During William Gallas' tenure as Arsenal captain he has scored
some vital goals for the Gunners.
His equalising goal last year against Manchester United at home
springs to mind, together with his winner against Chelsea in the
same year, and more recently leveling the scoreline away at Dynamo
Kyiv are all testament to this, and this is a fact that has not
gone unnoticed by head coach Arsene Wenger.
"There is no coincidence in football. He was a striker when he was
young and you can see he has the nose to be where you have to be at
the right moment," Wenger told the club's official website.
"If it is a corner or a deflected goal, William Gallas is there. He
has kept something of a striker in him and that comes out in these
desperate situations."
"The biggest quality of a striker who scores goals is exceptional
skill or through anticipation and understanding where the ball will
be. William anticipates and attacks the space," he concluded.
