Emmanuel Adebayor has hailed his partnership with Robin van
Persie as magnificent.
The front pair have hit 13 goals between them in Arsenals superb
start to the campaign. Although the tall, muscular Adebayor is a
different kind of forward to the sleek, fleet-footed Van Persie,
the Togo international believes their communication off the field
has made them complimentary on it.
The understanding between us is magnificent, he said. That is
what is giving us strength at the moment.
He likes to have the ball at his feet more than I do. He likes to
get off the front line and he has the technical skills to do that.
I am tall, I can climb high and I can go deep. I am more of a pivot
for the team.
At the training ground in the 10 v 10 games and the 8 v 8 we are
always on the same team. Automatically he tells me where he wants
the ball to go and Ill tell him where I want it to go.
We do enjoy each other's company and we talk a lot. There is a lot
of discussion.
But there is no jealousy. If it is not me who scores then it is
going to be him and that is good for the team.
