Speaking on the Arsenal YouTube channel, Bernd Leno has been reacting to some of Granit Xhaka’s best goals for Arsenal.
The Swiss international doesn’t score often, but when he does find the back of the net, you can be sure that it’ll be a special strike.
The midfielder has an absolute rocket of a left-foot, and when he connects properly, his shots are nigh on unstoppable.
Unfortunately for Leno, he often has to face Xhaka in training, and he says that the midfielder’s strikes are impossible to catch.
What’s been said?
Leno gave his view on some of Xhaka’s best strikes.
“It’s very difficult for the goalkeeper, it’s a long distance, but the ball is moving and going to the goalkeeper’s right. We all know that Granit’s shot is very, very powerful so,” Leno said.
Leno echoed a similar sentiment when he was shown another of Xhaka’s screamers later in the video.
“His shots are very unpredictable, they’re impossible to catch and it’s not easy for the goalkeeper,” Leno added.
Unstoppable
Leno is absolutely right about Xhaka, some of his shots are simply unstoppable.
Say what you will about his all-around game, when it comes to having a clear path to goal from 30 yards out, there aren’t many players you’d rather have on the ball than the Arsenal midfielder.
His strikers aren’t just super-powerful, they’re incredibly accurate and unpredictable.
Coming up against Xhaka must be a goalkeeper’s nightmare.
