I don't feel frustrated. As long as the team wins, I'm happy. I try to open gaps, to play in the build-up. My game is also to play for my team mates, it's my altruistic side, i've given assists for three goals here, but for sure I'd like to score. But if we win without me scoring, I'll be happy with that too.

I am delighted to be here at Arsenal and to be part of one of the great teams in English football. It's a huge satisfaction to join this great club and it’s been a dream since I was young to play in the Premier League. I was attracted by the philosophy of football and Arsène Wenger’s 'touch' at this club. I have always admired Arsenal with its great history and reputation, and I now hope to achieve great things here. I’m very proud to be a Gunner and I will give my best for all the Arsenal fans.

It is bizarre to have Thierry against us in this match, i would be very proud to show Thierry that he chose the wrong camp.

Courtois is difficult to play against. He is very good in this World Cup with a good defense in front of him, there will be gaps that will have to be used.

I would have preferred to have Henry on our side, to give me and the other French forwards advice, but I am not too jealous.
