Mikel Arteta's assistant team is in the final stages of negotiations to extend Arsenal. It is expected that all will sign until 2027 with a significant salary increase. To achieve this, they have worked with Arteta to create good results continuously in the past 2 seasons.
Timber and Saliba's two goals against Man United in round 14 of the Premier League have not helped Arsenal score 22 goals from corners since last season. Of those, 10 goals were opening points. This is very special because often when using corners as a goal-scoring tool, most teams are in a chasing position.
To get success on the pitch from such corners, Jover had to work a lot on the training pitch. How much it is cannot be qualified, but looking at Jover's representative photo on social media, we can see how much research has been done on corner kicks.
To achieve the current success on the corner, it is not only Jover's attack, it also depends a lot on the players. Arsenal conducts corner kick drills very professionally and separately, several times a week. Not only players who receive the ball in the penalty area like Gabriel or Saliba, but those who create situations from free kicks like Rice or Saka are also very important. These two stars took all 13 of Arsenal's corner kicks against Man United.
"There were some very good corners tonight. When I put the ball in, I knew it was dangerous. I just thought about getting the ball to the right address in the box, and eventually scoring a goal" - Declan Rice shared.
It is no coincidence that Arsenal recruited players with good heights, even outstanding such as Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba and Mikel Merino. When Rice and Saka started to step up to the corner kick spot, all these tall players knew how to move.
When Arsenal signed Petr Cech from Chelsea in 2015, John Terry said Cech would help the Gunners win 12 to 15 points per season. With 22 goals from corners last season, how many points has Nicolas Jover helped Arsenal win and how much is this expert worth?
Jover knows that he is highly regarded by Arteta and the Arsenal board. When Arteta was offered a new contract in September, the Gunners immediately made a move to extend the Spaniard's coaching staff. It's been a long time since football fans have seen such a big mark on an assistant. Jover not only helps Arteta stabilize his training on the training ground, he also helps his " boss" realize calculations on the pitch through corner kicks.
Now, every time Arsenal get corner kicks, their opponents will become more and more scared. Jover's value comes not only from goals, it also comes from helping Arsenal become more and more feared in every match.
