Jack Wilshere believes that chelsea's chapions league win last season
can inspire them ahead of a tough champions league clash against
Bayern Munich on tuesday night.
Last year champions knocked out the likes of Napoli and Barcelona
before winning the final against Bayern on penalties in the Allianz
Arena.
So Wilshere is hoping that him and his team mates can emulate that
against Bayern.
Speaking to Arsenal Player Wilshere says,
"I think that was an inspiration for everyone,"
he said. "They weren't having a good season
and they got a bit lucky in some games but
showed great character.
"We need to do that now. We need to come
together as a team. We've got good leaders
here. We've got a good team atmosphere here
and I think that's going to help us now.
"Arse
nal were knocked out of the FA Cup by
Blackburn Rovers on Saturday and Wilshere is
hoping his team-mates can channel their
disappointment into a positive performance
against Bayern.
"It's not ideal to go into a game like that after
the loss [against Blackburn] but we have to
show our character now," he said.
"We've done
it before so we know what we can do. We've
beaten big European teams here before so we
need to do that again.
"We need a good defensive display and then
we need to counter them well. They've got a
good defensive unit as well so it's going to be
an interesting game and we look forward to it.
"We've got a good bunch of lads in the
dressing room. They're winners as well. We've
got the likes of Podolski and Arteta. Players like
that are winners - they want to win.
"The fans are always great, especially in
Europe. I think they love the European nights
here and we need everybody behind us.''
