Arsenal U19 whiz Bradley Ibrahim: Wilshere so good for us

The Arsenal under-18s are heading to the FA Youth Cup semi-final this year.

The young Gunners are being admirably managed by former player Jack Wilshere.

With 22 goals in only four matches, they also had come from behind wins against Watford and Cambridge in the past two rounds.

Youngster Bradley Ibrahim spoke about the team and his coach Wilshere in particular.

“It's so good for us," Ibrahim stated to football.london of ex-player Wilshere.

"He's been in our shoes, played in the Youth Cup and been exactly where we are right now. He's able to give us information other people can't, so it's amazing having him around.

“The way he relays information when we're not on the pitch, we all know our game plan.

“What we're meant to do, where we're meant to be. Him telling us to be calm just means relax and think about our basics.

“That's something he speaks about a lot, the basics of football: running, when you have the ball, keep possession and your quality will show."
