Losa - Jordan makes others even better

 By Lloyd Webb

Pedro Martinez Losa has hailed Jordan Nobbs’ “fantastic” ability after her player-of-the-match performance against Notts County.

The England vice-captain scored a fine solo goal before thundering a 25-yard strike past Carly Telford at New York Stadium to help the Gunners lift the Continental Cup for the fourth time in five years.

Nobbs had been sidelined with a hamstring injury after the Women’s World Cup in Canada but fought her way back into Arsenal’s starting lineup, and Losa was delighted with the midfielder’s contribution in Sunday’s final.

"I’m expecting to stay a long time working for this club so it is important to win the first one so you can settle"

“Jordan Nobbs was fantastic,” Losa told Arsenal Player. “Obviously when one player scores two goals it is easy to evaluate her but you can’t just evaluate that one.

“The character she brings to the team, we were missing her a lot when she was injured and now since she has come back since the injury we have won all of our games and she is a good player who doesn’t just score goals, she makes the team better.

“She makes the other players better, like Vicky Losada or Jade Bailey and we can play some fantastic football and is very talented. Especially, appearing in this action and scoring two goals, it was key for us.”

The trophy was Losa’s first in English football, and the manager is confident that Arsenal will continue to build on their success next season.

"It is my first trophy in England and I have a few more in America and Spain and I’m very happy to bring trophies for this club,” he said.

“It is an incredible club and especially for the players because of the amount of war, the effort they have put in this season and trying to learn new concepts and adapting to our idea of football which has been phenomenal for the senior players and for the younger players who have made an effort. It is phenomenal to receive this award.

"The last trophy that you win is always the best one. Especially for me, I’m expecting to stay a long time working for this club so it is important to win the first one so you can settle and then you can have the confidence personally and collectively you can achieve objectives.
