Calum Chambers reveals the best advice he's had from Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger

Calum Chambers admits he's been told to relax

CALUM CHAMBERS has revealed the best piece of advice he's ever received.

 

The Arsenal youngster, who moved to the Emirates from Southampton in 2014, has struggled for game time this season.

He joined the same summer as Mathieu Debuchy and came in to the team when the France defender was injured.

But Hector Bellerin's progress through from the youth side has seen Chambers left on the sidelines.

 

Chambers has had to fill-in in central defence with injuries to Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny.

But he struggled against Liverpool when up against Christian Benteke and came off the bench when Gabriel was sent off in the Chelsea defeat.

The 20-year-old has been told to relax, and admits Arsene Wenger's wise words have helped his development. 

 

Chambers has had to play in the centre of defence

“I’d probably say the best piece of advice the boss has given me is just to relax and enjoy myself in games,” the 22-year-old told the Arsenal Weekly podcast. 

“Before the game or at half-time he would tell me to relax, to just play with confidence and enjoy it.

“I probably think that’s the best advice he’s given me because it helped me in my game. I can then relax, go onto the pitch and express myself which is useful.

“He’s improved me massively. Over the past year I think I’ve improved in my game a lot. He goes through little things with me on the pitch and individual stuff. 

"He gives me advice so over the past year my game has improved massively.”
