Albanians of the club's most hated Arsenal: After Jaka, Mustaf also reacts with a letter to fans

We're just people and we can't stop the brain. When you read the criticisms good or bad, they remain in your mind, writes Shkodran Mustaf, according to Pspress, Periscopi broadcasts.

When I came to Arsenal in 2016, the season had already begun. I came and played my first fight against Southampton. We won last minute. I think that's when we scored the penalty point and then played against Paris Saint-Germain as guest of the Champions League and then home against Chelsea.

Those were tough fights, but I did my best, and we played really well at all those fights. We equalled in Paris, won against Chelsea and had many good matches later.

It was a very good time because it was easier for me to adjust when things were going well, when the team was winning and when you knew you could be part of a team.

Of course, you want to start well, it's hard not to get emotional. After all, things are going well for a reason, and you need to keep working and improving. That's how you can keep winning the games. This is an important thing.

In that period, you shouldn't think: “Now everything will be easy” and then stop doing what you were doing earlier. I think the main thing is to keep doing your job, give yourself everything, keep trying to improve, and then you can keep on winning fights.

When you have fans on your side, it gives you more confidence. As a protector, it's always hard because you're always under pressure, especially when you don't have the ball and opponents are attacking. Any minor mistake can lead to a goal.

For people looking out, they see only one particular scene when wrong happens and then they get angry with you. You get nervous with yourself because you don't want to make a mistake again. It was hard to deal with all the pressure at this time.

As a protector, you always have a lot of pressure, but then when you're wrong, the pressure gets even more. Coping with pressure is not always easy. As a quarterback, you have to do your job perfectly just to have a normal fight.

When you win all the duels, when you win everything in the field, but then you make one mistake and get punished for it, it destroys all the work you've done before. This is something that makes the quarterback's work so difficult.

These things affect. After the match, of course, you're disappointed because nobody makes mistakes, but when I do one and get a goal because of me, I go to the stripper and I'm disappointed that I let my fellow players down. That's the first thing.

You look at the other players and you think: “Okay, they worked so hard and a mistake of ours cost us the fight” You blame yourself too much. I'm pretty hard on myself when I make mistakes. This is one thing you need to learn how to deal with because the next day you're back in training and you need to focus on not making the same mistake again, it broadcasts Express.

That's something that affected me, but I've faced this because I didn't want to make the same mistakes again. I wanted to come to practice and prove that I'm here for them, I'm here for the team, I'm here for the fans.

You have to face social networking. There, it is difficult to cope even when things are going well, and it is even more difficult when they go wrong. When the situation is good, it is easy to read your comments and enjoy them. This gives you self - confidence, but you must be careful not to overdo it because you have to stay professional.

Then, when things are not going well, of course you don't like what you read. You don't agree with many comments, so that makes life harder. It's much easier when things go well because when you read comments that you like, you have to go out and play and then you have those comments in your mind.

I try to block these things a little bit. I wasn't so active on social networks and I didn't read the comments, I didn't care about social networks, I just wanted to go back to the field and give my best because I knew I was playing like I wanted to.

I talked only to people around me, such as my family, my parents, my wife, my children, and they helped me forget everything. In the morning when I came to training, I focused only on training and then returned home to spend time with my family. I tried not to read too many human comments.

Do I feel that I was sometimes set by them? I wouldn't say that because it's very hard to say that. I don't think the world rolls around me or that I'm in the center of the world. But sometimes it was hard to understand those comments because I was also blamed for the bad fights I didn't play in.

It gets a little irritating when you read those comments, but after all, I'm professional and I have to stay that way. Sometimes you read comments and you don't agree with them and you want to say something, but then you quit because you want to be professional.

The next day you have training so you need to get all that energy and use it in training and try to improve, not just on social networks.

One thing my wife said to me has helped me: “You always have to remember where you came from and where you arrived now because it wasn't just fate. You've done a lot of work, you've made tough decisions, you've sweated a lot until you got here. So there's a reason why you're here at the highest level, so just keep doing what you're doing right now, this Express broadcast.

This season I've been playing most of the time in the League of Europe and in the Cup matches, so I've only focused on doing my job and trying to do the things my coach's staff asked to prove that I'm ready for the team. No matter what happens, I'm here working to become the player I want to be or even better.

I have really focused on myself and have given all my daily training. When I get home, I want to be able to tell my family: “I gave my best training today and I'm ready for any match. I'm ready to give you my 100 percent”. This is the main thing for me. I just want to focus on not making mistakes, being focused for 90 minutes and regain all the confidence I had when I got here.

I think the fans saw that too. I just hang my head when all the criticism turns to me and I work hard. I close my eyes and focus on my work, and I think fans appreciate it. I'm just working extremely hard to get back.

I think fans saw him in the last games I played in that I'm a person I've always given my best in the field. Of course, I've made mistakes like everyone else because we're professionals, but first of all, we're people.

Nobody makes mistakes for fun, it's just something that happens. I've always wanted to win and I've given everything to Arsenal for my associates. I think they appreciate that.

The next goal for me and the club is to go back strong. Things aren't going the way we want them to. It will be difficult, but I think we have the mental power and quality as a team to turn around and win the matches we need.

It's kind of the same as my situation when things weren't going as I wanted. We just have to stay together as a team and a club, along with our fans, the people who love Arsenal well. We must stay together and powerfully return together.

This is the only way we can improve. It's not time to point fingers at each other, we have to work together to get back and hope we enjoy the rest of the season.
