Arsenal hero Jack Wilshere reflects on AGF spell: It was pretty smooth

Arsenal hero Jack Wilshere says he felt comfortable with AGF this past Danish season.

Wilshere insists the adaptation process was relatively plain sailing.

"To be honest it was pretty smooth," Wilshere told football.london. "They were good there, the staff were good, I had an open relationship with them where I could tell them how I felt, they could tell me if they wanted to do more, if they wanted to push me or relax. So yeah it went good.

"I felt, especially towards the end, really good. I felt as though I could really make a difference in games. In training, I felt sharp. I know that now we've got a little break so we'll see what happens, but I know that I can get to that level."

He also said: "The mindset was amazing from the players.

"There were no egos, everyone worked hard every single day in training. There were no problems, even when we were losing games. Being in a club and you lose five or six games – I've been in clubs where that's happened – things can turn a bit nasty, and players start saying things to each other and they start pointing the finger. There was none of that. It was actually quite unique in terms of how the players stuck together and the togetherness.

"Culturally, it was as it is. Everyone works hard and that's what it is. If you don't work hard, then you're not going to fit in, you know that straight away and you have to buy into that. Everyone was good people, everyone spoke English, so it was a really transition in that side of things."
