​Cech confident he can adapt to new Arsenal tactics

Despite a shaky start Arsenal keeper Petr Cech insists he has no issues with playing out from the back under new boss Unai Emery despite an opening 2-0 defeat at home to Manchester City.

"I have to say that I enjoy it because I played under different managers with different styles and over most of my career I was always asked to play long, so this is a pleasant change for me," said Cech.

"It will be very useful when you want to beat a team who controls the game through possession.

"You need to create the superiority in the back when you build up and obviously today they are very used to playing a high press and they did it very well.
