against Bayern Munich and insists they will not just
defend at the Allianz Arena.
Gabriel Paulista has warned Bayern Munich that Arsenal will
look to attack them in their Champions League clash on
Wednesday.
Arsene Wenger's side responded to shock defeats to Dinamo
Zagreb and Olympiacos with a 2-0 victory over the German
champions on matchday three last month to keep their hopes of
reaching the last 16 alive.
Arsenal have a good record at the Allianz Arena, having secured
a draw and a 2-0 victory in their last two visits, although they
lost both knockout ties on aggregate.
And Gabriel is determined to take confidence from those results
into this week, saying after Arsenal's 3-0 win over Swansea City
on Saturday: "When we play away, we also have to have a
slightly different outlook, but that doesn't mean we will spend
the whole game defending.
"We are a big team, we are Arsenal and we need to attack
because we need the result, but we need to attack with
intelligence and make sure we don't suffer a defeat and
complicate our situation for the rest of our competition."
"Everything is possible in football," he added. "We know the
difficulties we are going to find. Bayern are an excellent team
playing at home with the fans on their side, so it will be a big
challenge.
"If we are as determined as we have been over the last few
years, I believe that we can go there and get a great result."
The Gunners are third in Group F after three games, level on
points with fourth-placed Dinamo Zagreb and three points
behind joint leaders Bayern and Olympiacos.
