ARSENAL ARE SLOWLY AND STEADILY CHANGING THEIR REPUTATION
Arsenal were the joke of the Premier League under Unai Emery. They had lost their playing style identity. They gave too much space to their opposition to attack. Hence, the owners decided to sack him in the middle of his season. However, the effects of his bad style remained under Arteta. It took two seasons for Arsenal to get their mistakes cleared.
However, in the last season and this season, the Gunners now have their own style under Arteta. He is now the person to make the final decision on the transfers. Hence, it is now a well-run club. Therefore, the off-pitch improvements are also improving the players. The players now pass the ball with much more confidence. Hence, a number of people are praising the patient’s effective passing of the Gunners.
MICHAIL ANTONIO SAYS THE GUNNERS ARE NOT THE JOKE TEAM ANYMORE
West Ham forward Michail Antonio has said that Arsenal players are now playing with more responsibility and freedom. He also said,
” It’s one of those things when you see them and you look at them, they know their structure and everyone knows where everyone is. “You can see a couple of the passes, players are not even looking, they are just playing the ball expecting someone to be there.”
This is not the first praise Arteta has received this season, Many have praised him for setting up a team to attack the opposition with full might. Another reason is also that Arteta does not make many changes in the Premier League matches. Hence, all the changes made by the Arsenal manager are made in the cup games. Therefore, the player is now aware that his teammate is always ready to receive the pass.
Arsenal would like to continue winning matches this season. However, all the players in the squad should not lose their focus. They will also have to manage their busy schedule this season due to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar this month.
