According to the Metro, William Gallas has Criticism over Arsenal defender after Ricardo Calafiori confirmed to be new gunners signing. Arsenal had the best defensive record in the Premier League last season. They only conceded 29 goals last season which is a very impressive record. Most of the credit for this achievement goes to Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta. His tactics and management of the team deserves credit. The Arsenal team we saw during the lockdown had a massive improvement if we see their performances in the past two seasons. Arsenal are now a team that is good enough to compete for trophies and will soon win one. Mikel Arteta who was an assistant manager under Pep Guardiola has learned from the best and is now changing his squad into a formidable one. Arsenal will be ready for their Premier League campaign next season and give competition to Man City.
Arteta transformed the Arsenal defense into one of the best in the world. The defensive duo of William Saliba and Gabriel have stood like a wall all season for Arsenal. William Saliba has turned into one of the best center backs in the Premier League under Mikel Arteta. The French defender was also called by Didier Deschamps for the Euro 24 campaign of France. He gave impressive performances for the French team as well maintaining his consistency. Saliba is a figure who is impossible to replace by any player in the Arsenal squad. Gabriel also proved to be a good center back duo for the Frenchmen. However the biggest improvement in their defensive record came after signing Declan Rice. Former West Ham captain made his high anticipated move to Emirates and is already contender for signing of the season. The way Declan Rice transformed the Arsenal midfield is extraordinary stuff.
William Gallas Criticism over Arsenal defender
The Arsenal duo of Declan Rice and Saka were called by Gareth Southgate for England’s Euro 24 campaign. These two Arsenal players proved to be the best in already stacked English squad. Declan Rice is already a fan favourite in England and is termed as an untouchable player in the starting lineup. Same is with Saka after the player bounced back from his penalty miss against Italy in Euro 20 final. However the contribution from these two quality players was not enough to bring back the trophy to England. Many football fans believe Declan Rice was not used properly by Gareth Southgate. However football can be a cruel sport at times and we can hope the best for the English football team. Now that the international break is over Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will shift his focus to pre season and transfer window.
Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Ricardo Calafiori from Bologna. The Italian defender got his breakout season under Thiago Motta. Calafiori was also called by the Italian national team for their Euro 24 campaign. However the arrival of Calafiori can spell doom for two Arsenal defenders Jakbub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Kiwior got very less game time under Mikel Arteta for Arsenal last season. The defender’s time for Arsenal can be very well over with interests from many Serie A sides for the defender. However Oleksandr Zinchenko proved to be an instrumental player for Arsenal recently. Zinchenko moved to Arsenal from Manchester City and had a promising start with the club. However after some poor performances recently, his future at the club can also be in danger. The arrival of Calafiori will mean more competition in the left back position for Zinchenko. We can say Zinchenko’s time can be very well over.
