Honestly, this scenario just pertains to the best stars in soccer; they score a lot, the fans are always yelling their name, and they are thinking, “I couldn’t be happier!” Coach Arteta has a lot of questions to be answered. Then comes an offer from a top club like Arsenal. That’s like living a dream! But what if a twist comes your way? According to sources. Even so, this is the exact situation we are going to analyze today.
Tactical Ace of Arteta: Arsenal Star Set to Dominate Fulham
A player’s decisions can go in a lot of different ways. However, the factors they weigh are the following. Will the coach help the player reach his/her maximum potential? Has he got a plan for the team? What is the skill level of the top players? Are they being united well?
Does the team play the same kind of football that the player enjoys most? Will they be placed in the favorite position? This one is obviously very critical as well! But it shouldn’t be the only thing considered.
The Arteta Factor: What’s the Plan?
Mikel Arteta is a powerful influence and has control over all the coaching decisions and strategies in Arsenal. His creativity is manifested in the way the team plays, and, to a great extent, it is he who determines the football philosophy. It is conceivable that the players during the period of their signing with the team might have had completely divergent thoughts from those of the coach. They might be considering a team that plays only in the opponent’s half, or perhaps the team would be ultra-offensive. Anyway, if the coach’s manner of playing is not the same as the player’s preference, it could bring about a serious problem.
Authors Opinion
In this case, “Alex” is the one who might be making a wrong decision concerning his transfer to Arsenal. It is far from being a fault on the part of Arteta and a denial of Arsenal’s status among the top teams. Maybe what happened was that Alex was not totally aware of the fact that, under Arteta’s coaching, the game was going to be played in a completely different way. He could have pictured himself as getting the goals, or he would be playing a minor role in the rotation.
