People seem to have no idea how hard it is to face low blocks every week. This is why Arsenal got good at set pieces, it often becomes the only avenue to finally break down defences
Watched Anthony Gordon against a basmati low block which he never faces at Newcastle and he was fighting for his life.
This is the same low block everyone expects Nelli to excel against.
We will all learn soon.
People saying why didn’t South Africa also get our own Uzbekistan in the group…
Every group has its own Uzbekistan. If you don’t spot the Uzbekistan…chances are you are the Uzbekistan
😭
The year is 2019.
An 18-year-old boy, previously rejected by Manchester United after 4 unsuccessful trials, joins Arsenal Football Club from Ituano FC for a reported £6 million fee.
He’s given the No. 35 shirt.
Few knew his name. Fewer believed what he would become.
🎶 “His name is Gabi, He’s from São Paulo, And he plays for Arsenal, La la la la la la la!” 🎶
We sang whenever Gabriel Martinelli hit the back of the net.
From relentless pressing to that crucial goal against Manchester City in the title race, he quickly became one of the key sparks in Arsenal’s revival, playing with fearlessness and energy every time he stepped on the pitch.
A boy arrived wearing 35. A star emerged wearing 11 to lift the Premier league title.
But why the shirt number 35 for an unknown 18 year old?
Because ladies and gentlemen, it’s been exactly 35 days since Arsenal won the Premier League title.
It's crazy how people think Haaland is unique because that body only exists in the US instead of realising that he is unique because this body type is not meant to dominate soccer.
The idea of Alvarez is better than the actual player.
The saga, hassle, transfer fees and his reputation is so high for the kind of striker he is.
He can’t bench pensioner Lautaro and missed an open goal last night, had less NPG goals than most top team strikers last season.
