Grateful to work in an environment where analysis and ideas are implemented. Proud of everyone for an unforgettable campaign.
See you 26/27 ๐

Mikel Arteta is โTHE MANโ at Arsenal Football Club.
Just like Jรผrgen Klopp was at Liverpool and Pep Guardiola was at City.
Managers are the most important figures at football clubs (assuming owners donโt handicap them with a lack of ambition).
I'm pleased to share that I have successfully completed my Diploma in Sports Management from the El Roi London University. ๐โฝ
Over the course of this program, I gained valuable insights into sports marketing, human resource management, leadership, management psychology, logistics, and the operational principles that drive successful sports organizations.
This milestone further strengthens my passion for working at the intersection of sports, culture, business, and community development. As I continue my journey, I look forward to applying these learnings to create impactful sporting experiences, meaningful partnerships, and opportunities that contribute to the growth of the sports industry.

Mikel Arteta: โYes. Noni Madueke as well. The only one [not available] is Ben White.โ

Thatโs an overly pragmatic approach, which takes something out of our attacking play, no matter the LB you put there. Mosquera is still the better choice. IMO. If theyโve been training it fine because it Favours the LBs dealing with inverted wingers like Kvara
I see the discourse around Arsenalโs right-back position against PSG centred around Mosquera and whether Timber will be fit enough.
What surprises me is that nobody seems to be mentioning the internal solutions already available.
A fit Calafiori or Hincapie possess the athleticism, defensive aggression and 1v1 quality required to deal with Kvaratskhelia in isolated situations while maintaining Arsenalโs structure in possession.
Against elite wide players, sometimes your best answer isnโt a specialist full-back. Itโs simply your best defender.
Watched this game recently and what stuck out to me was those diagonal passes from wide to zone 14. They did it so much against Essen, also because those were the spaces Essen allowed them have.
A few months ago I spoke about a team in Germanyโs 3rd division called SC Verl doing some very interesting things with a football
They caught my eye for their relentless commitment to verticality, tilting and diagonal attacks
Watch this possession phase vs Essen
What a gem!
๐จ Barcelona make proposal to sign Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United. Bid for 25yo #NUFC winger โฌ80m + bonuses; no agreement yet as talks over England intโl continue. Interest of other clubs ongoing but #FCBarcelona + #FCBayern strongest @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/MvUHXko2r0
Bruno Fernandes broke the Premier League assist record today.
Incredible considering he had none in his first seven games of the season.
An excellent achievement, made all the more impressive when you look at the names on the list ๐
@TheAthleticFC
Arsenal XI - Kepa, Zubimendi, Mosquera, Hincapie, Calafiori, Norgaard, MLS, Dowman, Madueke, Jesus, Martinelli.
Dont ask about shape and formations.
Its pure hoops and vibes.
Last Premier League line up of the season.
Its been a pleasure โค๏ธ๐๐ฝ
