🚨🎙️Carlo Ancelotti on Gabriel Martinelli playing in midfield as a No. 8:
🗣️"When people talk about Martinelli, they immediately think of a winger because of his pace and his ability to beat defenders. But football has changed. The modern No. 8 is not only a passer—he must press, cover distance, attack the box, and make intelligent runs without the ball. Martinelli has many of those qualities already. He has an exceptional work rate, he is aggressive in the press, and he never hides from responsibility."
He continued:
🗣If you build the right structure around him, I believe he could adapt to that role. He has the energy to play between both boxes, the courage to carry the ball through midfield, and the instinct to arrive in dangerous areas at the right moment. Of course, it would take time because positioning is different, but great players learn quickly. Sometimes a player surprises you most when you move him away from the position everyone associates him with. I wouldn't be afraid to try Martinelli as an attacking No. 8 in certain matches because I think he has the intelligence and personality to make it work."

Feels like time to call it a day on this account, so this will be my final post.
I started this piss-taking Celebration Police thing 4 years ago and it’s genuinely been great fun. Unexpectedly so.
Through this account, I’ve met and engaged with some brilliant people, built a 55k following, made a bit of money and, for the most part, enjoyed my time here.
But let’s be honest: the joke wore thin a long time ago. And i’m bored of this platform and the increasingly repetitive, shit banter that fills it.
And Arsenal have won the league, so who gives a fuck about weirdos telling you when you can or can’t be happy about the football team you invest so much of yourself in😂
Policing celebrations is about as lame as it gets. It really is😂👎🏻
So thank you for all the support over the years, each and every one of you, and for engaging with The Celebration Police. You’ve been brilliant❤️
So for one last time…
ALL UNITS TO THE EMIRATES!!! 🚨🚨🚨
