Mikel Arteta won the League after four attempts and multiple false dawns. But every year, Arsenal went again. Now? They win.
Andoni Iraola got Bournemouth into Europe after three seasons of progress, setbacks and adaptation. He will go and achieve more.
Vincent Kompany got relegated with Burnley, then won back-to-back Bundesligas. Didnโt make the UCL final. Bayern will still try again.
Sport is not a neat linear fantasy story where one bad season means somebody is irredeemably useless or a โfraudโ.
As Giannis said, โthereโs no failure in sports. Thereโs good days, bad days. Some days you are able to be successful, some days youโre not. Some days itโs your turn, some days itโs not your turn...โ
Grow from setbacks.
Celebrate progress.
Do it together.
My most random life changing coincidence:
My first football match on TV was @Arsenal vs Newcastle. Wanted to support the black color kit team, but found out the sponsor of the red kit team was Dreamcast, a console I had just bought back then. That was where it all started.
One Last Time Love of my Life @Arsenal , I want nothing but reaching the Promised Land with you. Take 5 years of my life as sacrifice if you have to and I am ready to sell my soul for what I have been waiting for the last two decades.
