マルティネッリを綺麗に見送ろう！！
なぜなら、彼は若くしてアーセナルに移籍し、ここですべてを得、セレソンにまで駆け上がった男だ！！
彼が不十分なのパフォーマンスを見せたことがあるか？
彼がクラブやチームメイトについて悪口を言ったことがあるか？
彼はそういう無駄なことをする漢じゃない。
シンプルにフットボールが好きで、アーセナルをリーグ優勝させるという目標を達成した漢だ！！

[たつまきせんぷうきゃく @SzrH7KMCOMGqUWn]

イアン・ライト「マルティネッリの扱われ方には、正直、落ち着かない気持ちになる。彼はいつも全力を尽くしてきたし、重要なゴールもいくつも決めてきた。それなのに話し合いの場すら持たれておらず、本人も何が起きているのか分かっていない。少なくとも私はそう聞いてるよ」

[飛ばないオランダ人 @invincibles_10]

ガビの売却の噂で「ずっと同じメンツでやっていけるわけではない。」というのはよくわかる。でも無名で入団してきて良い時も悪い時もチームに尽力してきてくれた選手。甘々に擁護してしまうし、アーセナルを退団するその日まで残留して欲しいと願う物分りの悪いグーナーでありたいと思う。

20 years ago today, the Arsenal played our first game of the 2006/2007 Season! We scored some amazing goals in that campaign.

ジェンクスはこの一枚が全て。
グーナーがガナーになったという最高のストーリー。

[Carl Jenkinson @carljenkinson]

Thank you to everyone who played a part in my journey, from my Charlton days as a kid through to my last time playing football at Bromley. From the age of 8 football has been my life, it’s given me a lot, and I have also given it a lot back. In fact I’ve given it everything.

It’s for that reason that I can write this looking back over my career with no regrets. Do I wish certain things went better? Without a doubt. A lot of things. I once scored an own goal from 30 yards out. I certainly wouldn’t mind deleting that from history. But were these bad or difficult moments ever because of a lack of effort? No. Like I said, I gave football everything. Everyday.

And I guess I’m writing this because I can see that’s getting lost a bit these days. I don’t know if it’s social media painting a certain picture of what a footballer looks like, but I want to be clear, behind the scenes these top players train like their life depends on it. Alexis Sánchez, wow. Every training session he trained like it was his last. The ones that don’t, they fall by the way side eventually. Even when they’re really, really good. I’ve seen it happen to too many young pros and scholars, trying to make a name in the game.

Apply yourself everyday, listen to your coaches and learn from the players who have already been where you want to get to. Because if you don’t make it, and it’s because you got carried away with yourself, it’ll be a heavy burden to carry later in life.

I suffered a lot with confidence throughout my career, which I found strange because my Dad always backs himself to the hilt. I saw loads of people, to try and unlock something within me and find that inner belief. “Take the chains off” Arsène Wenger would say to me. “I’m trying boss”, I would say to myself. But I’m certain it was that same insecurity that gave me the drive I have, that would make me run harder and train harder than everyone else. Ultimately that’s what gave me a career at the top level, because physically I was a machine and I took a lot of pride in that. Was the way I am a blessing or a curse for me? A bit of both I think. But you can only play the cards you’re dealt and try and make the best of them.

I’m writing all this because I hope some young players might read it. You guys have so much confidence these days! I wish I could nick some of it and take it back in time, but confidence without application and having that fire in your belly to improve everyday won’t get you far. I see less young players doing extras, working on their craft, doing extra running after training. Trust me, you won’t have a career if you neglect this aspect.

Try and find the sweetspot. That’s why I love guys like Bukayo Saka. He’s got that swagger, but you only need to listen to him in a post match interview to see he’s never lost his humility. Find the sweetspot.

Hopefully the above has some value to someone out there. I didn’t want to write the generic retirement ‘thanks for everything’ post as it seemed like a missed opportunity. Although of course I am very grateful to my friends, family, coaches, managers and of course the fans who have been with me on my journey. I’m looking forward to seeing what life has in store for me next.

Cheers,
Jenko

Arsenal Defender Gabriel and Ex Arsenal Defender Tomiyasu Battle in the World Cup

[ニコ @newnico99]

ガブリエル・マガリャイスの言葉は重みが違う！！
「冨安と再び同じピッチに立ったよ。彼はアーセナルを去ったけど、僕らは今でも彼を愛してるし、彼も僕らを愛してくれている。」
「2シーズンにわたって怪我に苦しんだから、今、彼がピッチでプレーする姿を見られるのは素晴らしい瞬間だよ。」
「簡単なことじゃなかったけど、彼はそれを乗り越えて、今日、ここにいて、自分の時間を楽しんでいる。」
「試合前には彼とマルティネリと最高の時間を過ごし、試合後も、彼らが日本へ旅立つ前まで楽しむよ。」
「彼からは今でも献身的な姿が見えるよ。ボールを受け取り、パス、クロス、そしてデュエルを制する姿を見ればわかる。」
「彼はオーバーラップするディフェンダーの一人だ。彼らは敗退したけど、僕らにプレッシャーをかけてきたよ。」
「それを感じて、ある時点では彼らが僕らを追い出していくかと思ったくらいだ！！」
「試合の最後の数分でガブリエル・マルティネリが得点するまでね。」
「冨安（Takehiro Tomiyasu）はアーセナルにまだ友達がいるよ。彼は今もアーセナルにいる多くの選手たちと一緒にプレーしたんだ。」
「アーセナルを去ったばかりだけど、チームでの彼のハードワークを忘れるわけにはいかないよ。」
「そうだよ。彼もアーセナルを愛してるし、ファンもね。そして彼はファンに『やあ』と挨拶しに来るって約束してくれたよ。」

馬鹿なグーナーである僕は冨安がアーセナルに戻ってくる機会があると信じている！！！

Thierry Henry on Japan being eliminated from the FIFA World Cup after losing to Brazil:

🗣️ “This is the cruelest side of football. Japan gave everything they had for ninety-five minutes, pushed one of the greatest football nations in history to the edge, and yet they're the team going home. That's a heartbreak that will stay with those players forever.”

“They didn't lose because they lacked courage. They didn't lose because they stopped believing. They lost because against teams like Brazil, one single moment is enough to destroy ninety minutes of extraordinary football.”

“I hope these players don't let this defeat define them. They have earned the respect of the entire football world. They came here as underdogs, but they leave as a team every nation will remember.”

“The tears you're seeing tonight are not tears of failure they're the tears of players who gave absolutely everything for their country. Sometimes football can be incredibly unfair, and this is one of those nights that will hurt for a very long time.”

“Brazil survive, but Japan leave with their heads held high. Sometimes football doesn't reward the team that captures hearts it rewards the team that takes its final chance. That's why this game is so beautiful... and so brutally unforgiving.”

[SethOfficial @UTD_Seth001]

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Japan crashing out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after their heartbreaking defeat to Brazil:

“Football can be very cruel. Today Japan leave the World Cup, but they leave with their heads held high. They pushed Brazil to the edge, made them suffer and forced one of the greatest football nations in history to fight until the very end. That’s something no one can take away from them.”

“I don’t want to hear anyone calling this a failure. Failure is not giving everything. These players gave everything. They ran, they fought, they believed and they represented their country with incredible pride. Sometimes football rewards you, sometimes it breaks your heart. Today it broke Japan’s heart.”

“I saw the tears after the final whistle, and those tears tell you everything. They cared. They believed they could make history, and for a long time they looked capable of doing exactly that. The result hurts, but the performance deserves respect from the entire football world.”

“If Japan continue producing players with this mentality, this won’t be the last time they surprise the biggest nations. They have shown courage, discipline and personality throughout this tournament. Today they lost the match, but they won the respect of millions of football fans around the world.”
