DBasia.news – Although Arsenal had appointed Mikel Arteta as team leader in December 2019, he also had doubts. Apparently, Arteta has no coaching experience after three years as assistant coach to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
Nevertheless Arteta is still trusted to coach the club and the process is starting to show results. The Gunners have only lost (1-3) against Manchester United at Old Trafford, but they are still top of the Premier League table.
In addition, Arsenal’s spending on players in the summer of 2022 was enough to convince fans by signing Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner, Gabriel Jesus, and Oleksandr Zinchenko. The last two names contributed greatly.
Seeing Arsenal’s game as a club legend and now a football pundit, Thierry Henry admits that he now has faith and hope that his former club can win something.
“I can see the team there, the togetherness, and I like that. The team is different but you have players like Gabriel Jesus, William Saliba, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka. I believe in them. I haven’t believed in something like this for some time, believing that we can do something,” Henry told Goal.
But there is one concern Henry has for Arsenal, namely the depth of the squad if they had to rotate players in the Europa League.
“But I’m worried about the Europa League because of the depth of the team. I think the starting XI is good enough but it’s a long season so maybe it’s a bit tough for them,” added the Frenchman.
The Europa League is one of the events that Arsenal participated in to win trophies in addition to the FA Cup, League Cup and Premier League. With the 2022 World Cup, Arteta will also rotate players frequently.
