Undergoing a Perfect Debut, Pablo Mari Praised by Arsenal Legend

DBasia.news –  Arsenal’s new defender, Pablo Mari, was praised by the Gunners legend for making a brilliant debut when Mikel Arteta’s team qualified for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup against Portsmouth, Tuesday (03/03).

In that match, Pablo Mari made his debut with Arsenal. The 26-year-old player performed quite well.

“Pablo Mari doesn’t have much to do other than his distribution. But he wins everything when needed. You can see that he is lacking in fitness and they are developing it. He seems to have a good player base there, “said Keown at Soccerway.

“There was an important first step on Monday night, even though he wasn’t tested that much as in the second half Arsenal really dominated possession. It was a bit of a football lesson for Portsmouth. “

“I think Mari appears solid, he has a nice height. You see the stature of the player and he wins everything. He is not fast, but fast enough to deal with all situations. “

“We played against a League One team that has a lone striker so Pablo Mari and David Luiz can be his boss. I think it’s important that he has Luiz beside him to talk to him during the match. Now we must give him time, he must be given more opportunities, “Keown added.
