Former Inter Milan football player and Russian national team Igor Shalimov shared his views on the current situation of London Arsenal.
Close to winning the Premier League for the first time in 19 years in the 2022/23 season, Gunners lost the lead in the second half of the season and lost the lead to Manchester City.
“I said that even when they were ahead by a margin, there was no margin of safety there. If the game was on, they smashed it, but when faced with difficulties, they immediately fell into a stupor. And when such aircrews breathe from behind, they always float.
See how Odegaard plays? These are very light players to win the Premier League. Romantic football doesn’t work in England. And the “City” or the same “Liverpool” is first of all power. Arteta’s inexperience also affected, ”says Shalimov sports24.
After 36 games in the English Premier League (EPL), Arsenal have accumulated 81 points and are second in the standings. City are four points behind, Manchester club played one less game.
Former Manchester United footballer Gary Neville criticized Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko for the stormy celebration of Arsenal’s victories.
