Are Arsenal becoming the big bad? The club to bring down in England? In recent months, more and more fans or consultants have started to seriously criticize the way Mikel Arteta’s team plays. A fairly rough formation, which often seeks to chop up the game, with many goals from set pieces; which annoys a lot of people across the Channel.
Wednesday evening, the Gunners won 1-0 on the Brighton pitch, thanks to a goal from Bukayo Saka, author of a strike from outside the area which lodged in the back of the net, with the complicity of the Seagulls goalkeeper who made a hole at the time. An excellent operation for the Londoners, who took advantage of Manchester City’s draw against Nottingham Forest to now find themselves 7 points ahead of the Mancuniens, who have one game less. Clearly, things look very good for the title this season.
Hürzeler has it bad
And after the match, Fabian Hürzeler attacked his evening rival. “There was only one team that tried to play football today. I will never be that kind of manager who tries to win that way. There are different types of wins, so if they win the Premier League, no one will ask them how they win the Premier League. It’s about the rules… They do what they want: there must be a limit on time saving and the limit must be set by the Premier League. The limit must be set by the referees”said the German, very bitter.
Comments which very quickly made the rounds in the English media and social networks, while Hürzeler, before the match, had already highlighted Arsenal’s regular waste of time. Mikel Arteta, aware of his colleague’s statements, did not want to add fuel to the fire: “answer him? No. I love my players. A big congratulations to the boys. They made a colossal effort”. What is certain, however, is that in England, more and more people think like Fabian Hürzeler…
