In the last few weeks, Arsenal's performance has continued to improve. They are trying to get point by point in order to either rise to the top position or keep it. This can’t be separated from the role of Arteta and the number of players who contribute well on the field. One of the Arsenal players who showed his talent & skill was Gabriel Martinelli.
Three wins were locked when this Brazilian player was included in the game by Arteta. Martinelli feels still can’t imagine will join Arsenal where the opportunity is a rare thing. Even though Martinelli is still pursuing a career in the Brazilian league starting from the third caste.
Before entering Arsenal, he first played for Ituano. Actually, his talent has been monitored by scouts from Barcelona and Manchester United. But in 2019, Martinelli officially became an Arsenal player despite struggling at the academy level first.
However, his performance is very unusual compared to the previous 11 matches he has played. Arteta said "he trains himself as hard as he can and he's not afraid to take risks, that's why I like him"
Martinelli is also a threat to every opponent in the Premier League. In addition to the skills that he has, he also has a strong mentality. So, he wants to always compete with other Arsenal forwards. Arteta said again that in a 50/50 situation in aerial duels fight or when he presses the opponent, the player who has Brazilian citizenship will use all his body to move against the opponent. So, the strategy that has been made, can run better.
Well, that's the key to the development of Gabriel Martinelli. I think the opponents in the Premier League should start to be wary of this young striker.
