If the coach refuses to bench Him in our next match, I will definitely drop the captain badge that day, I can’t captain a team with such player Attitude”, Bukayo Saka angered by One Arsenal player attitude on the pitch against PSG that nearly lead to Red card situation

I will undoubtedly abdicate the captaincy that day if the coach won’t bench Him in our upcoming game; I can’t lead a team with such kind of player attitude. Bukayo Saka was incensed by one Arsenal player’s behavior on the field last night, which almost resulted in a red card.

This game had an unsettling familiarity for Arsenal. They were ahead 2-0 for the second time in three days, despite barely exerting any effort in the first forty-five minutes against a blue-clad team.

They failed to take a three-goal lead that would have ended the game once more. But this time, their visitors had no simple way to get back into the game.

PSG is a vastly superior opponent then Leicester, and they gave Arsenal a lot more of a contest in the second half. However, it seems that the Gunners were keen to minimize the drama this time around.

Not only is there a significant difference from this past weekend, but also from Arsenal’s season in Europe. They saw a team that was unsophisticated on the big stage the previous year. They appear wiser this time around and are eager to demonstrate it.

Following the victory, Mikel Arteta remarked of his team, “I sensed something different yesterday as well in the way we were preparing the game and how they wanted the level of focus.” “I believe they also wanted to demonstrate tonight that we are capable of being ourselves and being extremely dominant at home, even when facing a top team.” We need to keep doing it.

After the match, Bukayo Saka declared that he believed Arsenal would win the Premier League this year. It is hard to criticize him for confident performances like this against elite opposition.

Merino first appearance

After moving from Real Sociedad, Mikel Merino seemed to take an eternity, so it was only right that his debut took a little longer to come. After the strangest of ailments during his first training session, the Spaniard was able to make his debut on Tuesday night.

Merino’s size is the first thing you notice about him as he enters the pitch. What a mountain the man is. He also appears to have a similar personality. Shortly after his introduction, the 28-year-old Riccardo Calafiori was following orders with precision.

Internally, Merino is seen as a “win now” signing. He is confident in both his abilities as a player and himself, which ought to help him catch up more quickly. Arteta is certain he can.

“He was ready after just one session with us [before tonight],” the boss of Arsenal stated regarding their summer acquisition. “He was genuinely eager to participate in today’s events. We thought he was a player who could support us during that phase given the injuries and the adjustments we had to make. He’s done pretty well, in my opinion.

When Arsenal assumed a 4-4-2 out of possession, Merino and Rice formed a classic midfield partnership, playing slightly advanced when the Gunners had the ball. Though Merino may not have displayed the technical security and passing dexterity that Arsenal is looking for just yet, he did display the quality for which he is most known: his ability to engage in a duel.

There was a particularly meaty sliding challenge later on that was appropriate for the stormy weather that day. The Spaniard’s physicality thrilled the home crowd. Good beginning for the new guy.

Havertz at the top

Kai Havertz currently has an air of inevitableness about it. Although his Saturday’s goal against PSG was entirely intentional, there was undoubtedly some luck involved.

Havertz’s strong run and deft headed finish were superior to Leandro Trossard’s brilliant sprint up the pitch and timing of the cross. He has now scored at the Emirates Stadium six times in a row. Arteta exclaimed.

In addition to being quite strong, the Spaniard praised his center-forward for his intelligence. “The way he fills the gaps and brings everything together.” Now, when he’s in the box and you sense that he’s going to find the net. The goal was excellent, and the performance as a whole was excellent. I’m really happy with him.

Havertz seemed to be enjoying every bit of the physical aspect of being a No. 9. He appeared to be a player who was apprehensive to start the duel back in the day. By his own admission, things have changed beyond recognition now.

The German remarked, “It feels great to play here.” “I am so grateful to be able to play here and support the team; I adore this stadium and the fans.” For me, coming here was a major step. I used to not always be a player that enjoyed duels, but these days I do.

The fact that discussions regarding Arsenal’s need for a new striker appear to have ceased for the time being is the greatest honor we can bestow upon Havertz. It seems that the German is the solution.
