Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has submitted the failed hunt of Mikel Arteta in Mikel Arteta and even used a Manchester United side 'where everyone laughs' to hammer his point to house
Thierry Henry has stated that it is 'normal' for people to question Mikel Arteta and the lack of silverware that he has won as Arsenal boss. The well -performing Gunners did not succeed in winning this campaign another trophy.
After two Premier League seasons of the second place of the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola, Liverpool van Arne Slot brought them to the top-flight Kroon this time, which means that Arteta had to settle for second place.
The humble Manchester United ended their FA Cup run via penalties, and the final competition champions Newcastle boomed in that competition.
In the Champions League, Arsenal brilliantly reached the semi-final stage after sending Real Madrid packaging, only to see their campaign end through the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
Without silverware, nor a big final to create about this term, questions were asked to Manager Arteta, who last delivered glory through the 2019/20 FA Cup, his only distinction such as Gunners Boss. Club legend Henry has now talked about the doubts and admits that questions are well justified.
“I understand that in the beginning [for Mikel Arteta] You arrive and it is not your team, “Henry started, speaking to football, offered you by Sky Bet.
“You need at least three or four transfer penters to change everything you want. It takes time, and you have to give a manager the time to be able to implement what he wants to do. Now, the past three years, Arsenal is in a situation in which they at least have a cup. Or have a final.
“Manchester United has played in five finals in the last five years, the United States that everyone laughs at, while for Arsenal, no final reaches for Arsenal.
“So I understand that when people ask the question:” You should definitely compete for a trophy? ” I am not saying that I am disappointed about Arsenal, but it is normal for people to call on what the team does. “
Attentions now go to the transfer window prior to what feels like a make-or-break campaign for the Spanish head coach, who will discuss the Emirates' sixth full season.
With the new sports director Andrea Berta, Arteta admitted that this summer's budget is variable, but there is a first amount in place and an eagerness to improve.
“The thing is that the budget is like when you have your wedding, you plant your wedding with your wife and you give her a budget and never less, it's always more,” Arteta joked.
“When you build a house, it is always more. Normally this happens. You reach yourself for different scenarios. Then unfortunate things happen. Sometimes we want a player, and suddenly we have an injury, or that player is injured.
“There are so many variables that can happen, but there is a budget. There is always an idea of ​​what we can do, what we can improve, what the priorities will be and let's see if we can do it.”
