in the fourth year of Mikel Arteta on the bench ofArsenalthe young Gunners project has definitely blossomed: the London team are first in the Premier League after 9 days and lead the Europa League group midway through their journey. This week came the 1-0 win at Bodo-Glimtthanks to the goal scored by Saka in the 24th minute, tomorrow will be the league’s turn with the game against Leeds at Elland Road.
At nearly 24, the former enfant prodigy of European football Martin Odegaard he now seems to have perfectly fallen into the role of leader. Awarded with the office of captain at the start of the season, the norwegian attacking midfielder is the heart of the team and last Thursday he was also among the best on the field. After the game, the ex-Real Madrid star was the protagonist of a truly unique scene on the domestic TV microphones, who was understandably excited – in addition to Bodo’s defeat – to have a national idol in front of him.
Odegaard was in the mixed zone and thought he was struggling with the classic post-game interview, when the journalist in front of him started singing a song evidently dedicated to him. The Arsenal player’s expression says it all: between surprised and embarrassed, he expected those interminable seconds to pass as quickly as possible, as he tried to behave himself by drinking from a bottle.
Why the Norwegian journalist felt the need to serenade Odegaard will remain a mystery. At the end of the presentation, the Gunners captain, not knowing what to say, sketched something polite.: “Thank you, it was great, a great job“What matters most is that with the success in Scandinavia, Arsenal continues with its extraordinary script for this start of the season: Arteta’s men won 11 of the 12 games played, all three of the Europa League (where they must recover a match not disputed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth) and 8 out of 9 in the Premier League, where they lost only to Manchester United in early September.
