The image shows Martinelli gasping for breath on the sidelines while his teammates were celebrating. I truly admire his energy and effort. I've never seen him complain or react negatively, even when facing intense criticism from fans. Sometimes I get annoyed watching him play so monotonously, but I never "hate" him. This moment was captured by photographers David Price & Catherine Ivill. 📸

All the great players have missed big penalties and gone through these kinds of moments. I received messages from everyone. "For me, this is not something I wish didn't happen. I am grateful that it happened. I will grow from it, learn from it, and move forward." 💬

And they said ARSENAL fans are delusional IMO The rule seems to change when it comes to us, every ounce of logical reasoning is forgotten lmfao

𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗔𝗠 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗕𝗔 𝗢𝗡 𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗚𝗔𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗟 𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗟𝗛𝗔𝗘𝗦: 🇫🇷📋🇧🇷 🗣️ “Gabriel is like a brother to me. We arrived at Arsenal around the same time, and we clicked immediately. He's a top defender, ready to die for the team. We've known each other perfectly for four years now, and he even speaks French. He's a bit more of a one-on-one type, while I tend to cover more; we complement each other well. He's more of a vocal leader than I am. I hear the comments about him being more of a boss than me, but honestly, we're very complementary. We each strengthen each other; it's not one of us carrying the other. I'm more of a leader through what I do and how I do it. For example, when I don't panic under pressure, it creates a sense of calm. Similarly, when I win my duels, it gives everyone confidence. We have the best defense in the Premier League (27 goals conceded), which wasn't the case before I returned to the club in 2022, when Gabriel had already been playing for two seasons. I certainly deserve some credit for this success, don't I?”

The data from the match exposes his role perfectly. The 18-year-old attempted 66 passes and completed 59 of them. That is the profile of a control valve operating securely under maximum pressure.

He draws the Brazilian press centrally, naturally isolating wide creators in 1 v 1 situations. The projection is his ability to completely control the tempo and manufacture wide overloads without ever registering a key pass or an assist.

Completing 59 of 66 passes isn't just about safe retention; it's about dictating the opposition's pressing triggers. By continuously executing calculated, low-risk passes, he acts as bait.

My #1 Partey replacement, Ayyoub Bouaddi starting vs Real Madrid on his 17th birthday The more I’ve watched Bouaddi, the more I’ve heard about/seen his personality, the more I’m convinced he’s destined for the top Get him whilst we can 🎥: @OussoudBall

People comparing Tzolis to Trossard don’t understand fundamental data. Trossard is a final-action finisher who thrives on minimal touches (around 38 per game) to kill games. Tzolis is a 24-year-old high-volume engine who demands the ball constantly to dictate tempo on the left flank. Different roles. Different stratospheres of responsibility. Stop the lazy comparisons

It's concerning to see that Ancelloti tried many systems was switching to find the right one and didn't even try to call Martinelli in to try to tweek somethings... Hmmmmm..
