Emmanuel Petit has slammed Mikel Arteta and claimed that Arsenal have been a failure this season. He believes that the club should have won a trophy this season, and it should have been the UEFA Champions League.
Speaking to Casinozonderlimiet, Petit stated that he is ‘tired’ of watching Arsenal go trophyless. He believes that the Gunners need to become the team to beat once again and added that they should be the team everyone fears to play against. He said via GOAL:
Mikel Arteta and Arsenal lost to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the UEFA Champions League semi-final this season. They are set to finish second in the Premier League once again, and it will be the third time in a row.
Harry Redknapp has told Mikel Arteta that second is not good enough for Arsenal and they need to win trophies. He added that the performances have not been good enough, which has seen them fall behind Liverpool this season.
He said on Sky Sports:
The Gunners have not won a trophy in five full seasons under Mikel Arteta. He won the FA Cup trophy months after taking over from Unai Emery, but has managed just two Community Shields since.
Sripad has been a Chelsea fan through and through since the age of 9 and can watch their 2012 Champions League triumph on repeat. The undisputed ‘GOAT’ according to him is Lionel Messi and his favorite managers are Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson. Apart from popular European leagues, he also likes to follow other leagues like the MLS, Saudi Pro League, Eredivisie, and Liga MX.
Sripad believes in only using the right sources for his articles, and is an expert in understanding how to get the right quotes for each news to provide proper background information. His exploits have led him to become a popular figure in European Football and interviewing Premier League legends such as Alan Shearer, Shay Given, Paul Dickov, and John Barnes. His articles have been much revered amongst the football fraternity and have been shared by the likes of John Terry, Gary Lineker, and Declan Rice.
If given a chance to change a football rule, Sripad wants VAR to be fully automated and offside rules to be less stringent. When not working, he likes to watch past Formula 1 races and play FIFA.
