Arteta Will Struggle To Win The UCL – Sneijder

Netherlands legend Wesley Sneijder has said that Mikel Arteta will struggle to win the Champions League due to Arsenal’s lack of squad depth. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the semifinal clash was so boring that he almost called UEFA to cancel the match and declare the PSG-Bayern Munich match the actual final in Budapest.

Sneijder added that Arteta already deserves a statue for all he has achieved at Arsenal Football Club.

His words, “You have Timber in your squad, and you think, ‘that’s a good full-back, he’s going to help me’.

Then he drops out for a long time and then you have to fit in White… Timber wouldn’t even let him tie his shoelaces.

Arteta cannot field two squads, other teams can. So I don’t think that is justified.

For years, you have had Liverpool and City in England that you have to compete against. They have much better players. And in Europe, there are many even better players. He [Arteta] is simply doing an impressive job with his team.

I said after 35 minutes that UEFA needs to intervene.

They need to call London, ‘just get off the pitch, both of you, and the final will be played tomorrow’. We knew this was going to happen. Atletico in a block, dropping back, and Arsenal having a lot of possession.”

On Arteta, “I can’t say it often enough, people, but he really deserves a statue already.

With this team, it is so impressive to reach the final. Leaving all the other world-class teams behind you. I think that is very impressive.”

WOW.

After conducting an overhaul in the club’s operating model to coincide with Wenger’s departure, Spaniard Unai Emery was named as the club’s new head coach on 23 May 2018. He became the club’s first ever ‘head coach’ and second manager from outside the United Kingdom.

In Emery’s first season, Arsenal finished fifth in the Premier League and as runner-up in the Europa League. On 29 November 2019, Emery was dismissed as manager and former player and assistant first team coach Freddie Ljungberg was appointed as interim head coach. On 20 December 2019, Arsenal appointed former club captain Mikel Arteta as the new head coach. Arsenal finished the league season in eighth, their lowest finish since 1994–95, but beat Chelsea 2–1 to earn a record-extending 14th FA Cup win. After the season. Arteta’s title was changed from head coach to manager.
