When asked about the Gunners’ style of play, Arsenal great Thierry Henry defended manager Mikel Arteta.
Last season, Arteta guided Arsenal to victory in the Premier League, ending the Gunners’ 22-year title drought.
Similarly, Arteta’s squad was runner-up in the UEFA Champions League before losing to PSG in the championship game.
During an interview for Jerome Rothen’s podcast “Rothen s’enflamme,” Henry responded to criticism Arteta received about Arsenal’s tactics, saying: “It’s not that it annoyed me, it’s that at one point it took Mikel three-and-a-half, four years to be competitive, more or less.” This was reported by Metro UK.
He has proven to be an effective coach, and the leaders had faith in him and allowed him the time to build the club. I appreciate that he returned a title.
