Martin Odegaard: Creativity in ‘phenomenal’ Arsenal captain’s nature – Mikel Arteta

Starting against Olympiacos, Odegaard dictated the game with Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino, and a goal was rejected by a perfect Constantine Tzolakis Rescue and follow -up block by defensive Panagiotis Retsos.

“It has all the language in the world,” Arteta said. “And to play with this freedom and this game level, threat level.

“The way not only by transitions, but also to take the ball and carry the ball, run and reach dangerous areas.

“He put three people to score a goal, he had to score a goal. It was great to get back, he played very good moments in Newcastle to help us win the game. [here] He was extraordinary. “

Arsenal has changed its game style this season and adopted a more direct approach to the best use of its new signatures and especially striker Viktor Gyoketes.

Sweden’s strong explosion in the box ended with Tzolakis pushing the end of the pole, and Martinelli is in the rebound for a 12th minute opener.

He watched a pass from Odegaard: “This is what I want to do, especially with advanced players, especially with Viktor, who is a very aggressive and always a threat.

“This is my job, creating something for them. There may be a few assists, but we won and enjoyed it.”
