Jamie Carragher is worry about Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta being just a good manager. But unable to climb over to the same level of elite coaching as Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is facing.
Back in 2014, Pochettino was consider a rising star head coach who stood out with Southampton then was absorb by Tottenham Hotspur as the new boss.
The outstanding feature of Pochettino is making football fun and exciting, and producing many rising stars in the world. and lay a strong foundation for the organization But the matter of losing a horse to death cannot escape the failure of good moves.
For example, in the 2015-16 season, there was a chance to win the English Premier League championship. But they couldn’t compete with Leicester City, a dark horse team. Or when the 2018-19 season enter the Champions League final. They lost to Liverpool 0-2 and were fire a few months later.
Taking the job of managing Paris Saint-Germain of the French Ligue 1 later, he was only good in the country. Continental failure When he came to mold Chelsea, now it’s been up and down.
A famous history but the wheels don’t turn, similar to Arteta, who made a name for himself as Josep Guardiola’s right-hand man at Manchester City. Then jumped to the challenge of being the head coach of Arsenal. At the end of 2019, in just the first season, he led the team to win the FA Cup.
Even though it is often say that we are just riding our luck when football is play during the COVID-19 outbreak. Many factors are not normal.
The Spanish coach follows Pochettino’s playbook, nurturing a team that can be trust to continue growing. There is a chance to win the English Premier League championship from the previous season until 2023-24.
But it was the same as before, losing focus at the end of the season and losing at home. Dropping top of the league. Continuing with the break from the orbit of the quarter-finals of the Champions League, fresh and hot.
That led the former Liverpool centre-back Carragher to use the X account @Carra to express his opinion that Arteta might just be a good manager. But not great.
“Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are in danger of becoming the Spurs of Mauricio Pochettino: an impressive team. But only got close to the excellent grade,” the former 2005 Champions League champion commented.
“It would be an understatement to say that Arteta was like Pochettino during his time at Spurs. Because the truth is that he must be respect and credited for shaping Arsenal into what they are. Team competing for league championship Rather than criticizing them for missing out on the championship in a painful way.”
“However, being remember is just a good worker. It would not be convenient enough if history shows that Arteta’s time in charge of the Gunners lacked the honor of winning the English Premier League or the Champions League.”
Carragher also wrote a column via ‘ยูฟ่าเบท‘ saying that if Arsenal doesn’t win against Wolverhampton this weekend. He probably lost his concentration for a long time, ending his path to compete for the league championship.
