something happens with Martin Odegaard (Drammen, 1998). <\/strong>Paradoxical as it may be,he Arsenal captain<\/strong> is having a residual importance<\/strong> in the season of Mikel Arteta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And it is that the injuries<\/strong> they have been primed with it former Real Madrid and Real Sociedad<\/strong>who has missed almost the same games (22) that he has played (28)<\/strong>. A trend that has worsened in recent months: He has only started two of the last 18 games.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Of course it’s worrying. He made his debut at the age of 15 and perhaps the wear and tear is beginning to take its toll on his body. Maybe you won’t have such a long career after age 30.<\/strong>. It could be bad luck, but he’s been very lucky lately,” laments his compatriot. Kjetil Rekdal<\/strong>former captain of Norway, in ‘Sport Witness’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The injuries of Eberechi Eze and Mikel Merino<\/strong> they force Odegaard<\/strong>who reappeared in the Cup elimination against Southampton (2-1), regain their best version<\/strong>. A potential that has not been seen this year: it barely adds up one goal and seven assists<\/strong> in 1,466 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe have missed him a lot.<\/strong>. He is a leader on and off the field. He has a lot of quality with the ball and without it. “He’s a really important player for us,”<\/strong> recognize David Raya<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    A reflection that shares ‘The Telegraph’<\/strong>: “After the most frustrating and injury-plagued season of his Arsenal career<\/strong>, He is the player who has the most to prove<\/strong> in this decisive stretch of the season. They have gotten this far without Odegaard, but now that has changed. Injuries, fatigue and anxiety have taken over the team and the midfield in particular needs a new boost<\/strong>. “It is no coincidence that Arsenal have often lacked inventiveness and technique in a season in which Odegaard has been repeatedly absent.”<\/p>\n

    However, Steve Nicol,<\/strong> former player of Liverpool<\/strong>considers that for Odegaard any time in the past was better. “I think I could leave Arsenal. <\/strong>He is the captain and 18 months ago he was the starter. Suddenly there are doubts about it because of the way they play<\/strong>. So if you’re Odegaard, what do you do? Are you staying? I don’t think you do.”<\/strong>pointed out in February in the ‘ESPN’. <\/strong><\/p>\n

    I have always liked Odegaard. His way of playing because he is very elegant, but he no longer influences the team<\/p>\n

    A thesis shared by Frank Leboeuf<\/strong>former del Chelsea<\/strong>: “I have always liked Odegaard. His way of playing because he is very elegant, but he no longer influences the team<\/strong>. He is generally in charge of initiating the action with horizontal passes. Now, with Eze, a more vertical and influential football is played. It is a difficult moment for Odegaard. “He will have to make an important, transcendental decision at the end of the season.”<\/strong> As I said: something is up with Martin. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
