Gunner’s wish fulfilled: Mikel Arteta is the new club coach. The position game arrives (or returns?) To the Emirates Stadium.

Unai Emery did not fulfill his goal in the club, beyond that final reached -and lost- of Europa League. Only by sections did he find the maximum performance of a squad that was for much more. And, for his last days, it was not only that he had not been able to empower the team through the signings, but that absolutely nothing was going well.

The dismissal was logical. But the arrival of the substitute, however, no. Several names rang, although they formalized the most beloved and most logical option in the equation: Mikel Arteta.

And, in addition to the colors, he comes with the experience of having worked with Pep Guardiola what, right now, is the greatest merit in his curriculum.

So we have logic, emotion and guardiolism … Excellent.

Emirates position game

It will be interesting to see how Mikel Arteta captures his idea in Arsenal. From the pieces that he has to do it, which are not few or low level, to detect his criteria/wishes as a technician.

Will he be one of the most fundamentalists? Will he be one of the most creative? A Guardiola 2.0?!

There are many questions in the current confusion that Arsenal is going through, but if something could be certain, the team will be closer to the idea developed by Arsene Wenger and that, given the 19/20 team, is great news for the club.

We talked about how Arteta can squeeze this version of Ozil to the fullest … or not. But whenever there are possibilities, it should be mentioned.

Or the big winner of this hiring could end up being Dani Ceballos.

Pieces, pieces and more pieces. The Arsenal squad is one of the most flexible in the Premier League. There are players with ideal characteristics for the position game, as well as there are lines in which they must sign almost by law.

We talk about defense and that David Luiz is no guarantee of security, yes.

Arsenal has taken a step forward but will have to chain several to reach the level where they must be for several years. Arteta is the first of these.

Will it be able to give the others?
