The way Arteta controls His players still surprises me, Arteta have really build Him for greatness,I wish we have one of His kind at Man United’: Manchester United Legend Sir Alex Ferguson was full of praise for Arsenal’s £280k-p/w star player’s pressing ability – Not Ødegaard and Not Bukayo Saka

His aggressive and relentless tactics against his opponent are intense. He provides Arsenal with a distinctive and exclusive quality whenever he plays; he is Arteta’s hidden asset.Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson praised Arsenal’s player, who earns £280,000 per week, for his pressing skills, specifically mentioning that it was neither Rice, Saka, nor Jorginho.

Arsenal’s goal-scoring ability was doubted by many during the season.

Their defensive performance has been exceptional, turning into very efficient units when not in possession.
Ferguson believes that a player such as Kai Havertz has significantly contributed to Arsenal’s success by offering a unique quality, as said during an interview with Premier League Productions on February 26th, 2024, at 5:35 pm.

The 24-year-old initiated Arsenal’s 4-1 victory against Newcastle United by playing a crucial role, contributing both a goal and an assist.

Mikel Arteta’s team, although feeling demoralized following their recent loss in the Champions League to Porto, rebounded impressively against Newcastle, who are competing for a spot in European competitions.

The Magpies struggled to deal with the London club’s smothering pressure in their defensive third, preventing them from advancing the ball.

Sir Alex Ferguson discussed Arsenal’s pressing tactics and highlighted Mikel Arteta’s satisfaction with his players’ defensive efforts.

Kai Havertz’s displays for Arsenal
Hargreaves described him as brilliant. He provides them with something truly unique, doesn’t he? Physically, I believe he has the capability to apply pressure due to his size.

The Arsenal press was exceptionally intense. It reminded me of the exceptional Tottenham and Liverpool teams.

“The best teams in the world are all cohesive, aren’t they?! Everyone. If we choose Odegaard or Kai, we will all go together. Declan, Martinelli, and Kiwior are all going to go. Mikel Arteta adores this. They have put effort into this.

Arsenal’s defensive formation
Currently, it is the top performer in the league, and if it maintains this level, it will secure them the Premier League title.

Summer acquisition David Raya, along with center-backs William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, is the club’s most expensive signing. Declan Rice, captain Martin Odegaard, and Havertz, who earns £280k a week, are key players contributing significantly to the team’s strong defensive performance.
The opposition is unable to play or deviate from their formation due to the overwhelming intensity of Arsenal’s gameplay.

A key factor in Arsenal’s recent victory over Liverpool at home will be critical once more for their upcoming important match against Manchester City.
