Mikel Arteta’s Unconventional Methods Leave Football Fans Cringing
Arsene Wenger’s successor, Mikel Arteta, has been making waves as the manager of Arsenal Football Club. Fresh from his appointment in 2019, Arteta has led the team to resounding success, earning a spot back in the Champions League and establishing a sturdy presence in the Premier League. But did you know that Arteta’s unconventional approaches have also left fans in hysterics?
A Peek into Arteta’s Unsettling Methods
Arteta is indeed a man of unorthodox approach, as evidenced by his tactics from a team dinner. According to The Athletic, the Spanish coach hired a clandestine team of professional pickpockets to stroll around the tables, snatching up wallets and phones from unsuspecting Gunners. The pièce de résistance came when Arteta instructed players to empty their pockets, revealing the pilfered items. The purpose of this farcical exercise? Emphasizing the importance of vigilance on the pitch.
Arteta’s Methods Not Without Controversy
Whispers of Arteta’s latest antic have left fans and social media users alike scratching their collective heads. "There are definitely better ways to teach players to stay aware, but Arteta chose that cringeworthy route," one user bemoaned. Another added: "It’s like something straight from [Mission: Impossible] – these folks are football players, not secret agents!"
This is not the first time Arteta has opted for unconventional methods to get across his message. Remember when, during a training session, the team rocked out to "You’ll Never Walk Alone" to simulate the electric energy of Anfield? Yeah, exactly like that. Arteta appears to believe that every moment has the potential to be a teaching mechanism.
