Odegaard already makes Arsenal smile

Martin Odegaard is already comfortable at Arsenal. Since he arrived, directly from a Real Madrid in which he did not see himself as a starter, has played every game in the Premier League for the ‘Gunner’ team. He only missed the defeat against Chelsea, because he had just landed in London and the League Cup match against Brentford, because he was playing for his national team.

Always as the holder, the Norwegian has chained the last two full matches, both with victory, and in the last against Burnley the victory was decided by him. A goal, his first with the Arsenal shirt, which served to make the three points fly from Turf Moor to the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal already has three consecutive victories, two in the Premier League and one in the League Cup and that Odegaard is one of the main culprits of this.

Because in a team that has always been used to having gamers in the center of the field, Arsenal had been missing a figure like the Norwegian for several years. Since the fall from grace of Mesut Ozil, Arsenal did not have that creative playmaker and only Emile Smith-Rowe seemed to be able to take the stripes of the German. But now Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette smile, because they know they have an Odegaard behind them capable of filtering passes and improving the team’s circulation.

If your union with Smith-Rowe it works and Thomas Partey recovers its level of Atlético de Madrid, Arsenal will have a midfield capable of competing in the Premier League and, although it seems impossible that it will give it to reach the positions of Champions League, should be in the shortlist for the first six positions. And it is that another season without qualifying for Europe is not acceptable. A good part of the responsibility for that to change is in Odegaard’s boots.
