Arsenal Chief Takes a Swipe at Florentino Over Odegaard: ‘At Madrid, Not Everyone…
The departure of Odegaard from Real Madrid continues to stir discussions. This time, it’s London that has taken notice and launched an attack on the white team.
Real Madrid has had notable successes in the transfer market in recent years. Fede Valverde, Vinicius, or Rodrygo are the best examples of bets that turned out perfectly in terms of performance and style of play.
However, the biggest blemish can be found in Odegaard. Although there was a financial gain, as he was signed for less than 3 million euros and sold for 35, on the footballing side, he has shown a lot of quality in his boots, although he never managed to demonstrate it at the Bernabéu. This ultimately led to his departure, as he was unwilling to fight for a spot in the starting eleven.
The Arsenal Attack At Arsenal, he has become a star, almost leading them to conquer the Premier League last season. Perhaps for this reason, former footballer and current Arsenal manager Edu attacked Real Madrid.
In an interview with Marca, he did not hesitate to assert, “there are players who perform well on one side and not on the other. It depends on good moments, opportunities. Our strategy is and was to sign young players, and he fit in. We have been following Martin for many years, and perhaps we have had the patience that others did not.”
Without a doubt, he was taking a jab at Real Madrid, though without considering that it was Odegaard himself who did not want to fight for a spot in the starting eleven against Kroos or Modric; he wanted to be a guaranteed starter and threw in the towel.
Especially because Real Madrid has demonstrated its commitment to young players, some of whom were criticized at the beginning, like Vinicius, but with hard work and perseverance, they have become stars, earning their place without the need for handouts.
