Bruno Guimaraes, the captain of Newcastle, reveals the key positions that Arteta needs to work on if he truly wants to win the title this season. “After missing those two crucial chances yesterday, that’s when I know that they’re not ready to win league,” Guimaraes said. “A team with a winning mentality will not miss those chances.”
In the aftermath of Newcastle United’s victory over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, the star player for Newcastle United, Bruno Guimaraes, was ecstatic.
At the Emirates, the Gunners were defeated by a score of 2-0 in the first leg. After that game, everyone was terrified of the worst possible outcome, but there was still a glimmer of hope that they could turn things around.
On the other hand, Eddie Howe’s game plan was absolutely spectacular, and Newcastle had every right to win against the Gunners on Wednesday night and advance to the championship match.
There was, however, a single point in the game that had the potential to completely alter the outcome.
In the match between Newcastle and Arsenal, Bruno Guimaraes expresses his reaction to Martin Odegaard’s missed opportunity.In order to win the game on Wednesday night, Arsenal needed to take the initiative and attack the game.
They were trailing by two goals going into the second leg of the match, and everyone was aware that the first goal of the game would have a significant impact on the outcome of the match.
The Gunners were fortunate early on because the goal scored by Alexander Isak was disallowed because it was scored offside. They had a golden opportunity, and they needed to make the most of the luck that had come their way.
The captain, Martin Odegaard, was in a fantastic position inside the box to score, but the right-footed shot that the Arsenal star took hit the post and went out of play.
On the other end of the pitch, Newcastle scored a goal after Isak had hit the crossbar and Jacob Murphy had tapped in the rebound. This occurred less than a minute after the initial goal.
The question was posed to Guimaraes after the game, and the captain of the Toon team responded by admitting that he was pleased to see his Arsenal counterpart fail to capitalise on his opportunity.
In an interview with Sky Sports, he stated, “Yeah, I was very happy that he missed that because it was a significant opportunity for themselves.” I believe that we scored after two minutes, which was a significant turning point in the game.
“I believe that we were aware that if we were to score first, it would be incredible for us. It turned out that everything went according to plan, and we are overjoyed; now we are celebrating with the boys.
It is possible that Mikel Arteta will be compelled to make a decision that will be uncomfortable for Martin Odegaard in the near future. Odegaard has been one of the best players in the Premier League over the course of the past two seasons, but he has not been quite as good as he normally is this season.
The Norwegian international player suffered an ankle injury earlier in the season, which caused him to miss a significant portion of the season. However, he made a strong comeback after his injury.
On the other hand, Odegaard has not been very good in front of the net this season either. However, he has only scored three goals throughout the entire season, which is not sufficient for a central attacking midfielder player.
At this point, Arsenal will be taking a break for the middle of the season in Dubai, and Arteta needs to figure out a way to get Odegaard back to his best form.
In the event that the Norwegian continues to present difficulties, the manager of Arsenal may be forced to substitute young Ethan Nwaneri for him in the position he currently occupies.
It would be somewhat embarrassing for the captain of the club to do that.
