May 6th Vieira was interviewed by the Telegraph and talked about Arsenal, whom Arteta coached. Vieira believes that if this Arsenal wins the Champions League, they can stand shoulder to shoulder with the unbeaten Gunners.
The following is the content of the article
"How many times have Arsenal won the Champions League?" Vieira asked. After I answered "zero times", he added: "That's right. So if this group of players wins the Champions League, they will be remembered as great as the Invincible Armada because they have done something really special for the club. To me, they will be as important and equally great as the Invincible Armada."
When asked if they would share this glory with Mikel Arteta's players, Vieira smiled and immediately replied: "If it does happen, I'll be very happy."
"I don't like comparisons because each of us has their own strengths and weaknesses," Vieira said. "But it's thanks first to head coach Mikel Arteta, as he transformed Rice from a defensive midfielder to a more 8-position midfielder. Arteta saw Rice's physical strength, suitable for being a B2B midfielder, able to rush to the penalty area, enter the second line and score goals.
"This kind of change in position is very important, so give Mikel the applause. Of course, I really like watching Rice's game. I like his spirit and competitiveness. I like that he always pushes forward, he is a winner.
"I think the No. 8 is more suitable for him because it can be said that he is like playing with a 'handbrake'. But as the No. 8, he has the intention to rush into the penalty area and score goals, and I think it is suitable for his style of playing."
Regarding the hope of Arsenal's reversal at the Princes Park Stadium, Vieira said: "To be honest, I firmly believe they can reverse. I'm 100% sure that this group of players and the head coach knows they can do it, without any doubt.
"They have to play the perfect game away." They have done this before, and they have such player qualities. They still have a good chance and they are still alive. ”
