Why did Arsenal Martineil perform poorly for a while before, and what role would he have in the team s new system?

Careful friends may have discovered that Arteta's use of Martinelli this season has changed. Originally, Arteta liked to put Martinelli on the left and used his breakthrough speed and impact to open up the situation for the team.

However, since Eze and Yorketh came to the team, Martinelli was somewhat used as the team's "guerrilla captain", giving more tasks of forwarding and scoring, and they both play on the left and right.

The organizational aspects are left to Eze and the others, and the center support is under the responsibility of Yorke, and Martinelli will respond according to the team's situation and team needs.

When he needs to attack, Arteta will treat him as a surprise; when he needs to defend, he will also take advantage of his positive attitude to let him grab more balls in the frontcourt.

Slowly, Martinelli's condition was also recovering, not as struggling as before, and gaining the opportunity to perform under the new system.

Judging from his performance in the past month, I think it is still good. Although he is not the absolute main force and starts every game, he still has a good effect of plug and play when Saka and others are injured and insufficient staff.

He performed poorly for a while before, and fans criticized him very well, saying, "Martinelli is useless at all. Arsenal should sell him, not keep him."

But objectively speaking, this conclusion is also a bit extreme.

Martinelli is an old minister. He came to the Gunners when he was 18 in 2019. Six years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he is also one of the players he has stayed in the team for a long time.

Not mentioning any contribution, there are also hard work.

With his positive attitude and football style, Arteta can train him more. The age of 24 is a good time for transformation and development.

Why did Martinelli not perform well with the Gunners for a while? I think there are both subjective and objective reasons.

In terms of subjective reasons, Martinelli's playing style is somewhat incompatible with the team's playing style. Arsenal's tactics are a bit "rightist". I like Saka to initiate it, but there are shortcomings in the support on the left side.

Whether it is Rice or Odgao, they prefer to let the team attack from the right side.

The route on the right of Arsenal will play very flexible; it has incisive, crossed, and sided, and its play style is relatively layered; while the route on the left will appear delicate and insufficient, and the sense of layering between crossed and incisive is relatively limited.

Whether Trosad or Martinelli, they tend to "rush" rather than control, and the response will be easily targeted by the opponent.

The overall configuration of rightism is obvious, and it ignores the penetration of the left side, which makes the team's left side seem "insufficient space".

It just so happens that Martinelli is a player who needs space to sprint. He has to have his teammates open up space for him to get an opportunity to impact. Without system support, he will be difficult to get on the verge of on the verge of being on the verge of being in trouble.

Watching Arsenal's game, before Yorke and Eze arrived this season, their offenses were still not balanced enough. If they could have the "good luck with each other" like Bayern Robary, the three-dimensionality of the offense would be better.

For objective reasons, we need to talk about the characteristics of Martinelli's football play.

His strengths are that he is positive, hard-working on the defensive end and a good attitude. During the game, he has a strong impact and a deep defensive retreat. He often goes to the position of the wing forward or even the wing back to participate in the defense, and actively cooperates with his teammates to intercept;

Sometimes when he plays football, you will feel that he is not like a traditional winger, with a shadow of a wing forward and a state of being able to go up and down;

is also very strong in impact, likes to break through, and the confrontation that breaks through can also bring pressure to the opponent's defense line, and some of the roles of a blaster.

The disadvantage is that the degree of delicacy is insufficient, and the rhythm is easily disconnected. He doesn't have the style of Eze who can slow down, control the rhythm calmly and play passes and penetrate with his teammates, and his creativity is not enough.

It’s not his fault. No one can be perfect and do everything well.

Unfortunately, he has suffered a lot of injuries over the years. When he was young, he had good speed and explosiveness. In recent years, he has suffered many injuries to his knees and ankles, which has caused a bottleneck in his style that he relied on.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to get rid of the defender with speed. In terms of mentality, he is also anxious, and sometimes the details of handling the ball are not very good. When the team is behind, he likes to tie the ball. He often thinks about taking the ball when he is double-teamed by his opponent. He also does not have the ability to observe his teammates' running position and passing the ball in advance.

This made him struggle to play.

The fans criticized Martinelli, or complained about his performance, which made sense. I also felt this problem when watching the game, and I was a little confused about the lack of football players in Martinelli's handling of the ball.

The limitations of the ball quotation and the problems with injuries caused Martinelli's condition to fluctuate for a period of time.

But when it comes to this, I have a new idea about Martinelli, which is whether Arteta can make him transform and play as a striker. He scored a lot of goals during this period and found that he had a strong sense of smell and counterattack in front of the goal, his impact was not bad, and his shooting skills were certain characteristics.

If the winger is not good and the performance is not good, can he be allowed to retract and then use his impact advantage? Especially after 75 minutes, Arsenal is in need of this kind of adaptability.

Can Eze be organized, Yorke retreats to open up space, and Martinelli will play Shadow Front. When Yorkress brought out the defense, he interspersed and responded to the pass from his teammates to score..

In other words, Arsenal can now play 442, and sometimes it can switch from the 433 double winger routine to the "one high and one fast" forward combination. Martinelli happens to be the key point to score and attack.

The Arteta has not been used frequently in this test. I think we can try it more in the later competition and expand it at this point.

Considering that multi-line combat, Saka and others also need to rest, they will be on the verge when they encounter injuries, and the team's multiple tactical changes are also good. This will prevent the team from falling into the dilemma of "over-concentrated right-side road", allowing the opponent to defend your offensive in a targeted manner.

For Martinelli, I still like him very much, and his playing style can help Arsenal.

If you want to compete for the championship this season, Martinelli's existence is very important, and he will be the key player in team rotation and tactical changes.
