Cesc Fabregas, a former captain of Arsenal, has criticized manager Mikel Arteta’s detractors for attempting to have him fired.
The naysayers, according to Fabregas, wanted to have the Gunners manager fired in 2021, but Arsenal was reminded that they “haven’t won anything yet.”
Early in his term, Arteta was in danger of losing his job, but the Spaniard has now made a turnaround.
The Gunners have risen game after game to the top of the Premier League standings and are vying for the championship.
On Saturday, Arsenal defeated tenacious Brighton 4-2 to take a 7-point advantage over Manchester City in second place.
Fabregas told The Times, “Maybe Mikel wouldn’t be there if we had listened to certain people at a time when Arsenal ended ninth and not doing that well.
However, they allowed him the time he needed to create his own style, with his own players joining in.
“Mikel was my teammate and he greatly aided me when I was a young player since he understood the game well. Although they haven’t yet achieved anything, they are undoubtedly on the right track.
