Mikel Arteta’s Passion: A Double-Edged Sword for Arsenal
Mikel Arteta’s passion for Arsenal is undeniable, a driving force evident since his arrival at the Emirates Stadium in December 2019. The Spaniard’s relentless energy on the sidelines, be it instructing players, directing plays, or engaging with his assistant manager, is a testament to his dedication.
However, while his fervor undoubtedly has positive impacts, there’s a potential downside that might come into play.
The Arsenal boss might need some time to pacify his emotions
Arteta’s touchline dynamism can irk referees, a point exemplified in Arsenal’s recent match against Manchester City, where he was cautioned for his excessive behavior. This is where Arteta’s unbridled enthusiasm might work against him, especially considering the new rule that mandates a red-carded manager to be sent to the dressing room rather than the stands.
Arteta no doubt is a passionate man
This poses a dilemma for the Spanish tactician, as being confined to the dressing room would hinder his direct influence on the team’s performance during the match. In an era of hyperconnectivity, the significance of the “human touch” and immediate touchline guidance can’t be underestimated.
Hence, Arteta faces the challenge of tempering his emotions to strike a balance. While his passion fuels the team’s drive, an overzealous approach could lead to a red card that diminishes his impact on crucial moments.
Finding the right balance between his fiery enthusiasm and maintaining his presence on the touchline might be the key to Arsenal’s success in the upcoming season.
