Last Wednesday, Gabriel Martinelli, from Arsenal, gave a press conference, before the decisive match of the Europa League against Sporting, which takes place at 2:45 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio de Alvalade. The striker celebrated the return of compatriot Gabriel Jesus after a meniscus injury and partial knee collateral ligament injury.
“He’s a great guy and a great player. I’ve said it many times, for me he’s one of the best in the world. He’s going to help us a lot in the coming months,” he said.
With the injury of the Brazilian teammate, the winger had to assume more responsibilities in the attack of the Londoners. In the conversation, the player made himself available to coach Mikel Arteta to help the team in whatever position is needed.
“Whether I’m number nine or full-back, I always try to do my best and help the team by scoring or giving an assist”, began the Arsenal striker.
“It’s up to Mikel – wherever he decides to play with me, I’ll play. If the team needed me, I would play as a goalkeeper! We play for Arsenal and everyone has that responsibility.”
One of Arsenal’s highlights of the season, Gabriel Martinelli played 32 games, scored 11 goals and distributed two assists. Thus, it has helped to keep the team at the top of the English Championship, with 63 points, with five points ahead of Manchester City, in second place.
