Arsenal striker, Gabriel Martinelli, was again on the match sheet, but his late contribution was not sufficient to guarantee the three points of the Mikel Arteta team.
The Brazilian striker, who left the bench, shared his reflections with the BBC match the day after the match, admitting that even if he was happy to score, the team felt disappointed not to leave with a victory.
Martinelli also mentioned how he is not happy as a substitute and wants to enjoy more playing time.
Speaking after the match, Martinelli admitted that Arsenal had done enough to win but was no chance in the decisive moments.
“Of course, we wanted to win the match,” he said. “I think we have created a lot of chance during the match and that we were simply unlucky at certain times. Happy with the goal but we did not want to draw the game, we wanted to win it, so let’s continue working to win them.”
Gabriel Martinelli changed the game for Arsenal
Despite the creation of multiple opportunities, Arsenal could not find the instinct of killer in front of the goal. Martinelli’s strike gave them hope, but it was not enough to swing the result of their favor.
The Brazilian was quick to rent his teammate for help.
“I saw EBS [Eberechi Eze] By obtaining the ball and I tried to establish a visual contact with him and once the ball is opened, I made the movement and it was a big ball of him. I just tried to put it on the back of the net.
The 23 -year -old also discussed the challenge of not always starting the matches under Arteta, although he reiterated all his confidence in the manager.
“I work for these moments. I leave [selection] To get it out, he knows what he is doing. I do my best to help this football club. Of course, I don’t want to be on the bench. I want to play 90 minutes in every game, but Arteta knows what he is doing, he’s gaff and everyone trusts him. We are really satisfied with him.
Martinelli wants a starting role at the club
While the goal of Martinelli has recovered a point, his words reflect the ambition and the standards in the Arsenal camp.
For him and his teammates, the prints are not enough, especially in a season when the margins at the top of the table are thin.
The Brazilian remains determined to transform his cameos into coherent departures, and if his hunger is equaled by the rest of the team, Arsenal will continue to push strong in their quest for silverware.
