During his time at Arsenal, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was first a celebrated goalscorer and later a discarded troublemaker. Mikel Arteta ultimately wanted to get rid of the striker. A video has now appeared in which the attacker hands out his ex-coach.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang played for Arsenal for four years before fleeing to FC Barcelona earlier this year. A move that was the result of a crash at the Gunners. Both in sporting and personal terms.
The former Arsenal captain was initially demoted by Mikel Arteta because he had noticed several lack of discipline. As seen in the ‘All or Nothing’ documentary, the coach had a clear view that someone like that could no longer be the captain and leader of the team. Ever since he took office, it has been his goal to establish a new way of thinking and a sense of togetherness.
Aubameyang’s mistakes didn’t add up, especially not as captain. That’s how the crash began, while the striker was also only allowed to train alone for a certain amount of time. Then in January he moved to Barcelona. He has been back in London since this summer, but now in blue: Chelsea signed him for twelve million euros.
It has been almost a year since Aubameyang fell out of Arteta’s favor at Arsenal. Apparently he hasn’t finished with that yet. A video has appeared on the internet in which he kicks his ex-coach properly.
“Big characters and big names – he can’t handle that,” he accuses Arteta. Next: “He needs young players who keep their mouths shut.” Meanwhile, an interlocutor, probably a friend of the 33-year-old, interjects: “He doesn’t have good social skills.” The example of Mesut Özil, who also hardly played a role under the coach, is mentioned.
A recording that does not reflect well on Aubameyang. Although it is not clear when exactly the video was made, it can be assumed that his Arsenal exit was some time ago.
