“Arteta? It was his last chance to save his life.”

Mikel Arteta has come under fire in England after Arsenal was eliminated in the Europa League semi-final against Villarreal. There are several voices that consider that the challenge of reaching the final was great and he was overcome by Unai Emery. One of the most critical of the Spanish coach is former Arsenal defender Martin Keown. The legendary excentral, who is usually one of Arteta's strictest analysts, has once again charged him hard.

Keown considers that Arteta is not qualified to lead Arsenal to important heights, since he does not have enough professional background for it: “The Europa League is something different from the league. I think it is a huge task for a coach because of his inexperience. Obviously, not being used to playing at this level has made a difference. Arteta has paid for all her inexperience. I think he will remain the manager of Arsenal until the end of the season, but he knew very well that this was his last chance to save his life. “

Martin Keown admits that he was not surprised by the elimination of his former team, as Arsenal have had many ups and downs throughout the season: “It was a huge disappointment, they were nervous, unsure, the performance was never there and we shouldn't be surprised when we look at the position in the Premier League. It has been a roller coaster season with a lot of inconsistency from a performance point of view. “.
