Odegaard and why he left Madrid: “I wanted stability”

Martin Odegaard made the decision this summer to leave Real Madrid in search of greater prominence. He found Arsenal, a club that welcomed him on loan last year. The midfielder explained at a press conference with his national team, Norway, why he chose the English team again to undertake a new project in his sports career.

I wanted stability. I wanted to settle down somewhere with great players who wanted to put the club back on top, with a good coach. That's why I think Arsenal is perfect for me, “said the talented footballer. With Mikel Arteta as coach, the 'Gunners' will try to take another step after years of sporting flavors. Far away that mighty Arséne Wenger Arsenal with Thierry Henry as a great star that aroused the admiration of half Europe.

Martin Odegaard also gave his opinion on the Amazon series that Arsenal is filming. “I must admit that having cameras everywhere is not my favorite thing.. You automatically think a little bit more about what you're saying when there are cameras there, but the equipment is low-key, “he said.

The Norwegian released a dart at the sports media in Spain at the press appearance: “Absolutely everything that has been reported about me in the Spanish media is false. I am very happy to be back at Arsenal. I loved being here from the first day I came in January. “

It's been a tough Premier League start for Odegaard. Manchester City thrashed Arsenal this weekend (5-0), clearly leaving in evidence the technician Arteta. The team was outmatched from start to finish and it is the first time since 1954 that the 'Gunners' have started a domestic competition with three consecutive defeats. Madridismo then took its revenge for the Norwegian's departure from Madrid.
