Arsenal youngster Mika Biereth has shared what it’s like playing again▨st a defender as strong as Gabriel Magalhaes.
The 19-year-old joined Arsenal from Fulham༺ last year. It’s a completely different level in North London, especially when Mikel Arteta calls him 𓆉up to train with the Gunners’ first team.
Biereth is yet to make his senior debut for Arsenal but he has been involved in plenty of training sessions with the bi𓃲g boys. He has come up against almost every first-team defender, but one of them has really caught his eye.
Gabriel Magalhaes, or ‘Big Gabi’ as Biereth likes 🍒to call him, is one of the strongest play🐬ers at Arsenal and potentially even in the Premier League.

“I’d been pinning 18-year-olds at Fulham, whiꦡch wasn’t that hard and then I came to ‘Big Gabi’ who’s crunching from behind, so it’s completely different.ဣ
“It’s strength, but technique as well. It’s just about being a person to bounce off and advance up the 🌃pitch.”
