TalkSPORT pundits say 22-year-old Arsenal player is so fast he’s almost ‘uncatchable’
Arsenal looked off the pace agains💛t ไChelsea on Saturday although one player who came out of the match with some credit was Gabriel Martinelli.
TalkSPORT’s YouTube channel, pundit Perry Gr🍸oves and journalist Sam Matterface were discussing t𒀰he match.
Chelsea may feel like they should have taken all three points off Mikel Arteta’s side given how well they played🐲 for the first 75 minutes.
It was only a mistake from Robert Sanchez that gave the Gunners a ch𝓀ance to get back into the match.
Declan Rice pounced on a 🌼loose pass and expertly slotted into the empty net.
Leandro Trossard scored a late equaliser after a fantastic cross from Bukayo Saka but it was Gabriel Martinelli that caught the TalkSPORT pundit’s attention.
Befo🍌re the Brazilian was substituted, he looked like the only Arsenal player willing to take on a man and use his pace to try and test Malo Gusto.
The young Frenchman did we🍬ll against the 22-year-old, however, his lapse in concentration later in the match gift༒ed Arsenal a vital point.
Matt👍erface and Grꦺoves both admitted they couldn’t believe how fast Martinelli was after this match.
He’s certainly no slouch but it’s not an aspect of his game he’s that w😼ell known for, primaril💞y because Arsenal tend to face defences that always sit so deep.
Arsenal star Martinelli praised for electric pace
Speaking about the young winger, ꦓSam : “I don’t kn🍒ow what you think but every time I see [Gabriel] Martinelli sprint I think, ‘Oh my god’.
“H꧂e’s so fast, isn’t he? He’s almost uncatchable. And even the fastest players in the Chelsea team could get nowhere near him. I mean he is so rapid, he’s off the charts.”
Perry Groves simply :༺ “[He’s] Abs𝔍olutely lightning.”
In Martinelli and Saka, Arsenal have two players with electric pace that could play at the ver🦩y top for 🅘years to come on each wing.
There’s an argument about who is the more talented forward but Arteta is likely to ꧅be relying on both of them fo๊r a long time.
Martinelli in one of the top 10 fastest sprints of the season so far, however, one player Arsenal have been linked with has.
Mikel Arteta might want to adapt🌟 his tactics in future to make the most of Martinelli’s speed.
However, his close control and ability to beat a man means he’s still essential even in games where Arsenal are facing low bl🧔ocks.
