Aubameyang stepped down as captain and Arsenal experienced a "captain storm". Petit and David Seaman believe that the Management of the Gunners is not professional enough, Arteta has too many things to take on, the authority of sports director Edu is not big enough, and the "Captain Storm" should be handled by the sports director, but unfortunately the management of Arsenal lets the head coach handle these things. Does Edu need to expand its management? Former German star Odongkol said Arsenal's structure would be more professional, allowing Edu to expand his management because the sporting director also needed to follow the rules of the club. Aubameyang is a former star at Borussia Dortmund, and Odongkol is also a nerazzurri star, who believes that Aubameyang has repeatedly eaten when he plays in the Bundesliga, and the Gunners management has made him captain, which is a lack of professionalism.
Former Brazilian star Edu became Arsenal's sporting director, but many find his management small – he seems to have only taken on the job of ambassador. For a professional football club, the scope of the work of the sports director is very large, and the renewal negotiation of important players, the reinforcement work and various storms within the team need to be handled by the sports director. However, after Edu entered the gunners' management, he did not seem to be involved in these tasks, and it is no wonder that celebrities say that his authority is too small. Odongkol also admits this, after all, Arsenal is not the first time to appear in the captain's storm, in the era of Emery's arsenal, Xhaka clashed with fans, the star was also removed from the captainship. Of course, Aubameyang was not quite right to be captain of the Gunners.
The Gabonese star played for Borussia Dortmund, he is well known as the "king of late arrivals", when Dembele liked to be late, and in Aubameyang's view, this phenomenon shows that the star's discipline is low. The Management of the Nerazzurri was more professional, and although Aubameyang's goalscoring stats were quite good at the time, Vátsk and Zork knew that such players could not be captains and that Gabon stars could not be role models for other players. If the captain's armband is left to the coaching staff to decide, many managers may only look at the data in front of them and ignore his disciplinary attributes. At this time, the sports director has to intervene in these things, especially when the captain takes the lead in disciplinary problems, and Odong Cole also feels that the sports director must at least help the coaching staff to share these storms.
So Odongkol believes that Edu needs to expand the scope of management, and since the former Brazilian star has returned to the management of his old club, he not only needs to show the identity of an ambassador, he also needs to play his role as an Arsenal meritorious player. In the stereotype, it is relatively easy for meritorious players to manage their old clubs, at least Edu can make the dressing room more united. Edu was unable to expand his scope of work, mainly because the gunman's structure was less professional. When Woodward fired Solskjaer, many celebrities jumped out and said that Manchester United did not have a sports director, and although the Red Devils had money, the team's management structure was too amateurish, and no matter who Woodward asked to coach Manchester United, there would be many problems.
Although Arsenal have the position of sporting director, from a professional point of view, this position is useless at the Emirates Stadium. So Odongkol repeatedly stressed the fact that Arsenal's structure should be professional, starting with the expansion of the management scope of the sports director. The former German star also pointed out that although the Clubs in the Premier League are relatively wealthy and there are many strong teams in English football, the gap between these clubs in terms of management professionalism is large. Chelsea is also the team that has become a giant in the new century, and Abramovich seems to be an outsider to football, but in his high-level investment model, he has established a more professional management for the Blues.
Stamford Bridge's structure is becoming more and more professional, and the coaches and players are getting better, which is one of the reasons why Chelsea won two Big Ears Cups in the new century. City's structure is also very professional, and after the club welcomed a consortium of local tycoons, they also quickly established a complex management and scouting system. Liverpool may not be as good as the Blues and Blue Moons in terms of finances, but John Henry is very focused on the professionalization of the team structure, and it is normal for Klopp to lead the team to the peak. So Odongkol said arsenal should learn from the professional management model of other Premier League teams, and Edu's role should be brought into play. As a former Brazilian star, Edu has connections in South American football and is a powerful resource for the Gunners.
