Recently, the 36-year-old former Arsenal captain Koscielny said in an interview with the French newspaper "Team" that Bordeaux clubs have told him that they are not in the team's plans. Currently, Bordeaux are 19th and second to last in Ligue 1 and the team is in full relegation.
"At the moment I can continue to train with the first team, but I won't be playing the rest of the games. I will keep in mind the days of wearing the captain's armband. I still want to fight for the team, I still want to help the club. It's a tough time, but we have to stay calm and the club will find a solution. ”
According to relevant statistics, in the past 6 seasons, the French iron guard's single season success rate has never been less than 65%, whether in the air or on the ground, whether in Arsenal or Bordeaux, or in the French national team, K6 has maintained an excellent success rate of confrontation.
In 2004, K6 debuted at Guingamp F.C. in The Ligue 2, where he started as a right-back and spent three seasons in Guingamp. In 2007 he moved to Tours FC and was officially relegated to centre-back. In 2008–09, he was named to the Best Eleven squad in Ligue 2. In June 2009, he moved to Ligue 1 side Lorient, where he made 40 appearances and scored four goals during his one season with Lorient.
With his outstanding performance, he was also appreciated by the gunners coach Wenger at the time. In the end, the professor took the French compatriot K6 to the Emirates Stadium for a transfer fee of 1250 euros, and at this point, the "French Gang" under the professor's command added another person. K6 also started the golden stage of his career.
In the case of Vermalen's continuous injuries, K6 gradually paired with German center-back Möldsack as the main configuration, and his partner with "Grandpa" can be said to be the professor's reassuring candidate for the final years of the Gunners' coaching.
Gradually becoming the Gunners' defensive leader in North London, K6 has been making its own contribution to the team. He even scored for the Gunners for nine consecutive Premier League seasons as a centre-back. That's in Arsenal's history, only 3 people have a record higher than him, namely Bergkamp (11 seasons), Ramsey (10 seasons) and Walcott (10 seasons).
K6 is the most "chilling" thing for Gunners fans is that he went on strike before the season and the official way he transferred to Bordeaux.
Although he later said that he did not have no respect for the club he had played for for 9 years. After K6 left, the Gunners couldn't find a suitable successor in the backline until gabriel's pairing with Ben White this season can be said to be satisfactory to Gunners fans.
Perhaps, the biggest regret of the former Arsenal captain is that he did not win the 2018 World Cup in Russia with France due to injury, the semi-final of the Europa League in the 17-18 season, Arsenal away to Atletico Madrid, K6 left the game with an injury in the opening 7 minutes without confrontation, the diagnosis after the game was a torn Achilles tendon, and the French Football Association then officially confirmed that Koscielny missed the World Cup due to injury.
France waited 20 years to lift the World Cup title again, and Koscielny missed the best time of his life. He experienced the 2016 European Championship, the French team witnessed portugal on the doorstep of portugal to win the European Championship bitterness, and when the French team entered the World Cup in Russia with the posture of champion, he was injured and missed, perhaps everything was destined.
