Live Bar February 6, Arsenal star Ian Wright recently on his podcast, talked about Arteta's use of Nicholas Pepe, Wright believes that Arteta's use of Pepe has a problem, can make Pepe play pseudo-No. 9.
Pepe scored 10 goals for Arsenal in the league last season, but this season he lost his main position and has only started five times in the league so far. Pepe has recently excelled in representing Côte d'Ivoire at the Africa Cup of Nations, contributing two goals and one assist to help Côte d'Ivoire reach the round of 16 (Côte d'Ivoire lost to Egypt by exchanging penalties in the 16-8 match).
Wright said: "So far this season, Arteta has had problems with Pepe' use, Pepe has played very few games and he still has a chance to prove himself one last time. When I saw Pepe's contribution to the Ivorian team at the Africa Cup of Nations, I wondered why Arsenal couldn't get that from Pepe. ”
"Let Pepe play a pseudo-no. 9 (fake center), or let him play in a freer position, give him more opportunities to attack with the ball. At the same time, Smith Ro, Saka and Martinelli also have to fight for more goals, and they have not yet proved themselves like Aubameyang. ”
