- This is how ODEGAARD became a REAL BEAST in ARSENAL đ±
Martin Odegaard is the captain and engine of Arsenal, which are moving at full speed to the English Premier League league title! In this video, weâll show you how the Norwegian turned from a promising junior into a real machine in midfield and what Mikel Arteta did with him. Be sure to subscribe to Vamosito so you don't miss any of our videos. Letâs get started!
Odegaardâs huge advantage is that during his career he has played in all positions in midfield and attack, so he perfectly understands how to act in all situations on the pitch. And although he plays only in the midfield center at Arsenal, his functionality together with tactical objectives allow, or even demand, to be constantly in different corners of the pitch.
âEvery day, I'm learning something new. There are so many details, body position, how to control the ball and it helps us to improve,â Martin said.
This is what makes him such a defining player for the Gunners.
âHe always wants the ball and he commands our pressing. He's really influential,â this is how Mikel Arteta described Odegaard a year and a half ago.
Martin is always focused on progressing the ball. He constantly finds partners, cutting through the opponent's defensive formations with his passes. If thereâs no opportunity to create a threat, Martin always aims to give a pass to a partner and immediately opens up to receive a return pass.
If there are few options for a pass, he skillfully keeps the ball and progresses it via dribbling. Martin's style of ball control is reminiscent of what Leo Messi does, although not on such a cosmic level.
At Arsenal, Odegaard takes the place of an attacking midfielder in a 4-2-3-1 formation, or one of the box-to-box central midfielders in a 4-3-3 formation. These two formations can be used by Arteta even within a single match, depending on the tasks that the team sets for a given segment of the match.
A typical maneuver of Arsenal this season is to overload the wing and deliver the ball to Odegaard so that he chooses the further attack development. You can see one of those moments in this example. Martin receives the ball closer to the right wing and immediately has three options to continue the attack: White, Saka and Jesus.
Due to strong decision-making in general and in such situations in particular, Arsenal are able to create many moments near the opposition's goal. Odegaard fits this role perfectly.
Martin is one of the best in the world at cracking open the opposition's defense in various formations. If the opposition operates narrowly in midfield, as West Ham did in the recent Premier League match, the Norwegian understands the need to use the space on the wings and, both in the build-up and near the opposition's goal, skillfully positions himself in the half-space and between the opponent's lines.
The threat that Martin carries forces opponents to pay personal attention to his maneuvers. And Odegaard makes great use of it. In addition to the fact that he perfectly chooses the episodes when itâs necessary to move to the wing or open in the center between the lines, he also wonderfully clears the space for partners. Understanding that he is being marked, he takes an opponent away from the ball and gives his partners space to develop the attack.
On top of that, this season Martin has improved in terms of goals scored a lot. At the moment of making this video, he has already scored seven goals this season - the same number he had for the entire previous season. He owes it to Mikel Arteta. The Spanish coach took note of this aspect of Martin's game in pre-season training. This especially applies to the timing of sprints into the opposition's penalty area.
Odegaard is now a threat not only as a playmaker, but also as a scorer, which makes him even more unplayable than before.
We donât even have to mention Martin's ability to assist as this skill of his is so obvious. He has five assists in 15 Premier League games this season.
âI was desperate to sign him. Fortunately, he is here now. He really is like a young Cesc FĂĄbregas. I think he has developed into a complete player,â you canât imagine a greater recognition of Martin's skill than this quote by Arsene Wenger.
Of course, we must also talk about Odegaardâs leadership qualities. He became Arsenal's captain at the age of 23 and seems to have booked the position for many years to come. The last person to wear the armband for more than two seasons was Cesc Fabregas over ten years ago. So there is hope that the story of the ever-traveling captain's armband, which has already become a source of ridicule, will end thanks to Odegaard.
#odegaard #arsenal #football - Sport
World class player in a world class team . Real Madrid eat y'all hearts out. Arsenal got him for a bargain y'all regret.
As an Arsenal fan, i would say Madrid's decision to sell Ode n keep the trio of Luka, Toni n Case was justified. How many titles have they won with those 3. Odegaard could never break them apart because they are the perfect foil for each other. He would not just fit in that 3. They performed at the highest level for many years. Madrid isnt in the business for making money off transfers. They are the spenders. But anyways, I have to thank them for Ozil n Odegaard. Maybe who knows they would sell Valverde or Vinicius to us in the future. đ€đ»
â@@helmiafiq3017 They should have kept Odegaard to be the first backup 8 and keep getting more and more playing time as Modric and Kroos get Les and less. I understand not playing him over those two, but he has proved his quality in England. You should always be able to find a role for a player with this much talent.
@@Asshat237 well, they (Real Madrid) didn't keep him and we (Arsenal) got him for a bargain (by today's standards) and he is a natural born leader for both club and country..he has amazing vision and ability to both provide and execute goals that make the jaw drop.. here's hoping that he stays at Arsenal until a ripe old age..Viva el Rojas..!!!or something..
@@helmiafiq3017 this is such a bold claim......odegaard aint playing near such teams as they do when they won titles...simple idiot comment
He's actually our first successful captain since Fabregas. That role has always been something of a "defence against the dark arts teacher" position in Arsenal.
Professor Severus Snapeđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Fabre gas was actually a shitty captain.
I agree. Worried about when Vieira is there tho, i would prefer to have another 10 available for when smith rowe is out..
Martin odgd is a world class; one of his own kind! I can't wait sighting him lefting the EPL trophy this season
He is a mix of Modric, Messi and Socrates. A real ode to joy!
that pun :(
That carrot:(
đ€ą
He's such a brilliant player, reminds me of Oziil
I think he is better than ozil. The numbers should stack up soon. Only thing he will never win is the World Cup.
@@rohannatu you lot are forgetting how amazing Ozil was and it shows smh
Ozil is afraid to shoot
Ozil is too absorbed with his own brilliance. He needs the entire team to be built around his abilities. Odegaard is more willing to play in a way to suit and enhance the strengths of his team mates. Of course, it helps that the guy has so many different abilities; intelligence, vision, passing, touch, dribbling etc
@@jjsamuelgunn1136 If he was absorbeb by his own brilliance he would have score way more goal instead of giving litteral gift to a team mate who just had to tap in lmao, a player who is constantly searching for the pass and the assist doesn't care about this.
It's a matter of fact that back then Arsenal was awful, didn't have any serious help around him and Sanchez, either the few help was injured for half of the year every season or the other player was not good enough.
What a player
I remember watching him when he played in Norway.
It was quite a sight to see this kid dribbling of players twice his age.
Norwegian players are usually not as technical. At least considering 1 on 1, so i was thinking he is very special. It was kind of sad to see his career development. Though it was a big step from the top series in Norway, it was a downstep from Madrid. He got kind of forgotten... Until we heard that he got lot of praise for the 2021-22 season. Though being pro-LFC, i believe most of my countrymen feel pride on behalf of both him and Haalland.
Showing that we are more than "mountain-apes", as one prominent danish football coach once said.
Yes he is always expecting a return pass not like most midfielders.
Thanks Real for letting Odegaard leave, and also Leicester for not letting Maddison leave. .
Traditionally Arsenal have international captain's all over the pitch..nice vid..
Great content.
Another outstanding ability as a captain is his tactical awareness to dictate the pressure line of the team in defensive positions, and also tell teammates to change positions to prevent critical situations.
Don't forget He's a captain at the Age of 24Yrs
Its quite simple to explain why Ăždegaard didnt succeed in Real. He is simply not the person to force modric and kroos out of a team. Even tho i think his potential is way bigger than both those fantastic players. His vision is simply beyond just about anyone... BUT.. for him to be able to use that he needs consistency... namely other players playing to his strenght. making the runs expecting "impossible passes" which noone else than Ădegaard is able to play... that just doesnt work when you are a substitute that has to force senior players out first. i will argue that Ăždegaard always was this good.. it was just the circumstance that was bad... and another thing is that he seems to have been surrounded by totally disastrous strikers throughout his first years... like when he was in Heerenveen... he created so many chances... 100% chances that totally useless teammates just blew... making his stats extremly underwhelming.... he has not improved... he has finally gotten decent teammates that are kind of up to his standards...
He really deserves a credit according to the way he control the ball In midfield...
Im fan since Marc Overmars era. I would say keep humble as our goal is CL first & try to win the next match.
Still got my number 11 shirt. Doesn't really fit now that I'm old and fat but I keep it as a monument.
I always liked Overmars but no one ever talks about him.. Overshadowed by Bergkamp I guess.
Great!
His really a Young Messi
Ouch. You rly said that ? đźâđšđ
@@savakaragaca3509 dawg just compared to messi đ
@@DEMOMAHREZ its like comparing me with Odegard, same difference... đźâđš
@@savakaragaca3509 NO I'M BETTER THAN YALL đ„đĄ
I'm arsenal supporter. But are you on drug..?
Best midfilder than kdb
Just wait till he ends up at Chelsea

Usually as a non-native speaker of English, I can understand almost anyone. This narrator was difficult to listen to, though.
I guess it has something with him possibly being spanish or something?
Why does this guys accent change like 8 times lmao
That's a pure talent of accent mixing without even knowingđ
and his voice is same like arteta
â@@mr.dronenial2266 what video are you watching mate
@@kingkie0980 I'm just being sarcastic that Ordegaard and Arteta voice is same but actually the narrator voice
@@mr.dronenial2266 can you translate that to english now mate
Yeah
is possible
