For three games, Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (32 years old, 14 games and 4 goals in the Premier League this season), who has lost his captain’s armband, has been dismissed by his coach Mikel Arteta for disciplinary reasons . In front of the press, the Spanish technician defended his decision.
“I don’t establish my authority by acting like a dictator or being ruthless. I’m just asking for respect and commitment. At this level, if I can’t do it, I pack my bags and go elsewhere because this is the minimum I can ask for. I’m sorry but I will expect this from everyone who works for the club, first and foremost myself. The day I step away from this mentality, I walk out the door and I’ll do something else, “said the Gunners coach.
