Mikel Arteta He is one of the most recognized coaches today. He worked hard for it, ever since he caught the Arsenal He managed to turn the club around and is now competing for the Premier League.

Although it is most normal to hear praise about the Spanish coach, not everyone can like you. Alan Shearerthe Premier League’s all-time leading scorer, wondered in an article in The Athletic how He attacked Arteta, who he would have ‘hated’ if he had been his coach.

“I have never worked with a man like Arteta. Someone who flirts with you like crazy and tells you where to stand or exactly what to do”express Shearerwho gave his reasons by praising “I’ve always been of the opinion that if you’re a good player, you’ll figure things out anyway. If I felt I had to turn left or right, or even go into space, I would do it.” myself. And as the captain, I feel like I have the authority to tell my teammates to do something. If I have to say it I will.”

I don’t want to be ranted and criticized from the touchline and I can’t remember it happening to me many times. Why do I hate it? Professional pride. You play in front of thousands of people in stadiums and at home on television and you don’t want to be embarrassed. It may seem delicate, but that’s how teams are, relationships keep them together,” he concluded.
