“I couldn’t hold back my tears when he told me he’d be leaving this summer. Without him, we’re nothing on the pitch,” Zinchenko said emotionally during a press conference, as another crucial Arsenal star confirms he will depart at the end of the season — and it’s neither Saka nor Martinelli.
**BREAKING NEWS: PSG Manager Luis Enrique Names the Arsenal Player He’s Most Wary Of — And It’s Not Saka or Rice!**
As the countdown to next week’s Champions League clash between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain intensifies, the psychological warfare is already underway. In an unexpected moment during a press conference earlier today, PSG head coach Luis Enrique pointed out the Arsenal player he’s most cautious of — and it’s neither Bukayo Saka nor Declan Rice.
“I’ve already assigned three players to mark him closely throughout the match,” Enrique revealed. “He’s the only truly skillful player in that Arsenal team who can do wonders with his feet. You give him space, and he’ll punish you.”
Although the Spanish tactician didn’t disclose the player’s name directly during the briefing, insiders strongly believe he was talking about Arsenal’s dazzling Brazilian winger, Gabriel Martinelli. The 23-year-old has been in outstanding form this season, turning heads with his lightning-fast pace, slick dribbling, and clinical finishing.
What makes this development even more intriguing is that Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti made a similar remark about Martinelli in the past.
In a post-match discussion last season, Ancelotti reportedly told reporters, “He’s the one Arsenal player we feared. His footwork and movement are unpredictable. He’s a special talent.”
Luis Enrique’s choice to assign three men to shadow Martinelli underscores the increasing recognition and caution the winger now commands among Europe’s elite.
While names like Saka and Rice frequently capture media attention, Martinelli’s flair and capacity to deliver game-changing moments haven’t slipped under the radar for top-level managers.
PSG’s approach could either prove to be a tactical masterclass or a potential misstep. Devoting excessive focus to one player might create room for Arsenal’s other creative forces such as Saka, Odegaard, and Jesus. Still, Enrique appears focused on shutting down the individual he feels poses the biggest threat.
With both sides hungry for European triumph, next week’s fixture is set to deliver intensity, tactical duels, and moments of brilliance. The spotlight will undoubtedly be on Martinelli to see whether he can overcome the attention and live up to expectations.
One thing’s clear — when two of Europe’s coaching heavyweights single out a player, it’s a signal for the football world to take notice.
