Recently, 18-year-old Arsenal teenager Envanelli was interviewed by The Athletic and talked about several issues this season.
Talking about the highest light moment of the season
Envanelli: "That goal against Manchester City. I know that as long as I get the ball, I can create a threat, thanks to Declan (Rice) who discovered me. That moment doesn't require thinking at all, it's purely an instinctive reaction. This shooting method has been engraved into DNA since I was practicing in the park. Years of experience on the right have naturally formed a muscle memory that cuts into the left foot."
Talking about coach Arteta
Envaneri: "Micker (Artetta) taught me so much. If you have seen him, you will know how focused he is. His words are always just right, and he is very clear about what he is talking about. He has indeed improved my game level, and it is like this in every aspect, not only on the tactical level, but also on the psychological level.
"On the personal level, he helped me a lot, he paid great attention to body language and personal image, and he instilled these ideas into me. In the past, maybe I was a little hunched when I walked or I was not sitting properly enough, and he would notice all these details. This made me more sensitive in my mind and helped me a lot. ”
Talk to play at the end of the season sharply reduced
Envaneli: "From frequent appearances to reduced playing time, this is very normal in the football world, so I didn't take it too seriously. I understand that Mikel (Arteta) will eventually need to make a decision, and this decision is not easy for him.
"Obviously he wanted everyone to play, but that was impossible. But I think that's part of football, and it's these moments that really determine your future development. I feel like I'm handling it well, and I'm in good shape right now."
On friendship with Skelly
Enwanelli: "My relationship and friendship with Miles are very important, we are so similar, yet so different. We think in the same way, but when we are outward, he may appear more outgoing, and I am more restrained, our Friendship is special. ”
Talk about position on the court
Envaneri: "You can see that I am a midfielder at heart, but as long as the coach needs me to play in a certain position, I will do my best. I don't mind the position arrangement, I can play for Arsenal's first team, and I am happy to be in any position where I am. In fact, I have played a few pseudo-Nines. I believe I can do whatever role the coach needs.
"I yearn to be an offensive player, influence the game, control the rhythm, and score goals in a positive way. This is my football philosophy. Of course, there are many aspects that need to be improved: defensive awareness, convergence cooperation, physical confrontation... These will become the key training content after the European Youth League, provided that we can win the championship as we wish. ”
Talking about the goal at the beginning of the season
Envaneri: "Before the start of each season, I can foresee the height I can reach at the end of the season, and this ability to visualize the goal has always been with me. Although the goal of 10 goals was not achieved, it was also close (9 goals). Now I just think about: What should I do next? What else needs to be done to achieve the ultimate goal? ”
