only one match ruined this young player's bright future at the Emirates Stadium gendo's Fortune at Arsenal took a wrong turn dead end after a dispute with manager Etta in June 2020 following his taunts toward Brighton players during a Premier League match regarding their wages he was subsequently pushed down the pecking order and had to leave on loan to hether Berlin so was good fun to play Arsenal French midfielder with long hair yeah him he was talking like a lot how big of uh a club Arsenal is compared to Brighton how much money he's got uh that he's richer than us blah blah BL that's some nonsense the whole game I was so focused Matteo gendi Behavior reminds me of Wayne Rooney when he was still a young player at Manchester United if artetta would have been Wayne Rooney's manager at that time we talking possibly of maybe some lost pages in epl's history books because Wayne Rooney was then groomed and natured to be both the Red Devils and the Three Lions captain and comfortably makes top five of greatest Premier League players of all time I remember Ferguson would defend Wayne Rooney's Behavior publicly and continue to help him grow privately can we say maybe gendi deserved the same treatment maybe a father figure type of a coach yeah maybe yes or maybe it was never going to work but what I know is Arsenal fans around the world really adored Mato gwui and up to now he still has a soft spot in our hearts despite a successful spell in Germany he was unable to secure a return to Arsenal under arteta's management fans could look at his playing style and could see some elements of Vieira mixed with some Gilberto silver work rate and maybe a touch of Aaron Ramsey what I can confidently say is that the young man was promising always vocal and willing to receive the ball every moment but now the question is is it only that one match that saw him being handed the GPS to the exit door or there was something already going on between him and the management let's find out after Matteo gendo's 8 million pound move to the Gunners in 2018 he became unai emir's favorite Young Star giving him a run of more than 50 matches due to his dynamism directness and connection with the supporters with the midfielder hitting Peak form at the start of his second season when dozi looked to excel under unai Emory who played him regularly for 18 months he dazzled during home matches against Tottenham and Aston Villa during Emory's final few months in charge putting on quality assists and being a bright spark amid some poor results but Emory's sacking at the end of November 2019 started the wheels in motion of gendo's decline at the club mik aretta came in and gave the Frenchmen a chance an opportunity that was taken away from him at the end of a campaign that he had started so brightly indeed gwendy's last singular moment at Arsenal was him throttling bright and strike Neil Mop at the final whistle in a match where the seagulls man injured Arsenal goalkeeper burned Leno in an aerial challenge before scoring the winning goal in stoppage time the fans really loved that scene every team needs at least one player that can stand for his teammates on field oh yeah but aretta wasn't having it artetta dropped the young midfielder immediately and while the Arsenal manager refused to go into detail as to why he was dropped it was clear that attitude and discipline were at the center of dispute gendi had to leave the Emirates permanently after he fell out of favor with Arsenal manager Etta he plied his trade for a year with marsel and joined Lazio on loan on a one-year deal gendi hailed the Lao fans for their warmth and vowed to pay them back with interest Matteo gwui denied that his departure was caused by his Infamous spat with Neil Mae as the France midfielder admitted he didn't have the best relationship with Mikel areta journalists use this excuse to say that we had a bad relationship and that's why I stopped playing and left Arsenal gwend dozi told B in sports not at all it's a gesture like many on the pitch there's a lot of tension sometimes a lot of problems on the pitch in any case it has nothing to do with all that addressing his time under arteta the ex Gunner added it's true that I didn't have the best relationship with him beyond that I always tried to work always gave the maximum of myself in training and in matches I still played a few matches with him I still did Great Performances he preferred other players and I respect that decision that's why afterwards I also decided to leave because I was still young I needed playing time to continue to progress the most important when you're young is to play but what happened behind the scenes ateta called gendi in a meeting and asked him why he strangled M gendi explained that his desire was to protect his teammates after the injury of their goalkeeper Leno another incident was in Dubai he had a heated argument with his teammate Socrates the situation then escalated to the team hotel and Arta intervened and sided with Socrates this annoyed the youngster and he raised his voice accusing artetta of picking sides without having knowledge of both sides of the story I guess artetta was willing at some point to help the young man develop but seems like it was too much to bear the club and David Louise advised gendu to act professional and apologize for the Brighton incident of which to no one's surprise he refused used no no no no no no it's either he had to apologize and also get his attitude straight or navigate his way to the exit door and I guess we all know what he chose
