It's wild how a 15 year old boy that was too scared to hold a speech infront of his family has turned into captain of the best Arsenal team in more than decade. I just love Martin
he's class on the pitch, he's calm when he talks
I smell Fabregas in him. A captain of that type..
Odie
@@traductionscultureen-arver2307 he actually presses. Fabs while great didnt even try to pressure a blade of grass.
@@theCranesUS different eras tho . They’re both fire
I just love how humble and down to earth he is and I hope to see Arsenal win the Premier league this year after twenty years of waiting.
Same here bro
18 years
@@iykeharrison9161 Thank you for the correction
Humble, yet 2:53 xD I'm sure he was tempered by his dad and others around him, but "I felt like I was more talented than the others" is not the most humble thought to have ^^
@@jarlhenrik playing for the first team at 13 and acknowledging that he was different to the others doesn't make him not humble
There were so much pressure on him to be THAT 18 years old wonderkid at Real Madrid. But maybe that is not his destiny, cause he is meant to be a 24 years old captain at the Arsenal and about to (hopefully) win the PL. Either way, my opinion on him is that he is a very smart, articulate, valiant and extremely talented young man. And i am sure this there are so much more we gonna see from him.
I Hope he comes back to Madrid
@@aymenl2423 I hope he retires at The Arsenal with a statue outside The Emirates.
Pressure makes diamonds 💎
He was 16 when he debuted for Real Madrid, mad to think about it
@@aymenl2423 Nah...I dont think so. From this vid, we can see from his body language he is uncomfortable when talking about madrid. Maybe if he goes back to spain, I think it will be Real Sociedad.
my captain !!! PLAYER OF THE YEAR incoming
SAKAAAAA is POTY but Odegaard is close
the best captain fucking ever😍😍😍
Still a bit surreal as a Norwegian Gunner, that the captain is Ødegaard. Been following Arsenal since the late 90s and never imagined a Norwegian would be leading the charge for a team like this, fighting for silverware. Really proud of him, so humble and down to earth, yet such a strong heart and technically he's outstanding. His dad is also the manager of my home team, and saved them from relegation at the last minute the previous season in the Norwegian League which is a bit mad.
never say never as we say , Fantastic Athlete and player
Gunner Viking Odegaard
I've been a fan since the 90's and Odegaard is one of the best players I've ever seen in an Arsenal shirt, a worthy captain
Same here. Gunner from Norway since 90 and never expected a Norwegian doing this well. Also really Great to see Arsenal the way they are playing this season. Didnt expect this 2 years ago at all.
I was in Stavanger years ago and surprised to see so many Arsenal fans, the family I stayed with were also Arsenal & Man U fans, maybe its a red shirt thing 😂 🇳🇴
What a player, what a captain, what a person ❤️
I am so glad you found arsenal, we love you Martin. Best midfielder in the world.

God, please let this man lift the Premier League trophy in May 🙏🙏🙏
Hope so 🤩
Never imagined he’d be flourishing at Arsenal. We all thought he could be amongst the worlds best but for it to happen with Arsenal is just fantastic.
“If you said to me when I was 10 years old that in 2024 you’re gonna play for Arsenal and you’re gonna be captain there I would die for this”
He fits this club so well.
One thing Martin and Gabi Martinelli have in common is this: They found home in Arsenal after years of uncertainty. You can feel the love from Martin.
This guy will end up a legend at Arsenal. Will win us the league and the champions league at some point
I genuinely believe we will🥹🥹
I genuinely believe we will concur the world with him it's just feeling you have when something amazing is about to happen
probably make a massive move away

champions league? steady on fella
A part of me (as an Arsenal fan) died the day Cesc (El Capitan) left us, when we most needed him.
That part lives again. Ø captain, my captain.
I haven't bought a player name kit since #4 Fabregas. I loved Cesc, and i felt the same way when El Capitan left. I kind of swore off player names after that just because i didn't want to make the connection to a player again who would just leave eventually.
Odegaard changed my mind this season. Reading his Player's Tribune and then watching this video changed it.
#8 LS alternate (pink) kit is ordered and on the way. O captain, my captain indeed.
COYG
@@Sqwintzie Nice one. I have the last year’s third kit with Ødegaard 8.
I was sad too to see Cesc leave. It was not his fault, I wish Arsenal and Arsene would push for couple of big transfers that time. Both RvP and Cesc were on their prime, we could have won 1-2 titles if we made the team just a bit stronger.
But now I have grown up and see it in a different angle too. I think he made the good decision leaving us that time and went on to win big things.
@@mahir8126 they couldn't that's why they trusted the likes of cesc and van persie, only to be stabbed in the back when the going got tough
You speak my heart out too bro
One of the most humble, kindest players that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting/interviewing. So excited for what Martin and this Arsenal squad can achieve 🫶🏾
Love your work with aftv. Much love ❤️
I never doubted this kid so glad Madrid let us keep him. THE ARSENAL ❤!!
I remember being in school, year 8 I think, when he signed. Everyone was talking about it, even some teachers. Never ever thought he'd find his way to Arsenal but I'm glad he did ❤️❤️🔴⚪
I think I speak for all the Arsenal fans, we are very lucky to have such a player and its pleasure to have him as our captain! Love you Martin! ❤
Best caption ever!
I'll wait until he wins something
@@cluckingbell1772 Nobody cares what u think 😂
@@cluckingbell1772 have you found you way onto another video involving Arsenal. You more obsessed with Arsenal’s than their own fans 🤣…are you sure you don’t support them 🤷♂️
@@cluckingbell1772 won't be a long wait.
Whoever is cutting onions needs to stop? Seriously love this guy to bits. Wanted him when we got linked to him when he was 15, because I was 13 and around the same age as him and I thought it would be awesome to have someone my age play for my club. I am soo happy he gooner now and our captain. We love you Martin ♥🤍. (happy that me pestering you and your family on Instagram paid off 🤣)
Best interview I've read in a long long time. My Captain has me believing. Let's keep pushing...one game at a time.
I wasnt really a gunner before, or even a true supporter of any other team then my little home town club. But that all changed when ødegaard joined arsenal. I had been following his whole career pretty closely before that, just loved his style.. so i started watching arsenal games because of him.
Pretty quickly i fell for the club and started believing in this rebuild process the gunners have been going through. All the young guns breaking through and the playstyle just makes spectating a joy and it makes it easy to be a fan. Watching this process reminded me what a great club this is and the beautiful football they used to play before. I also love the fact that this isnt a mercenary team built on dirty money, its a proper club, its proper club culture. I can support that!
So anyway, now im a gunner, i watch all the games.. and my favorite player is the captain. Been a fantastic fan experience and i just cant wait for the rest of the season.
COYG 👏👏👏👏😁
Wow... A great comment👏
Welcome my friend.
In my opinion, Martin is the best Captain we've had at The Arsenal since Patrick Viera....... he leads our club by example, he's an absolutely phenomenal Captain and a phenomenal playet.
Martin is class both on and off the pitch and I like the fact that he says he feels that our club is his home..... and the fact that we got him for about £30 million makes it even sweeter.
This lad is only going to get better and better and we'll have his best years.
Finally he's home
We're gonna see this man's Armpits in May!
Very rare to see such likeable & humble players. Arsenal seems to be full of them too.
Noticed that, too. Edu and Arteta must be great personalities. The team is not just a marvel to watch, but they're are sweet personalities
I wanna see ODEGOD lifting that trophy after 38 games. I need this
Liverpool supporter but since Odegaard came to Arsenal I've enjoyed them more and more. When Jesus arrived this year, he and Odegaard and Arteta took the rich Gunner culture to another level of integrity and passion and old fashioned pure joy for football.
With Man U back in the saddle, and Liverpool looking like their next generation is up to the task, have to say the future of the prem is looking very bright at the top. Hopefully Chelsea can start scoring goals and get their hat in the ring too .. as for Spurs, well. 7th looks great on them haha
im a united fan but i love odegaard, so much respect for him and his game, especially what he went through
Quality Player. Quality Captain. Quality Human Being.
Alexander Isak lifting him up 🥰
Funny how both of them were super hyped at a young age. Isak in Dortmund and Martin in Madrid. Then they both end up in Sociedad. To then both have a break through in the Prem this season. Pride of Scandinavia 😎
What a legend!
How beautiful Martin Ødegaard 😍❤️❤️ I wish you all the best and much success!
I remember the day when he signed for RM. I was like man it would be awesome for someone like him to be coached by Arsene. And I really did wish it! When he came on Loan I was so overjoyed. Mi Capitan! Hope you have the best years here with us.
thought the same
Me too, I was like holy cow that wonderkid is coming to us ! and I'm so happy he clicked with Artta so well !
good Eyes friend
Back then I actually thought he would come to arsenal because he looked arsenal through and through (to me)
He's a superstar, yet so humble and down to earth .
Gooner forever ❤️
We are so happy to have him here's to another 5 year's atleast.
I think I love him even more now 😭🔥
We should never take for granted what a special club Arsenal is. Almost every current and ex player realises in the end how lucky and supported they are
I had a place vacant in my heart after Fabregas left and now it's truly taken by Martin Odegaard.. Captain, leader and an amazing talent!
Martin was just a footballer looking for a home i am glad he found one in arsenal we love you Martin❤️
Love his work ethic, humility and intricate passes. My captain!!!
Never ever give up on yourself even when others think you’re not good enough. What a player he turned out to be, I knew he was different when I saw him in the second north London derby
Absolutely love this guy
Been following PL-football for 30 years, although never really supported one particular club. (Simply the love for the game has been enough)
As Norwegian, I must admit that I've paid extra attention to the clubs who had Norwegian players. One such highlight was Solskjær scoring the deciding goal in the CL-final for United.
But recently, over the last couple of seasons, with Ødegaard joing Gunners, then getting to see the inside of the club through the All or Nothing-documentary/reality, I must admit it has opened my eyes. Really a club to love. What a squad, what amazing football they play, and with an incredibly passionate manager in Arteta, who even comes across as a real great guy himself. A true decent human being and a leader. And stories about former iconic players, returning as managers for the very same club they made their legacy, always gets me.
I've been hoping The Gunners to take home the title this season, and while it looked so good, so long, it now seems a little too hard with City and their momentum...(and typically enough, a Norwegian striker tearing through record after record! 😏)
Still, this young Arsenal-squad are simply now leaving the starting blocks of something great. I don't think anyone TRULY expected them to be a contender for the premiership title this early anyway.
Within the next coming 3-4 years, I just know that they will have won something significant. Hopefully still with Ødegaard.
And maybe simultaneously that other blonde, slightly longer haired Viking could trade in his light blue shirt for a red and white one...? 😄 (I know, won't happen!)
But DAMN, it would be cool!
great comment
-Fellow Norwegian
Another layer to get to know him better, what a story, what a player.
My Captain.
Odegaard and Saka personify what Arsenal stand for. Creative, technical footballers and outspoken, kind personalities.
Wow, my man is top G after experiencing the difficulties he had. The wonder kid is playing with other wonder kids here in arsenal, saka, martinelly, smithrowe. Such Inspiration for Young Gunners 🔥
imagine being coached by Zidane and saying Arteta is on another level.... My captain
I feel Zidane was lucky to have a squad like that and not struggle like Arteta
@@kiranpandiyan159 How come the club was a shambles before Zidane was appointed then it became a shambles after Zidane left?
Imagine him going missing in most games and losing to Man City and Everton in a week?
@@kiranpandiyan159 zidane is that guy I dunno why it even surprised people he won like tho
@@cluckingbell1772haha you bellend. Imagine hating on a man that doesnt even know you
You can tell how shy he still is. He is always looking down/away or breaking eye contact, yet he clearly has those special qualities because he’s our captain, and the team absolutely respects him
Always wondered what would happen to him after he signed for Madrid, never ever thought he’d be at Arsenal wearing the armband
Thats mostly due to being Norwegian. I guarantee you he is not looking down or away when he is talking to teammates.
@@pedrov2604damn, Norway must be heaven for autistic people who are ruled out as inattentive elsewhere because they don't look at people in the eyes!
My captain❤
This is your Home. You are our Captain. We are happy and so blessed to have you with us. My captain.
My captain ❤ RM's loss, Arsenal's gain! COYG 🔴⚪️
i love the way he talk
he has deep thoughts, hearts and ability to express that well
i ll support his football career forever
I can really see Martin becoming an Arsenal legend, he seems so level headed and humble, he can be the Arsenal captain for the next decade.
What a MAN!! Every hard thing he has been through makes HIM strong. I respect HIM so much.
“Maybe it was ment to be”❤️
Absolute joy to watch play and grow as a person. Martin Odegaard you are truly one of a kind. May prosperity and victory come to you and Arsenal. Vamos❤❤❤
My favourite player ..along with martinelli, saka , esr etc 👌 this whole team is just too perfect
Lovely lovely young man, how lucky we are that he came to The Emirates . Keep smiling sweetheart x
I’m so grateful that Ødegaard plays for Arsenal honestly. Good luck for the rest of the season ❤
Wonderful player, wonderful human being. He’s wise beyond his years and it’s clear to see, why Arteta made him captain after such a short amount of time! Martin, we are so blessed to have you here🔴⚪️
I’m glad that Arsenal bought him, lets go till the end and win the league, our captain lifting the trophy. What a moment that will be for him 💪🏼👏🏼
I love how genuine Ødegaard is. I really hope he fulfils his potential at Arsenal and helps us win more trophies.
Honestly he’s such a humble great person , I hope he stays at our club for a while 🔴⚪️
Forever
This guy will go down as an Arsenal legend when he lifts the premier league later this year. Incredible player ❤️🔥
What a guy. He’s at the perfect club too ❤
Future Arsenal legend without a doubt.
That's my captain both National team and club, vi elsker deg Martin ❤️.
Why wasn't Norway in Qatar?
@@cluckingbell1772 Because they didn't qualify perhaps? They'll be in the next one.
@@jaydub2546 Oh right, like they've only qualified for the WC 3 times in their history...🤣
@@cluckingbell1772 Yes lol but they are not that bad now come on.
@@jaydub2546 They're below Wales and the Faroe Islands in the rankings ffs...klovnen Martin...
Absolutely love the hard work determination and mental fortitude that Martin has shown throughout his short yet very successful career so far. By far my #1 favorite player on the Arsenal Squad today
'.... his short yet very successful career so far'?
He's won fcuk all, not a carrot loooool...😂
Arsenals plastic fans, comedy gold..
@@cluckingbell1772 Been an Arsenal fan my whole life bud. being 18 at real madrid isnt successful??? Shit you must be hella unsuccessful then arent ya bud

Oh captain, my captain!
Thank you for choosing Arsenal, I knew it was the right move for all involved!
The best part is that this is just a beginning of your story with us! ☺
Captain Fantastic. Love him so much! He is just class. As class as It gets.
Martin Ødegaard is special!
Tears in my eyes , love this boy and this beautifull club ❤️
What a player! Became my favorite futbol player since he joined Arsenal on loan, love this guy
Hope to see him lift that premier league trophy this year🤞🏿🙏🏿
If United doesn't win the league, I hope Ødegaard will. Fantastic player and a great dude.
Massively love this guy as a footballer. So so talented! Glad we have him!
i love this lad
Awesome guy Odegaard is fantastic captain good looking out to you
I absolutely adore him. My captain ♥️
I Am So Glad That He Is At Arsenal. 👍🤩
You gotta love his character on and off the pitch. Real captain! Hope he continues to do well at Arsenal and make history with us in the years to come.
We love you, skip!
Thank you, Martin, for staying with us.
And i think i speak for all Arsenal fans, we love you here Martin! You are one of us 🙌❤️
as a swede living in Norway and a long time gooner, I really like this guy! Perfect fit for Arsenal
Soooooooo happy to have him at Arsenal!!! Captain of the team, future Arsenal legend!
Nothing short of a king, hope he never leaves us, he will be a legend
he is so mature with all of his journey, what a player.
Beautiful, he is the same age as me, same first name. I remember him getting all the headlines at 15, for some reason I always thought he is destined for Arsenal. And here we are, captain of the team. Amazing guy and player
so glad we got you Ø❤️🤍
what a journey! and he still 24 👏
Remember seeing him join Real Madrid as a youngster. So happy to see how far he's come. COYG!
You finally found a home . Arsenal loves you MO8❤️
not only do you make me proud to be an arsenal fan, but also proud to be a norwegian Martin!
We may be the same age but you definitely are way more mature and humble than i will ever be😂
COYG❤️
Boy wonder turned captain. COYG
As a fan we luv u Ode..bro🥳
We love you!! My captain ❤️❤️❤️
After reading the piece about him in the Athletic and reading this interview, I cannot fkn believe he plays for us. The number of clubs that wanted him, and the number of coaches that rated him, it still feels surreal that he's our captain. I feel like I'll wake up one day and Madrid's going to recall him or something xD
Love this man, hope he retires a legend here
My captain❤ Our captain ❤
martin, if you read this. I just wanna tell you that you very loved by everyone. let's make more story with arsenal.
now i know that Martin is not only a football player, but also a good person, a responsible young captain, a man who works hard enough to be talented and deserves to be seen and liked by more people
We all love you Martin❤ my captain 🫶
