The RISE of Martin Odegaard 🔥

  • Опубликовано: 8 сен 2023
  • Martin Ødegaard was known by football fans the world over when he moved to Real Madrid aged 16 and was tipped as the next big thing. But he then just seemed to disappear off the radar before popping back up at Arsenal where he's been one of the best midfielders in the league. So how did he get so good? Was he always this good? Join me for a story on how this boy wonder joined such a prestigious team, flopped, then reinvented himself out of the limelight, eventually picking himself back up off the floor and coming back with a vengeance to finally fulfil some of his early promise.

    First time you watched him play for arsenal, it was clear that he had the potential to be 2nd best in the league behind KDB. He passed the eyes test with flying colours

      @Subsbench  10 месяцев назад +20

      I'm a neutral fan so I just say it as I see it. He's one of the best midfielders in the league and any team would be better off with him in it. Mad to think he still has a way to go to reach potential as he's still only 24 🤯

      true, you could see that he had the technical skills but not the physical. Many players failed the physical harshness of the EPL, but he has improved both since.

      You don’t have a clue at the same age KDB was ripping it up, as for ball skills KDB best in the world in his position MO nowhere near, when he regularly puts in 19/20 assists a season and score important goals against europes best he may be good enough but until then use your brain

    First of all he has Never EVER been a bad footballer and trust me its hard to say as a Swede but since he plays for Arsenal he gets a pass ;) He has been an amazing talent since day 1 its just that Zidane didnt like that Real signed him without him having a say in it and thats one of the reasons he never really got the chance in Real and when i heard that Arsenal was gunning for Martin i thought there is no way in hell we will be able to sign him but then hell froze over somehow and he signed and i have been stoked ever since.

      Martin Ødegaard has always been a really good player - his strength is the technique and pass fot , i think some of the reason he didnt succeed inn Real alsow is his sometimes anonymos when given defens tasks and a position in team playing 4-4-2 he is stronger defens now - still on the Norwegian national team this is visible and the poor defens on the national team do not give him the same space like in Arsenal - Martin is a fantastic player on a fantastic team with a coach in Arsenal use his best potensial - he is not so dominant and point giver on the Norwegian national team - so i fotball its werry often the team and the way the hole team and manager are using strength of the player and players relationship on the field - he is Amazing for Arsenal and not so Amazing results on the national team - sometimes to anonymos and its not his fult its the Norwegian Coach and players together specific the poor defending giving him to much defens tasks its some better now under Solbakken - still yet a way to go and Norwegian national team did not make the qualify for EUROPEAN CHAMPION Ship and with Ødegaard and Haaland on the same team it shows - 1) The team you play for and players strength used combined makes the best players 2) you cant pick a national team and One player is nothing if hes not used the right way and with team mates and trainer

Almost as if it was set up for Arsenal too so call bottle it, oh the drama it couldn't havve been written, or was it? Besides that sour point of mine Odegaard has been solid and is worthy of being Captain and thanks to your video Im suddenly aware his early football career, and it all makes a bit more sense, his calmness, ability, finishing, experience before his age, everything, very happy he joined the Gunners and hope he does become part of something special.

Personally speaking I was impressed with the narrative and I am aware it was scripted. I really do not like ad-libbing because only a few vloggers get it right (for example, Bhavss14, although deep down I believe he has a script but he delivers with absolute slickness, and loaded with material it's praiseworthy). The music at the start and for about 50%-60% smothers the narration. 90+ for text; 65% graphics; overall presentation 75%. You can do the math.

      Lee Gunner is part of a breed of armchair pundits who talk nonsense, the kind of person who knows nothing about football outside of his own club. Sorry 🤷‍♂️ I’d imagine a good proportion of the fanbase love Ødegaard and what he brings to the team
