Speaking to the media ahead of the game against Crystal Palace, the Arsenal manager explained that Gabriel has developed into one of the best central defenders in the world. He also added that the Brazilian has a great mentality and a great attitude.
He is one of the main reasons why Arsenal are so good defensively. At the back, he has formed a strong partnership with William Saliba. On top of that, the Brazilian continues to perform exceptionally well. He was deadly for Arsenal in attacking set-pieces and added a new dimension to their attack.
Manager Mikel Arteta said of Gabriel: “If you want a defender who can play in both boxes. I really like Gabby. He’s one of the best centre-backs in the world. Gabby is unbelievable.”
Gabriel is at his peak.
The Brazilian defender is at the peak of his career and continues to perform at a high level. There is no doubt that he is one of the best defenders. It will be interesting to see if he can help Arsenal further develop and get over the line in the coming months.
They have come close to winning the league title in recent seasons and will aim to win it again this time.
Having a top-class player like Gabriel at their disposal is certainly an advantage for them. The Brazilian is currently in top form and it’s no wonder his manager considers him one of the best players in the world in this position.
