Wayne Rooney, the legendary England striker, sees firsthand what the prestigious English club Arsenal has changed compared to before.
On 10 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Wayne Rooney, the legendary striker for the England national team "Three Lions" and Manchester United "Red Devils," clearly pointed out what "The Gunners" Arsenal under the leadership of Spanish coach Mikel Arteta have changed from before.
Wayne Rooney said, "If you look at Arsenal now, you will see they no longer try to impress viewers with beautiful football. They play with one goal: to score. They now focus on counterattacks, corners, and through passes that can reach the opponent’s goalkeeper as quickly as possible."
"It's not that they dislike beautiful football, but they tried that before and it didn’t bring them the success they wanted. That style led them to finish second three times in a row. Now, they play more straightforwardly, with greater focus and decisiveness."
