Declan Rice supports Noni Madueke to prove its ability at Arsenal. |
They made a petition to protest and sabotage the wall paintings outside the Emirates yard with the words “Arteta Out” and spread the hashtag #NOTOMADUEKE on social networks. The deep cause of the unstable achievement of the 23 -year -old player in the last two Chelsea shirts, when only had only 20 goals after 92 appearances.
However, Declan Rice – who has a close relationship with Madueke when both of them play the football in England, gave strong protection for players born in 2002.
“I really don't like it,” Rice shared about the negative reaction of the fans. He emphasized that he understood the determination and burning desire inside Madueke, a player who wanted to prove himself and show everyone his true value.
The Arsenal star also believes that Madueke “will shock a lot of people” and his desire to contribute is the quality that the team needs.
“I feel his desire. I talked to Noni and you will soon see how he shows this season. Noni wants to prove and show everyone his true ability.
He is ambitious, wants to play for Arsenal and that is the player we want. He will surprise many people and I am very eagerly waiting for him to appear. “
In the last season, Arsenal had difficulty piercing the teams with deep defense teams. So the ability to overcome Madueke's defender is considered a great addition to the squad, when they aim to win the title this season.
“When you were a attacker and the first thought in your mind was to overcome the opponent's defender, it was a great quality,” Rice talked about Madueke's ability.
“He will bring that to the squad, along with the other winger we have. In fact, last season we almost have no depth in any position.
“We have played half of the season with a lot of injuries, so now it can be alternately and competition in different arenas with different players will be very, very good. It is a key factor for us.”
The strong support from a pillar like Rice is a great motivation, helping Madueke reduce the pressure in the early days at the Emirates. Now, every eye will focus on the performance on the field, where this wing midfielder has the opportunity to prove himself, turning suspects into admiration, as expected from his teammates.
