Gael Clichy The Ultimate Gael Clichy Fansite

Former Arsenal defender Gael Clichy has insisted that the Gunners' current manager Mikel Arteta can be like the club's former and greatest manager Arsene Wenger but raised the question of whether the Gunners will be willing to stick with him and give him enough time.

Arteta is currently enduring a mixed season coaching Arsenal and has suffered more than he has enjoyed this season on the hot seat. His Arsenal side are currently struggling and remain in mid-table after their stalemate against London rivals Crystal Palace at the Emirates stadium.
However, Clichy believes that if Arteta could be given enough time, he will turn things around entirely and will be ready to compete for titles in the nearest future as long as he is given the backing.

French defender Gael Clichy has disclosed the reason behind his exit from Arsenal almost a decade ago. Clichy broke into the Arsenal first team as a teenager and was part of the Gunners team that went through the Premier League season without a single defeat. The feat happened during the 2003/04 Premier League campaign as the Gunners won their third Premier League crown after the 1997/98 and 2001/02 title wins.

Clichy spent almost a decade at Arsenal before his exit from the club in 2011. He has given the reason for his departure in a chat withthe official podcast of Arsenal. He revealed why he made the decision to leave North London for Manchester City in the summer of 2011. According to the ex-France international, a change in philosophy at the club pushed him closer to the exit door. Gael Clichy said that Arsenal decided to shift their focus to British players.

Premier League side Arsenal had a long stretch of regular appearances in the Champions League under former coach Arsene Wenger. The Frenchman made a fad of always finishing in the Top Four even when the club experiment with youth didn’t win titles and things didn’t always go according to plan. Then with more competition in the league, Arsenal became a fixture in the Europa League.

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp and former Manchester United forward Michael Owen has lashed out on the French man for giving Manchester City’s advantage away to Wolves in a match that saw the Citizens beaten in front of their whole fans and in effect, put an end to their title challenge.

Some coaches make you a better player, others don’t stop there, they make you a better human. The difference between what Lionel Messi currently is and what he would have been like had he not grew up under Guardiola remains a guess. The Spaniard’s impact is however, not.

Gael Clichy currently plays for Turkish side Basaksehir and he say Guardiola remains one of the best coaches he’s ever worked despite spending only one year under the former Barcelona coach at Etihad.

According to the left back, the words: “your career is behind you now buy you have a duty, every day, every session, every behavior you have; young players are looking up to you and even if you don’t feel like a special player, you are somebody and those young players will look up to you and behave like you are behaving,” stuck with him.
