Arsenal faced a challenging match against Wolves but managed to secure all three points, maintaining their top position in the Premier League standings.
A meeting among the Arsenal players last summer culminated in a unanimous decision for Martin Odegaard to be named captain.
Following the disappointing match against Wolves, there has been discussion among some fans about a possible change in captaincy.
Despite the team struggling to a narrow 2-1 victory over the bottom-placed Wolves, relying on two own goals—one of which came in stoppage time—Odegaard only returned as a substitute after injury recovery.
Declan Rice’s reactions post-match ignited debates among some fans about the captaincy. He was seen visibly frustrated as he exited the pitch, indicating dissatisfaction with the performance.
Although Rice is part of the leadership group at Arsenal, this does not reflect poorly on Odegaard, who remains a crucial influence and continues to work diligently with his teammates to rectify mistakes.
After being appointed captain, coach Mikel Arteta highlighted Odegaard’s numerous qualities, emphasizing that true leadership does not require loudness, but rather respect and trust from his teammates.
