da cassino online： Unai Emery’s reign at Arsenal was a roller-coaster ride of emotions both on the pitch and off it. The Gunners missed out on Champions League qualification for another season once again thanks to a resounding Europa League final defeat to Chelsea, and have seen three different men take the armband in the space of a year following the sagas of both Laurent Koscielny and Granit Xhaka.
da betsul： So when the Spaniard’s departure was confirmed, there may have even been a sense of relief. After all, the run-up to his sacking saw the Gunners go on a quite embarrassing win-less streak of seven games. In essence, recently-appointed head coach Mikel Arteta has had to rip up a lot of what his predecessor had ingrained in the Arsenal squad, and build afresh.

But the one lasting Emery legacy Arteta must preserve, is his faith in the youngsters. For all the criticism he received from Arsenal fans online, there were plenty of young players at the club in particular who spoke glowingly of the kind of trust and faith the former PSG boss had placed in them.
You only have to look at the likes of Joe Willock who praised Emery after a 4-0 victory over Standard Liege for the impact that he had on his development as a player.
“It’s very exciting because we have a manager who wants to play youngsters. You just have to take every opportunity, try to work hard and try to make a difference. It’s so exciting at the moment.”
Or Bukayo Saka’s rather poignant message on social media following the Spaniard’s sacking, thanking him for giving him an opportunity and admitting he will “always be grateful”.
The young duo are just two of the prospects who really broke through during Emery’s reign, with Willock making 23 appearances and Saka featuring 15 times under the manager.

Arteta’s early games in charge have indicated he is keen on following Emery’s footsteps, with Reiss Nelson the real beneficiary, featuring in every single game that the former Manchester City coach has been on the touch-line.
His time at Arsenal may not have ended in glory, but Arteta’s predecessor left behind a legacy that the current head coach simply needs to continue.
Meanwhile, Arsenal fans discuss Unai Emery’s summer decision to stop this starlet from leaving.
