I have shutdown the likes of Olise,Yamal and Even Dembele before but this particular Arsenal player have always been my nightmare, He’s so difficult to mark because of His versatility”, Chelsea star Cucurella reveals the ONE Arsenal player that is not easy to predict

 

 

“I’VE LOCKED DOWN OLISE, YAMAL, EVEN DEMBELE… BUT THIS ARSENAL STAR? HE’S A NIGHTMARE!”

 

BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea’s fiery full-back Marc Cucurella has finally admitted the ONE Arsenal attacker he hates facing – the only winger who consistently gives him sleepless nights and makes every 1v1 feel like a gamble.

 

 

 

Chelsea players rarely hand out compliments to their North London rivals, but Cucurella couldn’t hide the truth any longer. In a candid locker-room conversation that has now exploded across social media, the Spaniard confessed he’s dealt with the trickiest young forwards in world football – Michael Olise, Lamine Yamal, and even the unpredictable Ousmane Dembele – yet NONE of them haunt him like this Arsenal dynamo.

 

 

 

According to Cucurella, “This guy is impossible to predict. Go left, he punishes you. Show him right, he cooks you. Drop off, he shoots. Press high, he slips past you. I’ve never marked someone so versatile.”

 

 

 

And yes — he’s talking about Gabriel Martinelli, Arsenal’s live-wire winger who has turned Stamford Bridge defenders into memes more than once.

 

 

 

This revelation isn’t just flattery; it’s confirmation of what Arsenal fans have known for years. Martinelli’s style is chaos wrapped in pace, footwork, explosiveness, and pure arrogance on the ball. Defenders aren’t just trying to stop him — they’re gambling with their dignity.

 

 

 

Cucurella reportedly told teammates that Martinelli is the one opponent he cannot second-guess. Even elite analysts have labeled the Brazilian a “tactical shapeshifter” because he doesn’t attack in patterns — he attacks in waves, unpredictably, aggressively, and at full throttle.

 

 

 

Martinelli doesn’t give you a moment. He doesn’t give you rhythm. He doesn’t give you the same move twice. And Cucurella, who has played against the world’s best wingers, openly admitted that no one disrupts his defensive calculations like Arsenal’s No. 11.

 

 

 

Chelsea insiders say this admission has even prompted Cucurella to request extra video analysis sessions before the next derby, knowing that any hesitation, any misread, any wrong body angle against Martinelli can turn into a viral clip within seconds.

 

 

 

And with the next Arsenal vs Chelsea showdown looming, this revelation only fuels the fire:

 

One of the Premier League’s most relentless defenders versus one of its most unpredictable attackers.

 

 

 

Cucurella has shut down the stars.

 

But Martinelli?

 

He’s the one who keeps him humble — and the one Chelsea still fear.
