Thursday, August 8, 2024 - Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta has been brutally mocked by football fans for hiring pickpockets to steal valuables from Arsenal players in an attempt to prepare them for the upcoming Premier League season.
According to The Athletic, Arteta secretly hired a team of
professional pickpockets tasked with taking phones and wallets during a dinner
with his first-team squad.
At the end of the meal, the Spaniard asked players to empty
their pockets. Several then realised they were missing valuable items.
The publication said the exercise was done to teach them the
importance of being alert at all times
It's unclear how the exercise went down with the Gunners
players that night but fans have reacted negatively to the lesson.
‘That’s how to build trust with your players, by robbing
them all,' wrote one fan on X, who accompanied their post with a laughing
emoji.
Another said: 'And they'll never trust him again.' A third
user on the platform said: 'Bro thinks pickpocketing will get prepare them to
win the league.'
'How does this correlate with football or winning the league
huh,' wondered another shocked user on X.
