Former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has revealed that he cannot watch the current Arsenal team play due to the stress it causes him. Szczesny, who spent 11 years at Arsenal from 2006 to 2017, winning two FA Cups and the Premier League Golden Glove in 2014, left the club for Juventus seven years ago but still holds a special place in his heart for the Gunners.
Currently on international duty with Poland alongside current Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior, Szczesny expressed his emotional investment in the team. Kiwior shared that when he met Szczesny in Poland, the former goalkeeper asked him to win and revealed that he can’t watch Arsenal games because they make him too stressed.
Despite leaving Arsenal several years ago, it is clear that the club still holds a significant impact on Szczesny. His emotional attachment to the team is evident in his inability to watch their matches due to the stress it causes him.
On a positive note, Kiwior received praise from Arsenal legend Lee Dixon for his performance in the team’s last game, a 1-0 second-leg Champions League win over Porto. This recognition highlights Kiwior’s talent and contribution to the team.
Looking ahead, Arsenal will face Premier League title rivals Manchester City on March 31. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has described the upcoming match as a ‘final’, emphasizing its significance. With three days of preparation after the international break, both teams will be gearing up for what promises to be an intense and crucial match.
In conclusion, the stress caused by watching Arsenal play has prevented former goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny from observing their games. Despite leaving the club years ago, his emotional investment in Arsenal remains strong. Meanwhile, current Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior has received praise for his recent performance, showcasing his talent and potential. The upcoming match against Manchester City is expected to be a significant event in the Premier League title race, with both teams preparing for what could be a decisive battle.
