"It's personality and courage you can't teach" - Mikel Arteta on the Champions League debut of 15-year-old Max Doumane
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta shared his thoughts on the historic Champions League debut of 15-year-old Max Doumane in the match against Slavia Prague (3-0).
Details: Mikel Arteta was pleased with Max Doumane's debut, who became the youngest player ever to appear in the Champions League. The youngster came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute, replacing Leandro Trossard.
"What he did coming onto the pitch was incredible. He started taking players on, went for the dribble, and immediately won a foul. That's personality, that's courage—and you can't teach that," Arteta noted.
The coach emphasized the young talent's maturity:
"You can't explain that by age or by what's written in your passport. You either have it or you don't. And he does. He's ready to adapt, to try, to fight."
Reminder: Bukayo Saka rewrote Arsenal's history in the Champions League.
