martinelli-arsenal

Arsenal made a statement when they brought in Gabriel Martinelli and Brazilian wonder-kid has enjoyed a successful start to life at the Emirates Stadium. He made his competitive Arsenal debut coming on as a late substitute in the Premier League opener against Newcastle United.

Martinelli stands one behind top-scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang –  becoming the club’s second-highest scorer in all competition this season with seven goals. The 18-year-old notched a double in a ten-goal Carabao Cup penalty defeat to Liverpool.

With seven goals in an Arsenal shirt in just over 400 minutes of football, Martinelli match Ronaldo Phenomenon’s record – a record that has not been beaten by any other Brazilian in his debut minutes in the top European leagues. He puts himself above the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Ronaldinho and Neymar

SUPEROU INÍCIO DE R10 E NEYMAR NA EUROPA 🚀⚽ ⠀⠀⠀ Gabriel Martinelli se sente em casa no Arsenal. O jovem de apenas 18 anos é um dos goleadores da equipe. Nesta quarta-feira (30), o ex-Ituano anotou dois gols no empate por 5 a 5 contra o Liverpool e fez jus à empolgação sobre o potencial novo artilheiro brasileiro na Europa: já são 7⃣ gols na temporada. Os sete gols nos primeiros 400 minutos de ação no continente simplesmente igualam o retrospecto de Ronaldo Fenômeno, por exemplo. Mas, mais que isso: o início avassalador ultrapassa nomes como Romário, Ronaldinho e Neymar. ⠀⠀⠀ A média impressiona, e os números brutos superam os apresentados pelo Ituano no Campeonato Paulista. Martinelli, que ganhou o prêmio de revelação do estadual, anotou seis gols e terminou como um dos vice-artilheiros do torneio. ⠀⠀⠀ Apenas o badalado Aubameyang, titular absoluto da equipe de Unai Emery, balançou mais as redes adversárias dentro nesta temporada (oito). ⠀⠀⠀ 📸: Arsenal

Not only he matched Ronaldo Phenomenon’s record of scoring seven goals in just 400 minutes of football by any Brazilian player but also equalled club legend Ian Wright’s record of scoring on each of his first four starts for the Gunners.

Arsenal fans will be hoping Martinelli would continue his exceptional form in the long run, and if he does so – I’m sorry, But Thierry Henry your record is not far away. 😛
