BREAKING NEWS: Thomas Frank Heaps Praise on Arsenal Star After Masterclass Performance.
In the aftermath of a fiercely contested match between Brentford and Arsenal, Bees boss Thomas Frank couldn’t hold back his admiration for one Gunners standout — and surprisingly, it wasn’t Declan Rice or Bukayo Saka.
“Today, I truly realized he’s a monster on the pitch. No wonder Ancelotti called him that last week,” Frank said. “Players like him are extremely rare. If not for one key factor, they could’ve beaten us.”
The player in question? Arsenal’s electric midfielder Martin Ødegaard, who delivered a sensational Man of the Match performance that left fans and pundits alike in awe. From orchestrating Arsenal’s attacking rhythm to relentlessly pressing off the ball, Ødegaard was everywhere — a true midfield general.
Last week, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti also sang the praises of the former Los Blancos talent, labeling him “one of the most intelligent players in world football right now.” Ødegaard’s blend of vision, composure, and leadership has made him indispensable to Mikel Arteta’s side this season.
Against Brentford, he showcased it all — splitting defenses with surgical passes, dictating tempo, and showing an elite understanding of space and timing. It’s no surprise Frank took time post-match to acknowledge his brilliance.
“What he sees on the pitch, the way he moves and directs others — it’s like he’s playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers,” Frank added. “He’s not just talented; he’s mentally a step ahead.”
Ødegaard may not always steal headlines like Saka or score wonder goals like Rice, but make no mistake: he’s the engine behind Arsenal’s title push. With performances like this, it’s easy to see why even Europe’s elite managers can’t stop singing
his praises.
