“I am totally convinced that he is mentally prepared and technically prepared to play tomorrow,” said Marcelino on Monday.<\/p>\n
“For sure he will be ready. We are very happy Thomas is with us for his football capacity, football ability and his presence as a human.”<\/p>\n
“He is a great player with a lot of experience. He has played for a lot of top clubs. We know he has a great level.”<\/p>\n
When Marcelino was asked if he had spoken to Partey about the hostility he could face from Tottenham fans, the Spaniard said he was focusing on the football.<\/p>\n
“We’re interpreting stuff about and talking about a player that could be totally innocent,” said Marcelino.<\/p>\n
“We’re playing a game of football tomorrow where the important thing is football. <\/p>\n
“This is where football was invented after all. Do you understand me? Thank you.”<\/p>\n
Partey joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in 2020 and played 167 times for the club, scoring nine goals.<\/p>\n
He has played four times for Villarreal this season, making one start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“I am totally convinced that he is mentally prepared and technically prepared to play tomorrow,” said Marcelino on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160915,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-160914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160914"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160914\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
