Al-Hilal Unleashes Martinelli: Six Goals in Six Games!
13 Nov
Summary
- Martinelli has scored six goals in six matches for Al-Hilal.
- Al-Hilal grants Martinelli attacking freedom, unlike Arsenal's approach.
- He plays primarily on the right wing for Al-Hilal, a tactical shift.
Gabriel Martinelli is making a significant impact in the Saudi Pro League, having scored an impressive six goals in six games for Al-Hilal. This prolific form, however, led to him missing a recent Brazil squad due to an injury sustained prior to the international break.
Al-Hilal's tactical setup appears to be key to Martinelli's resurgence. Unlike his previous role at Arsenal, he frequently operates from the right wing, a position that allows him greater attacking freedom. This versatility, combined with Al-Hilal's dynamic formation changes, enables Martinelli to exploit his offensive capabilities.
The club has reportedly recognized and utilized Martinelli's potential by giving him "free rein" in attack, a strategy that contrasts with Arsenal's less explosive attacking prioritization under Mikel Arteta. This environment has fostered his confidence and goal-scoring prowess, leading to a significant improvement in his output compared to his time in North London.
Despite no longer being an Arsenal player, the club's supporters, known as Gooners, are still rooting for Martinelli's continued success. His current form suggests Al-Hilal made a wise investment by leveraging his abilities in a way that has allowed him to "fly."
