“Which player wasn’t a disaster there?”

last monday, Corinthians have announced the signing of midfielder William. At 33, the player arrived at Timon from Arsenal, in England, where he was not very successful. For the player’s manager, the passage to the English club was not the athlete’s fault.

Kia “didn’t go (to Arsenal) for the money. He went for the project and the project wasn’t there. Any player who went to Arsenal recently and it wasn’t a disaster? Willian wasn’t the problem.” Joorabchian said in an interview with TalkSPORT.

Arsenal have had a poor start to the season so far. With three defeats at the start of the Premier League, the team is at the bottom of the competition. With just one goal and seven assists in his only club season, Willian was not in coach Mikel Arteta’s plans, and so he decided the best option was to accept Corinthians’ proposal and return to the club that launched him onto the sporting scene.

Willian arrives in Corinth with good spirits. The player played with Timon until mid-2007, when he moved to Shakthar Donetsk. After 14 years in football abroad, the midfielder He terminated his contract with Arsenal, which lasted another two years, and gave up his salary to return to Parque São Jorge.
