Flamini reveals Arsenal frustrations
Mathieu Flamini has opened up on his 'frustration' at watching Arsenal recently.
The Gunners suffered a poor 2020/21 campaign, with no trophies to their name, and an eighth-place finish in the Premier League table - meaning no European football next campaign.
Flamini, when speaking to the Evening Standard, has revealed that he still follows his old club - who he represented over two different spells - but has been annoyed by what he's seen.
“Obviously, you are happy when things go well and you’re a bit disappointed and frustrated when things don’t go well," he said.
“I have been following the season, the games, the ups and downs like every fan. I am not just part of the family; I am now also a fan because I have to live it from outside.
“There is frustration and I understand that. Myself, I am frustrated because once you are a fan, once you love the club, once you are part of the family, we all want it to be successful.
“Obviously, it hurts me when we are not in the Champions League, the Europa League and we are fighting for a place in the Premier League that should not be ours."
