"He talks too much" – Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard picks worst teammate to be trapped in a lift with

Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard recently enjoyed a light-hearted and open interview, giving supporters a unique insight into the atmosphere in the dressing room at the Gunners. Famed for his cool head on the pitch and his intelligent footballing brain, Odegaard has shown his funnier side with this lighthearted Q&A. While the Norwegian skipper didn’t hold back, especially when it came to picking out who he’d least like to be stuck in a lift with, or naming his best pals at Arsenal, or his future assistant manager.Asked which of his teammates he’d least like to be stuck in a lift with, Odegaard faculty named poor old Oleksandr Zinchenko. “He speaks too much,” the Arsenal captain laughed, clearly in love with the Ukrainian left-back and coasting off his energy.To make things even more fun, Odegaard added that Zinchenko not only talks a lot, but he also talks fast. Even with the kidding, it’s clear they are the best of friends, the comment is more teasing than catty.The interview provided a fascinating insight into the characters that inhabit Mikel Arteta’s squad and also served as a timely reminder that, beyond all the tactics and congested fixtures list, there’s some serious lols and chemistry in the Arsenal changeroom.When Martin Odegaard was asked about his best friend at the club, he was quick to point out that he has a good relationship with most of the players, but Kai Havertz is the one. The two have forged a deep understanding, not just in Arsenal's midfield, but well beyond it.Indeed, when posed a hypothetical about which one player he would want as an assistant coach in 2050, Odegaard didn’t blink: Kai Havertz.It’s a measure of Odegaard’s respect for him — he was a Real Madrid player, too, and if he is here on loan, he is in London to serve as an equal, not a subordinate — and it’s a sign of just how settled Havertz has become at Arsenal since leaving Chelsea. Add a sense of humour, friendship, and forward-thinking to your Arsenal team culture, and Odegaard’s interview underlines the one gripping the soul of Arsenal this season.Also Read: English Premier League: Arsenal fight back to hold Liverpool; Newcastle inch closer to Champions League spot
