Thomas Partey endured the evening to forget against the Reds at Emirates Stadium after returning early from Afcon duty.
A little about the topic
The Ghana international has apologized for the reckless red card he collected in the Carabao Cup semi-final defeat against Liverpool, with Thomas Partey briefly returning to domestic action. The 28-year-old rushed back off duty in the African Cup of Nations after seeing his country surprisingly eliminated from that competition in the group stage. Thomas Partey was named on Arteta’s bench as Arsenal took aim in Thursday’s big final but only lasted 16 minutes after his introduction as two yellow cards and subsequent reds were collected.
What did Thomas Partey say?
The Gunners suffered a 2-0 reversal against Liverpool which means more silverware has slipped out of reach and Thomas admits he needs to rein in his competitive instincts to become a leading man for club and country. Writing on the social media, Thomas Partey said that he is in charge of everything that happened and will take all the criticism, he should be smarter not to get called when already booked, but that’s his personality. Partey loves to fight for every ball. Thomas loves this club and loves his country, even though sometimes things don’t go the way he wanted, he would have kept working harder to make things right.
The Ghana international came back with the mentality to make himself available for the team to get to the final, but it didn’t happen as planned. Thomas will continue to give everything when he is on the field of play because this is his life and this is what he chose to do. According to Thomas Partey he is not happy with everything that happened yesterday and at Afcon, but he understands that only with hard work things will change, so Thomas will continue to work hard to change that.
