Richards Highlights Arsenal's Team Effort
"It is interesting watching Arsenal, because we talk about them every week, and it is the same old story isn't it?" said Richards, an Arsenal fan and former Manchester City defender, on The Rest is Football podcast. "They keep a clean sheet and deny opportunities, they work really hard and I don't like singling out just one player, because I feel like it is a team effort and I have to give Mikel Arteta credit for building that. It looked like it was coming, couldn't quite get over the line, now it looks like it is back."
Richards also emphasized Rice's rise, stating:
"But I have to identify Declan Rice. Declan Rice has taken his game to the next level, where you are talking about him being one of the best in world football."
