“It felt very good,” he told reporters following the game. To be honest, we feel a little conflicted because we aren’t champions. However, it was good to be back with the guys after all those months.”
Timber’s tone and body language in the mixed zone following the game conveyed a sense of relaxation and excitement. All of the responses, including the one regarding the title’s disappointment, were given with a smile.
Seeing Ben White depart for the Dutchman was intriguing. In the system, Timber began the season as a left-back, with Gabriel Magalhaes sitting on the bench and Thomas Partey employed as an unconventional right-back.
When asked by football.london if this is a sign of the club’s future direction, Timber was eager to avoid getting into specifics. Once more, he was just happy to be rejoining his teammates and playing.
“To be fair, at this point, now I am fit, I am happy if I can play,” he stated. It’s good to be there even only in shape. I’ll play wherever the coach wants to employ me.”
Since Timber has played all four positions in the back four throughout his career, no one in the Arsenal backline is safe, which is one of the main reasons the team was eager to get him into the lineup. Any position can benefit from a player with exceptional technical skill, defensive ability, and forward-thinking plays.
The crоwd’s respоnse wаs unique, аnd оn а dаy when there were mаny grоunds tо believe thаt the аtmоsphere wаs аt its peаk fоr the entire seаsоn, Timber’s nаme wаs cаlled bоth оn the bench аnd when he entered the gаme, аnd there wаs undоubtedly а huge cheer when he wаs intrоduced.
He exclaimed, “That was amazing.” That gave me a great feeling.
This year, the supporters showed me a lot of support, which was quite pleasant. Since everyone is aware that suffering an ACL damage is difficult, I’m grateful for that.
Arsenal will have another opportunity to challenge Manchester City in the upcoming season as they look to snap their 21-year Premier League title drought. “Just being out there with those guys is a big pleasure,” Timber stated. “I cannot wait for next season.”
