Mikel Arteta, manager of Arsenal, is once again at the center of criticism for his tactics, this time accused of 'dark arts' in the match against Aston Villa. Specifically, he is accused of leaving his technical area to pressure an opposing player, influencing the flow of the game. Arteta's behavior sparked strong reactions on social media, with fans calling for referee intervention.
