Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhaes has voiced concerns about his former teammate, Bradley Ibrahim, who has encountered difficulties since leaving the Gunners. Despite his £25 million move to Hertha Berlin, Ibrahim has faced challenges adjusting to his new surroundings. Reports suggest a decline in his speed and physicality, raising doubts about his adaptation to the Bundesliga.
Ibrahim’s departure from Arsenal in January marked the beginning of a fresh start with Hertha Berlin, where he aimed to secure more playing time. However, the 18-year-old midfielder has faced hurdles in acclimating to the tactics and demands of manager Pol Dardai.
Expectations were high for Ibrahim’s seamless integration into Hertha Berlin’s squad, but criticisms have arisen regarding his playing style. Concerns have been raised about his tendency for excessive ball possession and unnecessary tackles, along with doubts about his pace and physical attributes essential for success at the professional level.
Currently, Ibrahim finds himself relegated to Hertha Berlin’s U23 team, facing a critical juncture in his career. The pressure is on for him to address these deficiencies and compete for a spot in the first team. His situation parallels the struggles he faced at Arsenal, underscoring the importance of self-improvement in overcoming obstacles and realizing his potential in the footballing world.
