Ben White, who plays defense for Arsenal, really appreciates his teammate Bukayo Saka. He admires how Saka understands football so well.
White’s job is to defend on the right side, while Saka plays forward, running fast down the side of the field.
White says that Saka helps him with defense, and he does it very easily and smoothly.
White is part of a strong team led by their coach, Mikel Arteta. White can change and play different roles in defense, especially as a full-back.
He talked to Ben Foster, who used to be a goalkeeper for England, on Amazon Prime. White said, “If I have the ball, and it’s in a small area, be ready to pass it, but when it’s mine or Bukayo’s turn, you’re zooming!”
He added, “Bukayo does a lot of defending for me. It’s really amazing. He never leaves me alone to defend by myself, which is super helpful when I’m playing against a fast player like Rashford.”
