Mathieu Flamini has had a remarkable career at Marseille, Arsenal and AC Milan, but what he did after his retirement was even bigger.
Flamini grew up from Marseille’s academy before breaking into the first team in the 2003/04 season and playing in the UEFA Cup final that season.
His form caught the eye of Arsene Wenger until Arsenal secured him with his first professional contract. The deal to move the team that makes Jose Aniko the boss of OM. At that time, he was extremely upset.
“It was a huge betrayal. He played me hard. It’s good for the money that he hasn’t signed a professional contract with us. His sporting excuse is that he fears less playing time. It made my view of him the same again.”
Aniko’s warning that Flamini would struggle in the Gunners’ first-team break was proven wrong. After adjusting for one season He became a staple for Arsenal in the 2005/06 season, making 49 appearances in all competitions. Leading the team to the final of the UEFA Champions League

Even so, he uses flexibility in playing position, working hard for the team. making him a versatile star He can play as a full-back, a side midfield. and his best position, central midfield It’s a great replacement for the real central duo Cesc Fabregas and Gilberto Silva.
There were many memorable moments of him, a long-range shot against Newcastle in January 2008 that was voted Arsenal’s all-time top 50 goalscorer, but then he parted ways.
Later, he chose to move to AC Milan, where he can still use the versatility to play in the position of right-back and midfield.
He helped Milan win the 2010/11 Scudetto before a serious knee injury plagued him. Missed the field almost the whole season in the following year.
After being released by Milan in 2013, he returned to training with Arsenal to stay fit before signing a permanent deal.
He was on the team that won the FA Championship. Two consecutive Cups in 2014 and 2015, despite being an unused substitute in those two games. As well as the 2005 final game he dropped out of the team as well.
Flamini left Arsenal again in 2016 to have an unbeaten record in home Premier League games for the club. After playing with Crystal Palace and Getafe, he decided to hang up his boots. Towards a second career path that looks like a big deal.

It can also be used to kill biodegradable weeds. including household items such as air fresheners, perfumes, as well as plastics and medicines.
Flamini’s business value is estimated at 20 million euros, almost no escape from Premier League footballers.
“Growing up from the coast I have seen the impact of plastic in the water, on the beaches since I was a child.” Flamini revealed to The Guardian in August 2020.
“It looks terrifying and makes you realize that if we don’t change something, the place we live in, we won’t be able to live anymore.
“I’m alert about everything, curious about everything. I always tell myself: ‘If I do something other than football, I’m going to do it.’ I want to do something about sustainability.”
His success in the business world led Flamini to return to Arsenal in November 2020, when supporters angered owner Stan Kronkie, leading to rumors that the former Gunners midfielder could not afford to leave the club. This may come in to take over his old club.
Despite his denial of the takeover at the time, Flamini has revealed his interest in returning to football in the future.

Flamini appears to be returning to football in the future – as he continues to do his part to give us all the future to look forward to.
