Matteo Guendouzi Biography Facts – Career Buildup:

Back then, everyone in his home and Poissy neighbourhood enjoyed Guendouzi because he was a good kid with an innate and deep belief in himself.

Guendouzi’s desire to become a footballer came when he was a 5-year-old thanks to the club of his heart – Arsenal FC.

Did You Know?… Guendouzi grew up watching, with his father, the videos of Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, and others who made history in the year 2004 as they won the premier league title unbeaten.

Painful Career Start:

The next year, 2005, saw Mattéo Guendouzi’s parents taking their son for trials in the neighbouring PSG, which was a 29-minute drive away from their home.

He had a successful trial and got his career all set and running.

Early in his youth career, Matteo Guendouzi became someone who would train all day with nothing to show for it.

Despite the hard work, his effort on the field of play would go unrecognized.

This situation caused lots of frustration and fear for Guendouzi and his household, as they knew poor performance could result in him getting released from his youth club.

Unfortunately, Guendouzi allowed fear and insecurity to get the better of him. At the age of 14 in the year 2013, he was released from PSG on the grounds of underperformance.

New Life at Lorient:

Underneath Matteo Guendouzi’s fears existed a great opportunity somewhere in North-Western France.

That same year, he was released from PSG, which happened to be the time FC Lorient Academy had just opened for business.

Guendouzi tapped on this opportunity, quickly enrolled, and had a successful trial with Lorient. Happy him!!!

While at Lorient, he found the courage to kick off his fearless. This was coupled with hard work, more enthusiasm, and the natural ability to hold on to the thing he loves the most “football”.

Thanks to his performance, it took no time before Guendouzi’s teammates began comparing their fellow countrymen to Adrien Rabiot.

They praised him for being calm in possession and very effective at breaking up plays. Just like any other talented youngster, Guendouzi became the best player on every team.

This victory did not just vindicate him but earned him the nickname “David Luiz” as he was compared to the Brazilian.

After the tournament victory, Guendouzi was granted a promotion to Lorient’s first team. It was well-timed, as it happened on the day of his 18th birthday.

Matteo Guendouzi Biography – The Temper:

Guendouzi’s first-ever season for Lorient saw his team finishing in seventh place, which made him sad. This had a clash with his aspiration of playing in the French top division.

Guendouzi’s individual bravery on the pitch was not complemented by his teammates, who were comfortable remaining in the French second division.

It took no time before his temper arose, which led to a dispute with his manager, former French goalkeeper Mickael Landreau.

Their clash started during their game against opponents Valenciennes as Mickael Landreau got him withdrawn from his teammates before halftime.

The consequences of Guendouzi’s actions became huge. It led to him being frozen out of the squad for three months.

In turn, he responded to his coach’s decision by refusing to return back to the squad when called back. Guendouzi started missing games and decided he was not signing any new contract.

The Transfer and Rise to English Fame:

During his out-of-favour days, Matteo Guendouzi’s love for Arsenal got the ears of Arsenal’s management – far away from London.

During interviews, he alerted Arsenal scouts after pointing out the club as the only club that can allow him can grow as a player.

Did You Know?… Paris Saint-Germain wanted to buy back Guendouzi, whom they once released. Their former boy bluntly refused and insisted he wanted Arsenal.

All he wanted was a team closest to his heart and that he had always wanted to join since his childhood.

Seeing this amazing development, Unai Emery’s decision was to send scouts to assess the situation. They quickly accepted him, fast-tracked the transfer process, and won the race for his signature.

Not many teenagers who were doing well like him would have their pick at Arsenal, but Guendouzi is different!

All he wanted was a club that would not only nurture him but make him very happy.

Just after joining Arsenal, Guendouzi’s midfield creativity became appreciated more than that provided by Granit Xhaka.

This led to him winning the club’s Player of the Month award in the month of August 2018. Furthermore, a fallout with Mikel Arteta led to Matteo taking a loan move to OM. He found pleasure there, playing alongside the likes of Boubacar Kamara, Dimitri Payet, William Saliba, etc.

The rest, as they say, is now history.
