The Mirror talked about the growth of Arsenal's 15-year-old player Doman. In the Gunners' lineup, this youth training treasure was helped by three "mentors" Odgao, Saka and Rice.
Domann has not even taken the GCSE exam (UK Junior High School Diploma), but the teenage talent has played for Arsenal this season. He made a substitute against Liverpool and won a penalty against Leeds United at the end of the match.
To help Daoman continue to grow, the team hopes that veteran players can play a role, especially when the outside world pays great attention to the young man.
As Arsenal captain, Odge is one of the important figures in helping Daoman integrate into the first team. With his early career experience, Odgau taught Dowman valuable advice.
Odegao also attracted the attention of many European giant clubs as a teenager. He played for the Norwegian national team for the first time at the age of 15, and five months later he became a Real Madrid player. According to the London Evening Standard, Odge shared his experiences when he became famous at a young age and said he was willing to provide support at any time.
Rice praised Mann as "the best 15-year-old player in Britain", and he put the talented boy under his wings. Rice was surprised that Doman had to take into account his studies while pursuing his career dream, but he was impressed by Doman's performance.
Rice said: "I have never seen a 15-year-old kid so calmly in the first team. I told Doman on the way back to the preseason, "I can't imagine you have to go back to school to attend classes."
Entering the first team at the age of 15 did cause a lot of difficulties for Doman, partly because he couldn't even share a locker room with his adult teammates for the sake of protecting minors. Arteta explains how the club solves these problems, though.
He said: "We need to adjust his schedule, change his education, and maybe adjust the way he gets along with his family. Doman's diet, sleep plan, training load, and the amount of information, stress and exposure he has to bear will all be different."
Arteta has proved that he has a huge driving force in developing youth players, with Saka, Envanelli and Skeley all growing under Tasman's leadership.
Arteta also compared Doman's situation with Saka's first entry into the first team. At that time, Saka often became the focus of his opponents. Now Arteta and his team are looking at how to protect the rising star, isolating Dorman from excessive outside pressure and attention.
