Martin Keown triumphs over Rio Ferdinand’s accusation of being a ‘bully’ due to his assertive request on behalf of Arsenal.

Pepe, an experienced defender, made a mistake that led to Arsenal’s first goal in the Champions League Round of 16 encounter on Tuesday night. This happened just after Martin Keown, a pundit for TNT Sports, advised Arsenal to make Pepe feel like retiring after the game.

Pepe, who is 41 years old, served as the captain of FC Porto during the second leg of their match against the Gunners. He and his teammates arrived at the Emirates Stadium with a 1-0 advantage in the overall score, having defeated Arsenal in Portugal last month.

Although Pepe possesses extensive experience, Keown supported Mikel Arteta’s dynamic and youthful team to relentlessly trouble the former player from Real Madrid. This amusingly led Rio Ferdinand to jokingly label his fellow commentator as “a bully”.

Keown stated before the match: “Pepe, who is 41 years old, needs to closely engage with him.” You must evaluate him. It is imperative to ascertain his desire to retire following this game. He has had a highly successful career.
