Granit was a capable captain of Arsenal FC from the year 2019. He was assigned as the captain in September.
He was a great leader for the team, and as a player as well, he was great.
But his actions made him unworthy of the position of captain of the club.
He was a person who couldn’t control his anger. He often misbehaved with the people around him out of his anger.
It was not the only thing he did in the club. It was fine until it was within the club, but he misbehaved with the fans as well.
Fans were just taking his name, but in anger, he said: “Fuck Off” to the players, which was something that couldn’t be considered.
He was sent to the council of the club for his behavior. He was then set off from his position of Captain.

He also talked about how difficult it was to go against Ronaldo because Ronaldo knew what he did and what he should do.
Granit also said that Ronaldo being 34 years at that time, was on a completely new level.
