Wise Words For Ramsey + Under 18 Fixtures Out

Cardiff City vice-captain Riccardo Scimeca has urged new Arsenal signing Aaron Ramsey to be patient in the Premier League, and warned of the pressures and expectancy of performing in one of the greatest competitions in the world.

Scimeca enjoyed two seasons playing with the Welsh international, before Ramsey’s £5 million switch to the Gunners last month, and has first hand experience of the Premiership after playing most of his career in the top flight.

“Aaron will soon find that every pass he delivers will have to near perfect,”

“At the start, Aaron will find that he will have more time than usual, but he will have to do more with the pass that he delivers.” “One bad pass and the quality of play at that level can see you a goal down in seconds.”

The 33 year old also spoke about the huge differences ‘Rambo’ will face after making the transition from the Championship.

“Compared to the Championship, which seems to be 100 miles per hour, you get time on the ball in the Premier League.

“Once Aaron gets used to that difference he will settle down and improve to become an even better player than he is now. “He might have to be a bit patient to break through, but there is no doubt that he has got a special talent.”

Riccardo was then asked if he felt moving to Arsenal was the best option, as many believed he would be ending up with Sir Alex Ferguson at Man Utd. Like most who have had this question put to them, the answer was an empathetic yes.

“Personally I think he’s gone to the best club for his type of football – and that is a passing game,”

“Arsenal, in my opinion, are probably the best passing side and I definitely think Aaron has decided on the right team. “Timing is everything with the younger element and Arsenal will watch his every step.”

In other news, the full list of Under 18 Academy League fixtures have been published. Many of the participants will be Aaron’s age, but Ramsey himself is set for a first team role.

Steve Bould starts the defence of the group A title against Everton on August 23rd, before an away trip against newly promoted Wolves. You can see a full list of all the fixtures Here.
