The great Robert Pires

The invincible Arsenal squad from the decade of the 2000s had some excellent stars. Currently, it is possible to visit so.1xbet.com – famous online betting company that offers wagering chances on the Gunners.

There were many excellent players that were part of that squad. Names like Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires and many others were impressing the world on every match day.

However, Pires’ career also took him to many other countries around the world. He had some spells in Spain, his native France and even India. On the famous online betting company 1xBet fans can place their wagers on all these major European football competitions.

Becoming an Arsenal legend

Pires played professionally between 1993 and 2015. He spent the first seven years of his career in French football, playing for Metz and Marseille. It is possible to 1xBet download now for iPhone and Android mobile gadgets, and start wagering on the excellent French Ligue 1.

In 2000, an important chapter in Pires’ career took place. In that year, Arsène Wenger approached him in order to convince him to join Arsenal. That’s exactly what he did. It was reported that Real Madrid and Juventus were also interested in the excellent French player.

However, Pires’ first years in Arsenal were anything but easy. He seemed to struggle with the high physical demands of English football. However, he quickly started to adapt himself and become one of the key players in Arsène Wenger’s team.

In the 2003-04 season Pires would become a key member of the “Invincibles” Arsenal team. This was the season of the English Premier League won by Arsenal completely unbeaten. This consolidated his legend. Fans can now download the 1xBet app, and from there, they can wager on all the English Premier League matches from smartphones and tablets.

Life after Arsenal

Pires left Arsenal to join Villarreal in 2006. The http://www.so.1xbet.com/line/ offers its members the chance to wager on all the matches of Villarreal and the rest of Spanish football.

He spent four seasons in total playing for the Spanish team. After that, he went to Aston Villa and finally to FC Goa.

During his career, Pires was also a very important player of the French national football team. He played on some high-profile competitions, such as:

  • the 1998 FIFA World Cup;
  • the Euro 2000;
  • the 2001 Confederations Cup;
  • and the Euro 2004.

Pires was perfectly fit for being selected for the 2006 FIFA World Cup as well. However, it seemed that he had an argument with then coach Raymond Domenech. That put an end to the international career of the excellent winger. The 1xBet website has wagering chances on the best players from France and from the rest of the world.
