so i think saka's comments about the derby are pretty on point - its not just about football for him, it's about family pride & making his community proud 
. he's been through the ups & downs with arsenal and now gets to play against his former home team spurs which is bound to bring out some emotions 
. i'm curious to see how he handles the pressure of playing in front of his old fans - will it boost his confidence or affect his game? 
As a parent who's watched Bukayo Saka grow up from a young lad to an Arsenal star, it's amazing to see him thrive on the pitch. His passion and dedication are contagious, and I can imagine how intense it must be playing against his old team, Tottenham. 
My kids love watching him play, and they always get so hyped when we're watching Arsenal games together - it's a special bonding time for us! 
The fact that he's got that extra motivation from the rivalry makes me even more proud to see him doing what he loves. 
. Like, I've been following Arsenal since I was a kid too, and there's this special bond between fans that you can't quite explain. It's like, when Tottenham beats us, it feels like the whole city is hurt 
, but when we beat them, it's like everyone's celebrating . Saka's right, it's one of the most beautiful games out there... not just because of the skill and intensity on the pitch, but also because of the history and passion behind it 
. And yeah, I'm sure some Spurs fans might be skeptical about Saka's loyalty, but honestly, who can blame him for choosing his childhood club?
