After the match Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said ,”This is what all the coaches want and they understand what we want to do and they can do it at a certain speed as well, but then it gets more complex because you need the right timing, the right technique, the right quality, the right decision making, but you could see today there were moments that when it clicks everybody is on the same page and they all look for the same things, it’s very important”
💬 "I think the way he understands the game, what we want, the confidence that he transmits to the rest of the players in the team is crucial."
