Arsenal player Bukayo Saka reveals all that Arteta has taught him already.
With Arteta in charge, Saka has been in the starting XI for the last two games and has been playing as a left back – in both games of Bournemouth which ended as a draw and Chelsea, which ended with a defeat and a score of 1-2.
Even though being a left-back isn’t familiar territory for him, Saka admitted that Arteta taught him to pass the ball and play in that position.
“He’s someone who understands the players, understands the club and all the ideas that he’s bringing in,” Saka told Arsenal. “He has a clear strategy of how he wants us to play and we’re just really excited to work with him.
“He’s teaching us little things that we didn’t know before and just bringing in his own strategies, his own ways of playing. We can see that it’s going to work, we’re just looking forward to doing it.
“Maybe one thing that I’ve picked up straight away is that when nobody’s pressing you, you don’t need to pass the ball. What you can do is just get the ball, drive the ball forward a bit and wait for someone to come to you, commit a player, then pass it.
