Arteta Admits Managing Arsenal Being The Toughest Time In His Career

Mikel Arteta has admitted that managing Arsenal is definitely the biggest challenge he has had to face.

Throughout his football career, right from his playing days to being Manchester City’s assistant manager, nothing has been more tough than his time with Arsenal.

When asked about this, Arteta replied: “Without a question of a doubt. I can write a book I think with the last six months. But as well I enjoy it a lot.

“The pressure that I put on myself is because I want the best.

“I know the standards of this club and for me it’s very difficult to accept certain things.

“I’m very much detailed into a lot of things. I know they have to be in order to work – get to know the place better, the players, the staff, and do my best to improve in every area.”

“If we are able to do the same next season against the top teams, and improve a little bit with the other ones, we are going to be right up there with the best teams,” he added.

“But it’s not as simple as that. One of the stats the guys just showed was about the difficulties that we have creating the chances is related to that as well.

“That’s something that we have to focus in order to improve and be more consistent in results against any opponents.”
