Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is happy that the team is accepting the change in the club’s mentality.

However, he also says that they need to feel like in the long-term to stay motivated and not just because Arsenal won a few big games.

“There are other areas that we have to improve a lot but if we are willing to do that throughout the game then we are going to give ourselves a big, big chance,” he said.

“We have big moments in every game where we have enough players to make a difference for us. The trick here is they are really enjoying doing that.  

Arteta understands that he can’t force players and constantly yell at them to get results – he wants to work with them – together.

“If they do it because we have to push them all the time to do it, for me it’s not the right way and we’re not going to accomplish it long time.  

“If they start to enjoy doing it together, feel proud of it, they can see the results and they can sense that unity and that togetherness then it’s powerful. Hopefully we can do that. 

“That takes some time and training as well and training is not one of the things we had the most since I arrived with the schedule for December, January, February and then with the lockdown.
