Kieran Tierney has delivered his verdict on Arteta’s one-on-one training sessions, from his early meetings with the Gunners boss.
And so far, Tierney has declared it to be rather “impressive.” He finds Arteta’s approach to teaching very specific to what he wants in the next game – and somehow Arteta knows what might happen in an upcoming game.
“I’ve seen all his video meetings, I’ve been in the meetings together as a team,” Tierney said on his Twiiter post. “Before the games, after the games, and just his analysis is amazing.
“In Dubai for the winter break, I was doing some one-to-one work with him, and that’s when I realised ‘this is brilliant’.
“Just to me like, he knows what’s going to happen in a game and how it’s going to happen. What you should do, where you’re going to get pressed from and where your options should be.
“You should know where the left mid’s going to be, the centre-mid, so you can just play in sync. Everybody’s one brain and I think that’s perfect.”
It seems as though Arteta’s brain works very analytically – calculating each and every possible move. But will that translate on to the pitch? It’s a question that can be answered only after football resumes.
