Winning is all that matters: Arteta

Mikel Arteta has come into his own at Arsenal.

The Gunners boss took over the club at the end of 2019 and in his short time he has made the Gunners a tough unit to beat.

The North London side is known for their beautiful football but now Arteta is trying imprint on them a new signature. The Gunners boss has made it clear from his coaching philosophy that more than any style of football, winning is what makes a team tick.

He said, “I’m here to win and my job is finding ways to do it.”

“Sometimes it’s what you want to do as a coach and sometimes it’s what you’re allowed to do with the levels of players and performance that the top teams can do against you.

“In the games against Liverpool, City and against Chelsea in the FA Cup final, we obviously had very long periods where we had to defend deeper than we would like to.

“So we have to find scenarios to prepare for that and if I propose something very difficult that would expose our team right now, I wouldn’t be acting in the best interests of the club or the players.

“We have to be able to adapt and the players we have available can change our game plan.

“Playing only one way doesn’t work in football anymore unless you are superior to the opponent all the time.”
