“I know everyone can not wait to attack, but football is like that and can not be understood without the pressure it gives every day. We all feel the responsibility of the results, but here I have started a project and we are working to get the fruits in the time frame of 2-3 years. Our market is focused on bringing together talented young players like Ramsdale, White, Odegaard, or other names we already have on the team and I believe that from season to season, we will rise. Patience is needed, so that the boys grow up calmly and prepare to take on more responsibilities”, declared Arteta.

On Sunday afternoon, the “gunners” will face Chelsea at the “Emirates Stadium” and Arteta knows well the strength of the opponent, but reveals that he has ready the plan to stop the striker Lukaku and to win the London derby.

“Chelsea are European champions and have recently been bolstered by a striker like Lukaku, who knows the English league well. However, we worked on the plan during the week to ‘isolate’ Lukaku and win the match with Chelsea, so I hope we do well,” said the 39-year-old.
