Believes his team dominated.
In the match against Manchester City, Arsenal narrowly avoided defeat in stoppage time thanks to Gabriel Martinelli. Despite this, Mikel Arteta remains confident in his approach.
Details: After the match, Sky Sports pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher criticized Arteta for his cautious team selection, leaving Eberechi Eze on the bench while starting Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, and Mikel Merino in midfield. Arteta defended his strategy, addressing the criticism about being too cautious in crucial games.
Quote: “Surprised? In football? Nothing surprises me. I don’t pay attention to these things, but if this is the main topic, I would be very surprised based on my experience and analysis of the game. It was unexpected to see Arsenal control the game for 96 minutes.
Because in Pep’s 17 years, this has never happened. If we are discussing dominance, how can you say you’re holding back against a team like that? Dominance and holding back are different concepts. However, I accept all feedback and am open to different views,” Arteta stated.
