Arteta Has Already Made A Big Difference At Arsenal - Aubameyang by herosport: 3:53pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
The Spaniard has only taken
charge of one game since
replacing Unai Emery, but he has
been praised by the Gunners
captain
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has
praised the early work done by
new Arsenal head coach Mikel
Arteta, believing the Spaniard is
just what the club requires as
they move in a "different
direction".
Arteta started his reign with a
1-1 draw away at Bournemouth
on December 26,
with Aubameyang scoring a
second-half equaliser to secure a
point.
His first home game sees Chelsea
visit the Emirates Stadium on
Sunday, the London derby a key
fixture for the Gunners as they
look to make up ground and get
back involved in the battle to
finish in the top four in the
Premier League.

In his programme
notes, Aubameyang revealed
how Arteta has
been "very rigorous and
demanding" during training
sessions as he aims to put his
imprint on the team – something
you could already see in their
performance against
Bournemouth.
"He's only been in charge for a
few days, but we've seen a big
difference already. We needed
someone who would come in
and shake the whole squad
up," Aubameyang wrote.
"We needed someone with new
ideas, with a new message and
someone who would take us in a
different direction. Mikel has
brought all of that. We needed a
fresh new start and something
different and we can feel it
already.
"He is very rigorous and
demanding on the training pitch.
It's all about details with him so
he talks a lot, repositions us,
explains a lot of little things.
"If you analyse our display
against Bournemouth closely,
you can see tactically the changes
that Mikel made, like the
positions of our two full-backs,
Mesut [Ozil] and I playing
between the lines behind Laca
[Alexandre Lacazette], Granit
[Xhaka]'s position as well in the
build-up play."
Arteta left his role as assistant to
Pep Guardiola at Manchester City
to return to Arsenal and has
quickly lifted spirits within the
club, according to Aubameyang.
"His message to the players was
clear and well received. It was
about attitude and commitment,"
the Gabon
international continued.
"He wants us to be at 200 per
cent all the time, to give
everything we have and leave it
all on the pitch. It's exciting for
us because it's so different to
everything we have done and
experimented with before.
"It is a new dawn and you can
feel how positive everyone is at
the club about it." |
