🚨 Mikel Arteta on the strange things he does to Arsenal players during training:
🗣️ Mikel Arteta:
“Sometimes the players arrive at training and immediately know something is wrong. [laughs]
The food is late. The dressing room is too hot. The schedule changes.
Nobody tells them why.
They used to complain. Now they just look at me.
I want them to understand that football will not always give you perfect conditions.
Your flight can be delayed. The pitch can be different. The atmosphere can be hostile. Something can happen that you didn’t prepare for.
So I prefer to make those situations happen here first.
If they can stay calm when I make their morning uncomfortable, they can stay calm when 60,000 people are screaming at them.
I don’t want Arsenal to be comfortable. I want Arsenal to be ready.”
