🗣️Mikel Arteta on some of the comments Gabriel Jesus has made since joining #Arsenal for Barcelona: "I am very surprised, to be fair. Especially because with Gabi Jesus I had an individual talk in the dressing room. I don’t know what words were said, it’s fine. The words that we used were all about gratitude.
“I don’t know, it’s OK. Sometimes I understand that when you have to deliver bad news, or news that people don’t expect, somebody has to be the bad cop. If I have to be, I have to be and I understand.
“What is important is normally what happens three months or six months later. When Trossard comes, he’s in the dressing room with all of us, the atmosphere and the relationship you have.
“Thank God so far that with all the players that left, at some point the relationship has been really good. I hope this is the same case."
