🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Mikel Arteta has revealed that he DELIBERATELY created problems for his Arsenal players during pre-season to prepare them for unexpected situations during the season.
Arteta intentionally DELAYED meals and transport, changed travel routes, made the dressing room HOTTER and even reduced the number of massage tables available.
The idea was simple: put the players in uncomfortable situations during pre-season so they learn how to ADAPT instead of panicking or making excuses when something goes wrong before a real match.
“I try to create these situations in pre-season, so when they happen, we have already experienced them.”
🚨 Mikel Arteta when asked if he was surprised by Gabriel Jesus comments and Ian Wright’s words on Martinelli: “Very surprised”.
“With Gabriel I had an individual talk in the dressing room. The words that we used for each other, it was all about gratitude”.
