Mikel Arteta selesa di Arsenal
Pemain berbangsa Sepanyol yang menandatangani kontrak dengan Gunners pada hari terakhir tempoh perpindahan daripada Everton terus menggalas tanggungjawab berat untuk memastikan Arsenal bangkit dari masalah awal musim.
Kehadirannya bersama Andre Santos, Per Mertesacker, Ju Young Park, Yossi Benayoun berjaya merubah prestasi Arsenal daripada pasukan yang tiada harapan dan kini kembali menjadi pasukan yang digeruni sehinggakan Chelsea juga dibelasah di Jambatan Stamford 5-3.
Arteta, 29 mendedahkan:
"I have not had a lot of time to settle.
"As soon as I came here there was a pressure and we needed to get results.
"It has not been an easy time but we have got those results in the last two months."Minggu lepas Arsenal berjaya menewaskan WBA dengan mudah dan Arteta menggegar gawang WBA untuk gol ke 3 The Gunners.
Tetapi kemenangan clean sheet yang dikatakan oleh Arteta telah memberikan kegembiraan dan kepuasan. Katanya lagi:
"We have been trying to get everything tight and be more solid.
"I like to get forward, have freedom and I like to score goals.
"I want to participate more on the attacking side so I did that and I'm pleased.
"But now we are on a run, we are keeping it together and getting clean sheets. That's important. I am pleased that we won.
"We have a break now and it leaves you with a really bad sensation if you don't win before one of those.
"We have 15 days to work with the players and we need to come back very strong.
"We have to win every game because we are catching up and it is not one or two clubs chasing the title like the old days.
"We know we have the talent and the desire in our team to get better."Mikel Arteta menjadi bukti jelas bahawa Prof. Wenger memang genius dalam menilai pemain dan kembali mendapatkan kepercayaan para penyokong tegar Arsenal.
Sewaktu tempoh merudum, terdapat penyokong Arsenal yang mahukan Prof. Wenger dipecat dan digantikan dengan pengurus lain. Kononnya Prof. Wenger dah hilang sengat dan gagal merangka strategi untuk Arsenal.
Dan hari ini, kebangkitan Arsenal dengan corak wengerball kembali lagi ke persada Emirates.
