Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta expressed his happiness with his team’s performance, and its strong pursuit of winning the English Premier League title for the first time since the 2003-2004 season.
The Spanish coach said on the TNT Sports channel: “I congratulate my players for their performance and for making our fans happy, who were proud. It is a ‘big derby’, and we fully realize its value to the fans.”
Arteta added after the 5-0 win over Chelsea: “I am very happy with the team’s performance, and now we will rest and enjoy, then we look forward to facing Tottenham.”
Arsenal coach praised Martin Odegaard, saying that the Norwegian midfielder enjoys performing his duties as team leader.
Arteta said: “There is always a question about how to deal with things, play a different role and represent the club in front of everyone.”
He added: “Odegaard played his role in an amazing way.” He is a natural person and loved by everyone. He is not the type who tends to scream and have a loud voice. Rather, the way he raises his level I think is more than enough to convince everyone to follow in his footsteps.
