The focus game of the first round of the Premier League in the new season, Arsenal ushered in a good start 1-0 away. After the game, Arteta attended the press conference and talked about the team's performance, especially the Premier League debut of new player Yorke.
How important is the result of this game?
"We have achieved a very important victory when playing away from Manchester United in the first game of the new season. I am very happy when you feel that the team is creating something special through the addition of new players and hope to get a good start for the new season, and I am very happy to achieve this victory as a member of this team."
Does this fully demonstrate the team's determination and concentration for this season?
"Yes, we showed this in different ways today. I think there are two things we did very well today, one is set pieces execution, and the other is reacting to the mistakes. Some mistakes are inevitable, some are not very common. But the reaction of each player to it gives us a chance to win the game, otherwise, it is impossible. It all depends on our attitude in the competition and how eager we are to win."
You said the team showed something different in the game, and how important it is to show such things and win the game in a season when you are not in the best form?
"This certainly brings you motivation and confidence, and these two things are very important. Because you know that even if you don't meet your own standards in some ways, like today, we can still find ways to win. The season is 10 months long, and in different situations, the team has to find this resilience to do it. Of course, we still have a lot to improve, but we will adjust it soon, and it's a very good way to turn these into positive results." In the game, the team sometimes fails to pass the right ball or gets stolen while attacking, and can see you are very frustrated on the sidelines, so how can we make the right decisions and turn the offense into a good opportunity to score at these critical moments?
"As you can see, I think there are seven or eight opportunities, the ball can be passed, and we have the opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly. But we gave up the ball, which turned the game into a basketball game. We were facing a team with a very good finishing ability, with a very high skill level, which made the situation very difficult. So I want to emphasize the reaction to this mistake. If you can't deal with this mistake quickly and decisively, you will be in big trouble."
Talking about Yorke's Premier League debut performance
"In general, he did a good job, especially in the high pressing rhythm we demanded, which was especially important in the first hour of the game. However, he still needs time to adapt, which is where we need to focus on the next step. As for finishing ability, he didn't get much opportunity to show, but as I said before, at the end Before the first pass, the opponent's defense line had already retreated to a deep position, and we also managed to pass the ball to him and take advantage of his advantages. But overall, playing away from Manchester United and helping Arsenal win the game is a good start for his Premier League debut. "
Talk about scoring the winning goal, Calafiori
"He has the ability to change the atmosphere. When he walks into the room, he will change the atmosphere in the room, and also change the atmosphere of the team. He has a special aura and a sense of presence. In addition, he is a player who makes the opponent very unpredictable because he can play in different positions. Whether in his own penalty area, midfield or in the opponent's penalty area, the opponent will find it difficult to predict his next move. So, I am very satisfied with his performance. "
Once Arsenal played a strong team with a poor record away, has he overcome this psychological barrier now?
"It was true that I've been here at the age of 18 and couldn't win here in my 22-year career. But now, when I walk into the locker room and think about winning the first game of the season, we're happy about it, which is a good sign."
