Tomorrow, the Champions League is back for a very promising second act. After beating Girona on September 18 at the Parc des Princes (1-0), Paris Saint-Germain will this time have to clear the Arsenal obstacle (9 p.m.). Mikel Arteta, successful since he moved to the Gunners bench, will have the opportunity to measure himself against his compatriot Luis Enrique. A technician he holds in high esteem as he admitted this Monday late morning at a press conference. His words are relayed by Football London.
“He has only one watchword: honesty. He is direct. He looks you in the eye and tells you what he thinks. I think the players appreciate that. When someone can make you feel that way, it’s a good thing.” He then spoke about PSG. “They’re really tough. They dominate all phases of the game. They have very clear intentions. When they don’t have the ball, they want to get it straight back and they confront you. It’s Luis. Wherever he is, he plays the same way.”
Arteta does not rule out a bluff for Dembouz
But tomorrow evening, the French champions should appear without Ousmane Dembélé. Several French media have announced that the former Barça man was dismissed for disciplinary reasons by his coach for the coach against the Gunners. Obviously, this caused a lot of noise in England on the eve of the C1 match. Mikel Arteta was invited to speak on the subject. “We just heard the news. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but we will prepare for all eventualities.” The Spaniard therefore does not exclude any option. However, the Frenchman is not in the summoned group.
Whatever happens, he is ready for this five-star shock against Paris, a club he knows perfectly since he played there. Tomorrow evening, he hopes to make short work of it in front of the crowd at the Emirates Stadium. “Everyone is looking forward to this match. We missed it for several years. The group stage is a little different this season. The opponent we face is probably from the highest level of European football. It’s a great opportunity.” Paris and Luis Enrique have been warned, Mikel Arteta and his men are ready for tomorrow evening!
