Arsenal, Arteta exults: “It was difficult”

The Gunners manager praised the mental strength of his squad following the recent success against Tottenham, before addressing the imminent clash against Chelsea.

Arsenal does not intend to give up its throne. After conceding a draw against Wolverhampton (2-2) on Wednesday, the Gunners showed a real burst of pride during the London derby against Tottenham (4-1) this Saturday in the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta’s men are currently five points ahead of Manchester City, their runner-up. At a press conference, the Spanish coach did not fail to praise the performance of his team.

72 eventful hours

“I couldn’t be prouder or happier with what I saw on the field. Especially after what we’ve been through over the last 72 hours, because I think this particular match needs to be put into context. After what happened against Wolves, and the way we lost two points in the last action of the match, it was difficult. But that’s the beauty of this sport.”underlined Arteta.

Next Sunday, Arsenal will meet another neighbor, Chelsea, at the Emirates Stadium. A crucial meeting for the 28th day.
