Not surprised by the performance of the Sang et Or, Mikel Arteta paid tribute to his tormentors at the end of the meeting.
Very complimentary with the Sang et Or before the match, Mikel Arteta did not change his mind after the meeting. And for good reason. Despite Gabriel Jesus’ opener, Arsenal conceded their first defeat of the season on Tuesday against RC Lens (2-1).
And if he did not fail to deplore the lack of efficiency of his troops, who benefited from numerous opportunities, particularly in the second half, the Spanish technician praised the performance of the Lensois after the match.
“Congratulations to Lens, it’s a superb team. They were very well organized and managed to win the match. It was tight, he confided to the microphone of Canal+ Foot. I wasn’t surprised by Lens, I saw what they did last season, they have a great coach. We knew it was a superb team and that we would have a difficult match. »
