A lunar idea. According to The AthleticMikel Arteta secretly hired professional pickpockets. At the end of a meal organized with the Arsenal squad, the latter appeared to seize the phones and wallets of the players. Several of them were left with stolen valuables. The aim of the Spanish coach was to teach his players the importance of being ready and vigilant at all times.
A rather crazy idea that shows the importance taken by Arteta since his arrival on the London bench in 2019. In five years, he has won three trophies with Arsenal: an FA Cup (2020) and two Community Shields (2021 and 2024). He also allowed the residents of the Emirates Stadium to return to the Champions League last season. After finishing second in the Premier League over the last two seasons, the 42-year-old coach will try to finally put an end to the hegemony of Manchester City and his former mentor, Pep Guardiola. As for what is, for the moment, his last year of contract.
