The Gunners coach displayed unwavering optimism at a press conference, refusing to believe that the morale blow suffered during the defeat at the Etihad could compromise his team’s ambitions. Despite a series of irregular performances – only one victory in six matches in all competitions – the Spaniard remains convinced of the strength of character of his group.
“I believe in it today, I believed in it on Wednesday, and a week ago, because I see them every day and I know our level,” Arteta said. “But today, if (the players) needed to be more convinced, I think they are now. They were talking about it in the locker room. It’s a new championship now. They have one game in hand. We have a three-point lead and five games to play, so nothing is decided. We are not going to stop there and we will start again, that’s for sure. »
