Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has apologised to Liam Rosenior after he complained that the Gunners’ coaches were entering his side’s half during their pre-match warm-ups. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is a manager who loves to respect the opponents, so he can only apologise to Liam Rosenior on behalf of his coaches for any infringement.
Arteta added that only hunger and commitment can guarantee a victory against a solid team like Sunderland.
His words, “I don’t know, it’s his opinion and obviously we respect everybody.
At any point, if one of the staff members went through that, we apologise and that’s it. It’s very common in football, especially with the keepers because they have to kick long balls and all that. So nothing there to comment.
As always, we’ve tried to prepare every weekend. Every opponent is different and bring very difficult challenges and we need to face them and we’ve been doing that for a lot of months now.
And that’s the thing that we have to continue to do and play with our hunger and commitment every single game. Because if we do that, we have a big chance to win our games.”
WOW.
