Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that the club is not distracted by Manchester City’s good form. Recall that City moved to the top of the Premier League before the Gunners reclaimed number one spot hours later with a 1-0 win at Everton.
According to him, despite City increasing the pressure on Arsenal ahead of their clash with David Moyes’ Everton, it had no impact on his players.
Arteta added that his players will keep focusing on improving their performances and guaranteeing good results.
His words, “We are not looking at that. I know you guys do.
The only thing we can control is our own performance and results and we know how long it’s going to be and how tough is this league.
That’s it. Enjoy every day. Do your best and see what we’re going to get.”
On victory against Everton, “The [winning] margin should have been bigger, but that is what we have to do — learn, but keep winning.
We knew it would be a really tough match. In the second half we should have scored a second or third goal to be more relaxed. We didn’t do that and against this type of team it can be tense.
Every team brings different situations. They used the keeper to play long balls and the game becomes more chaotic and stretched and you have to dominate that game and we managed to do it.
You need to enjoy the process of winning and that’s going to be hard moments, difficult moments, great moments.
That’s all part of that intention and how close we are winning and that’s why we have to enjoy and take it game by game.”
WOW.
