Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to say that he is happy that Dani Ceballos’ mistake didn’t cost the club vs Benfica. He recently revealed that he is pleased for Ceballos because he is a footballer who plays football like his life depends on it.
According to him, it would’ve been really mentally tough for the Spaniard if his mistake led to Arsenal’s exit, and he has players like Saka and Aubameyang to thank for the victory.
He added that Dani defends the club with all his heart and might like he wasn’t on loan, so he’ll cut him some slack.
His words, “I’m especially happy about Dani because he’s a player that lives this profession like the most important thing in his life, and when he made that mistake, if that would have cost the team, it would have been mentally really tough.”
“That’s when you need players in the team like the ones we have with Auba and Bukayo creating and KT [Kieran Tierney] scoring the goal to save him. Out of a difficult situation we created a really nice moment.”
“I’m especially happy for him because he really loves this game and he does everything in the right way to be as prepared as possible. You can see how he celebrates every single goal.”
“He doesn’t have a 10-year contract at the club, he’s on loan and still feels and defends this club in the best possible way. I think someone like him deserves good things to happen to him in football.”
