Arteta wanted to reflect on the recent win and speak about the difficulties his side is still facing.
Arteta’s struggles during this challenging time.
As per Goal, Arteta said the following: “Since I arrived here, first of all I had to analyze really well what was happening, what we can and cannot do. Obviously, results-wise, in the last few weeks we have all been suffering, I have been suffering. I feel very responsible for that. The worst feeling is because I want to do so well for this football club and at the moment we are in, I want to bring all my passion, the knowledge that I have, the right intentions to move as quickly as we possibly can as a football club.
“In order to do that we need to win football matches, to be stable and win some time. When I don’t, I feel like I am letting the club down and the people that work for us, and obviously our fans.”
