Arteta: Managing pressure is the key to championship
Mikel Arteta, head coach of London’s Arsenal football club, shared his thoughts on the criticism, pressure, and negative environment surrounding his team. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
When asked how to protect his players from various rumors, the coach emphasized that such situations should be accepted as normal. According to Arteta, in the English Premier League, such noise and pressure are an integral part of football.
According to the coach, the most important question in such an environment is whether the player wants to work under pressure or not. If they are not ready for it, playing on the big stage is not suitable for them.
Arteta advised both his team and fans to focus on internal order and discipline rather than external rumors. He believes that having great responsibility and pressure in big matches is natural.
Currently, the championship race in the English Premier League has entered an intense phase. Since Arsenal is leading the tournament table, every game holds significant importance.
Especially today, on February 22, before the away match against Tottenham, the team requires even more attention. Such derbies test not only the football skills but also the mental preparedness of Arteta’s players.
In these games, the coach teaches players not to avoid pressure but rather to manage it correctly. Arteta’s views indicate that Arsenal is striving to overcome not only on-field opponents but also internal conflicts and external pressures to achieve the championship.
The coach chooses not to avoid the noise but to respond to it properly. In his opinion, doing the job correctly on the field is enough, and the results will show the rest.
