Every word from Arteta’s pre-West Ham presser | Press conference | News

24 hours before sending his team out to face West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, the Micel Arteta was in front of the media at the Soba Realty Training Center to talk about the game.

He talked about injuries and hammers under Graham Potter, as well as his response to the Champions League made us against PSV Endhovan.

Here is everything that he had to say:

Team news for Saturday:
No real news to be fair. Those who are long -term are not available, and the rest, no news.

If Ben is ready to start white:
He is ready to play. Whether to start or not, it is the decision that we will do tomorrow, but it is definitely available to be part of the group.

On being prepared against PSV in Champions League:
We have played against them, they are really a good team, we know that. They have experienced this and it will be very difficult as any other Champions League result that we can get or any team, so we know what we are facing. When you are at this level, every team is really good and when the time comes we will be ready for it.

If we defeat West Ham, then the interval is off five points:
We have to do our work and this is going to be a difficult against West Ham tomorrow. If we do this, we will watch that game on Sunday. 13 The game still has a lot to play and you can see how difficult it is for everyone to win a football match, so we need to live there.

If he sticks to Man City V Liverpool on Sunday:
I am clinging to tomorrow’s game. I am clinging to this and my full attention is only there.

If he can relax to see those games:
relax? No, especially when you are playing with these teams, you cannot clearly relax. I relax to watch games that do not interfere with our ability to win large trophies.

What experiences can we draw from the previous title race:
That margin is very small and everything matters. We had numbers that could win it in the race for any other Premier League title. We did not do this, so it shows you the level and its difficulty, but the fact that we have experienced that it really helps because we know what to do to do it.

If she has been given more notice about her situation by Mikel Merino:
No, not for him or other players, especially because I want the players, when they are on the pitch, they are feeling what they are doing and taking initiatives. I do not want the players to think this: ‘What will happen if I want to do some things tomorrow?’ So I did this.

If playing merino up front was an experiment that was paid:
If something that we have not done or have not tried in our career, then it is called an experiment, this is this. Finally, it is trying to fit the qualities that we have within the squad, within the players. We want to distribute and what the game needs and what the opposition needs, I will take it more in that aspect than the other, but will have to work after that. If not, this is not the right call.

If we have a youth ahead who can come through the first team:
We have some other players who now train with us. They have been in our system for some time, but they are very close and obviously we may have to use them. They also look ready, which is a good thing.

If injuries can be an opportunity for young players:
Yes, of course, and it can be any moment. I talked to them about it so that they were ready for it.

This game allows us to put more pressure on the liverpool:
I see an opportunity that we keep winning and keep traveling for the goal we want at the end of the season, which is to win it. This is the only thing that we can focus on.

If this title can be a big weekend in the race:
I do not like “IFS” in football or game. Let’s do what we have to do, and if “if” comes right, great, but let’s make sure what is in our hands, we do it.

If he feels that the speed is swinging in our way:
We need and this is a very important thing. When your energy and faith grows and the results are behind you, your performance is good and everyone is so. After that change in energy and faith, I think anything can happen.

If he is obsessed with winning the title:
I am obsessed with doing everything that I can do every single day to get it, this is my passion. I am very obsessed with the process of that one, it consumes my whole day! I guarantee you! But this is the process of how you reach there, natural results, I cannot control it.

If they have to adapt their team’s talk to avoid decency against West Ham:
I don’t think anyone is thinking in this way because we are very experienced in the Premier League and how difficult every opponent is. We have a history of what happened at home against him last year, so it is a very different feeling.

There was a gambling to put Mikel Merino in front:
Every time you play a player, you are betting on that player. What is a condition – I am ready for a certain amount to earn, but not much to earn very little! Finally, it is about putting players in positions and roles and is surrounded by players that we believe that it makes sense and it can work and they are comfortable there.

If Bukyo is Saka’s holiday:
He went to where he went, there is a question for him if he wants to answer it.

If we train with merino as a striker this week:
We trained the last few weeks to be fair with different players, and that is one of them, but also with other players because it is how you can finish the game, how do you start the game , If you rival then how you change is something different, and every three days we need different options.

On the confidence of mercy sterling:
It is on the next one, but mercy is so experienced and like many other players that we know what you did yesterday, whether it was really good or not, may be relevant for the next game or for the next action Is. He is fully focused, he took really good training again this week and he is ready to go again.

If he can make a big impact:
Yes, and he needs it because we really need it.

At the difference between starting and using merino as a sub:
We believed that it was right for that reference but then they made it right. It is very different to start a game, especially with the ability to play in different ways with very different behaviors within different structures against a team, which they can also use, and that is what we prepared for it. Is.

If Saka or Martinelly can return to the Champions League Games in March:
I am not sure, this is a question for doctors. Both of them are really developed well, perhaps ahead of the bouquet due to the limit of gabi martinelly injury, but then we are feeling like the next stages and last weeks, how the boys feel and what we are. Ready for.

What is happening with Taehiro Tomiyasu:
He is trying everything that he could try to avoid (surgery). We also did the same with the department. At some level it was not reacting and at the same time we needed it, so we decided among all parties that the best thing was that surgery was done again. Unfortunately it is going to keep him out again for a long period and it is very sad because he is a player who lives for the game. He is really eager to play and be consistent, and when he is at his level he is an incredible player for us.

What the club can do to support the club through this process:
We are constantly trying to do this, but as a foreign person you do not have your family and relatives, you are on your own for several months. Especially for him, his life is football. When you understand what he does during the day, it is just the preparation of the next day, to be in the best position. When injuries deny you that there is a possibility of playing and fulfilling the purpose you have in your career, it is very, very difficult and hope that he knows that we all know to help him here here Trying but it is difficult. He needs to go through those moments, and I have gone there, this is a very lonely process.

If the players have gained an understanding that they can win the league:
Yes, I don’t know if we have cured or flick a switch and said: ‘Okay, what is the opportunity to do something again?’ For teammates, separate or special for (moss), we have rebuilt for all the efforts that we have re -placed for so long, and whatever happened. To say this has again become active again: ‘Okay, let’s see if we can meet together and we have different players and different ways in the team in different ways. . ‘

If it seems different against Liverpool instead of the city:
We have been in different situations. Sometimes we become pioneers, sometimes at this stage we fall behind and then we jumped a little. Looks a little different every year. There is always ambition, hope, desire, energy because the award is so big.

If he talks to the players what Liverpool can do in the last title race compared to the city:
Because Man City has done it for six or seven years, it is different, but being fair (Liverpool) is very consistent and extraordinary that they are doing. But this is a long journey for everyone and we have to stay there.

If Sterling is struggling with confidence:
Hope not because we try to give it as much as possible. This is a question for him but we are all behind him, we all want the best for him. He is going to be really important so we need his best. We only need players with that mentality; Stay here and impress the team.

If the mercy feels happy in itself:
I look at a player who is so experienced knows that it is about next action, next action and next action. Also there is nothing to live. He is doing everything that he can possibly work.
