""At the beginning, the focus was probably too much on the tactical aspect, and that means you overload them with information," he told TNT Sports. "How important is the emotional part? When you connect and understand how the player reacts better to your demands... that's when you touch the right button.""
"This term, Arsenal sit top of the pile heading into matchday 22, with a six-point lead over second-place Manchester City, while they are also top of the Champions League standings, and have the advantage in their EFL Cup semi-final."
""Be clear what you mean by the standards," he said. "Because standards, basics, habits, these can be very big words if they are not specific. "So, tell them exactly what you want from them. What is the standard? Is it just the hours, the standards you train with"
Mikel Arteta acknowledged that early in his Arsenal tenure he focused too heavily on tactical detail, overloading players with information and neglecting their emotional needs. He became Arsenal boss in December 2019 and led the club to FA Cup victory that season, then guided the team into regular title contention with three consecutive runner-up finishes. This season Arsenal lead the Premier League by six points at matchday 22, sit top of their Champions League group, and have an advantage in the EFL Cup semi-final. Arsenal have scored 14 set-piece goals excluding penalties, conceded only 14 goals overall, and Arteta emphasizes clear, specific standards and habits for players.
