The technician of Arsenal, Mikel Artetadismissed criticism about his behavior on the touchline with the coach of Newcastle United, Eddie Howeand match officials in Tuesday’s goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium.
Arteta repeatedly approached the fourth official and exchanged blows with Howe after referee Andrew Madley dismissed complaints from Arsenal players over a stoppage-time penalty in a match where the leaders of the Premier League he lost a point for the third time this season.
Former England captain and BBC pundit Alan Shearer said the Basque’s behavior was “disrespectful” but Arteta insists he has no reason to apologise. Arsenal were charged by the FA on Friday for failing to control their players.
“I try to do everything I can for this football club, defend it, promote it, play the passion that I think should be played.” “Every game is special and every coach acts very differently depending on the circumstances. And that situation cannot be taken out of context. That’s not fair. That’s me! Here and on the pitch, for the better and for for the worse” Arteta told reporters on Saturday. And he added: “I will always try to be better. If I have to change something, believe me, I will look in the mirror and I will change it very fast.”
