Arteta, on recent dismissals: ”We will play without the ball”

Date:

He Arsenal He is now focused on this Wednesday’s EFL Cup match (8:45 pm) against Bolton. Although he is still inevitably hungover from the hectic duel he played on Sunday (2-2) against City of Manchester. Both physically and mentally.

On the physical side, Mikel Arteta confirmed in a press conference that there are some players suffering from physical problems, but did not specify whether they will be available for the weekend or not. He did say that “we need to rotate and there are players like Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly who have seen an opportunity and are eager to grab it with both hands.”

As for all the controversy generated by Trossard’s dismissal for moving the ball, which parallels Rice a few weeks ago that cost him three points at the Emirates against Brighton, he gets the irony about whether he asked to his players not to move the ball. ”Yes. I told them not to touch it. In fact, from now on we will play without a ball.”

In addition, he gave arguments why he proposed an ultra-defensive game in the second half by staying at 10: “Well, we have to play the game we have to play,” said Arteta. “We couldn’t do the first 15 minutes. They played 30 seconds with 10 men. Look what they did. They did normal.”
