Clearly disappointed at his side’s heavy defeat by Manchester City, the Arsenal manager introduced himself, Mikel Arteta after the heavy 4-1 at “Etihad”.
The Spanish coach, after emphasizing that his team Pep Guardiola was excellent in the top-flight derby, highlighted the need for regrouping and then underlined that the Gunners should be proud of the fact that they are fighting for the Premier League title against an excellent team.
In detail what he said:
“We lost to a better team, that’s for sure. They were outstanding tonight. We never got close to our level and when you open the gap with City, you are punished. You have to win duels and we didn’t, we were punished and we could have been punished more.
We couldn’t control the situation. It’s a difficult night because of the way we lost. We should, however, stand up and look at the bigger picture.
The fact that we are standing next to this team and playing against them is amazing. We are not going to surrender. There are still five matches and anything can happen.
I’ve been here 20 years and I’ve seen a lot, you have to believe. We have to accept that we lost against an excellent team”.
