After Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Manchester United, coach Arteta talked about Yorke's performance and topics about this game in an interview.
How important this victory is for you
"It's a very important result, especially away against Manchester United in the first game of the season. When you feel that they are building something special with new players and want to start the new season in a good way, we can win the game, and I'm very happy about it."
Does this show the team's determination and focus for the whole season
"Yes, because today we showed this in different ways. I think one of the two things we did well is to use the fixed Points and then react to mistakes. Some mistakes are necessary, some are unusual. But the reaction of each player to these mistakes gives us a chance to win the game. Otherwise it is impossible, and that's how we compete and how eager we are to win. "
You say you showed different things, how important it is to be able to win in a season when it is not performed well. "It certainly gives us motivation and confidence, and these two things are very important. Because you know, even if the standards are not met in some ways, like today, we There are still times when you play out when you play out on the offense, you either miss the pass or not pick the right route, and I see you seem frustrated on the sidelines, and at those critical moments, what changes need to be made to make the offense translate into a great opportunity. As you can see , there were seven or eight times when the ball could be completely let go of the pass, but we threw it, and the game turned into a basketball game. It was very difficult to play basketball with a team that was extremely good at finishing. That's why I said to have a quick and keen reaction to the turnovers, and if you can't react quickly, you're in big trouble.
How did you say about Yorke today? It's his Premier League debut, how do you think he's doing? "He did a lot of great things, especially in our high pressure pressing rhythm, especially the previous hour. However, he spent too much time in some cases. This is where we need to keep working on him. As for the finishing ability, he didn't get much chance because we were supposed to pass the ball across the defense in previous actions, but he did a great job overall. Coming to Old Trafford and winning the first game was a good start. ”
About Calafiori, he scored the winning goal, what did he bring to you that other players might not have? How is he in the present situation? "He has the ability to change the energy, and when he enters the room, he changes the energy of the room, changes the energy of the team. He has a special aura and sense of existence. In addition, he is a player that opponents are hard to predict because he can move in different positions and plays a role in your penalty area, midfield, and opposing penalty area, so I am very satisfied with him.
In the past, Arsenal did not perform well in away games against the so-called "Six Big Big Leagues". We talked about the possible psychological barriers. Do you think this problem has been solved now? "Yes, it did. Before I came here, I haven't won here for 18 to 22 years. But now, I walked into the locker room and we won the game, which is a good sign."
