Arteta reveals the thing that he was forced to do at Arsenal a few days ago

During the international break, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta found himself in a unique situation. With several of his players away on international duty, Arteta was forced to join training to keep himself involved in the game. Speaking to Sky Sports, Arteta revealed that it was a good workout for him and even joked that he lost some weight in the process.

“It was forced! It was good, it was a good workout, I lost some weight! I didn’t get injured as well. I did a few [sliding tackles], but I didn’t get anybody injured.” Arteta told Sky Sports.

Despite the circumstances, Arteta took the situation in stride and made the most of it. He actively participated in training sessions with the remaining players, even engaging in a few sliding tackles. Fortunately, he managed to avoid any injuries and expressed relief that he didn’t cause harm to anyone else either.

Arteta’s dedication to staying involved with the team during the international break highlights his commitment as a manager. It is crucial for managers to maintain a strong connection with their players, even when they are not physically present. By joining training sessions, Arteta ensured that he remained updated on the team’s progress and continued to provide guidance and support.

As Arsenal prepares to face Everton in their next match, Arteta’s involvement during the international break will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the team. His active participation in training sessions demonstrates his hands-on approach and sets an example for his players.

With Arteta at the helm, Arsenal fans can expect a focused and determined team ready to take on any challenges that come their way. The manager’s commitment to staying involved during the international break is a testament to his dedication to the club’s success. As Arsenal currently sits on 10 points after 4 league games in the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, Arteta’s focus is now on their upcoming match against Everton. The international break provided an opportunity for the players to represent their respective countries, but it also meant that Arteta had to find alternative ways to keep himself involved in the game.
