In an interview with Arsenal Media, Arteta stated, “Yes, I live it exactly the same as a Premier League game. I have the same feeling in my tummy, the same uncertainty and the same way to prepare and I’m going to be there closer to the game. I just want to win the game, for sure.”
This statement from Arteta shows his commitment and determination to win every game, regardless of the competition. It also reflects his strong mentality and focus on each match, as he approaches every game with the same level of intensity.
Arsenal’s recent game against Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium was a testament to their strong form, as they secured a 5-0 victory. This win has boosted their confidence going into the Carabao Cup clash against West Ham United.
