Is THE PRESSURE of the title TOO MUCH? Mikel Arteta Post Match Press Conference West Ham 2-2 Arsenal

Are you ready for a telegraph question? Well I started very well again I dominated the game dominated the pitch and underlined beautiful goals and then we made a big mistake so let's stop playing for the same purpose to score the third and fourth and just seeing that we can play with them and to maintain their results and it seemed too easy and at that moment we give hope and credit to Western because they took it and did what they did very well, they started playing extremely direct from there he went a long shot from them to a corner and it cost us a lot coming out of that game and if you're not going to defend your box like you should and the two goals we conceded and then you have too many things

much

better for longer periods in the game and then there's another time you can go after 50 minutes three one up and probably the game is over and two minutes later you're considerable but this is part of football My concern It's after we tuned in that we made that big mistake and didn't understand what the game required at the time.

How do you explain the place and see whatever? It can be easy to do it from outside the page. You have to be a player. You have to feel it there and all we have to understand those emotions as well, but we need that ruthless mentality in that moment to go and kill a team where that team gives and you have to kill all 10 and today we haven't. he did it and when he doesn't do it in the Premier League last summer, the stage is going to turn around, they're going to have some momentum and then he has to defend, for example, the second goal

much

better now what we did yes no no you win the game look are you worried that this week's game and last week's games are different in terms of what happens it was very different but you have to accept that and that's the last thing we want in our brain it's to not have the confidence i said have the chance to kill the game don't do it and that's the next stage when you're there you have to do it and you have to play for the same purpose or more and no I didn't give them anything last week , it can happen but again you're saying what goes through every mind is probably different but we only knew it was half the time what we had to do and try to do better and it's true and great to mess around when they start playing That game, if they are efficient in those first two balls, is difficult because you have to fight and end the right to play, but when we did it, especially with the changes, then you have to have more composure to finish the game to reverse that change for sure because we are here to win and when you are able to play that level and then you draw your level up to here uh so fast the game is there you know when any opponent goes to be able to do it for sure we have to dig really deep there and find the solutions for the outcome of that I have no idea and I had no idea seven or 12 weeks ago what is going to happen.

In three weeks my biggest task is to go back and train very well and on Friday play at the same level as I will play the first 30 or 35 minutes against a team that is fighting for life or against Liverpool but doing a lot longer point and then kill the game Gary sorry forward how do you think this result fatigue wise no because if what we produced in the first second half against Liverpool was similar and today we put in bigger tackles in the second half than in the first half we were slower throughout what we did, uh, past the fatigue, i don't think the team is fatigued or looks fatigued and the best way to put it is just to convince them how good they are and when they do what they have to do and this is what we have to putting in our brains ok we do the last pair kaya any seems to turn after the penalty question why do you think it has such a big impact this time? because the team has been quite good in adverse situations because afterwards we couldn't control While Western was proposing and they considering goals away from it, you can see two or three goals away from home.

It is extremely difficult to win football games like we did and we have to combine. How we defended the boxes. Do you think the

press

ure? I would say yes if I see a team early on playing when I see a team playing with that flow that they don't have and a tuner for sure it's not the

press

ure we really misunderstood what the game required at the time and we finally got it. yes, he clearly wanted to before, didn't he? I don't know how you respond to that, the center, the team has to respond because probably if you do all three you're going to win the game and maybe you'll win the game by a bigger margin and then we're not arguing about what happened here so that you have to put everything in context if you are prepared to take responsibility for taking penalties, you have to know that in that package the chance of missing is one hundred percent assuming the scenario you are going to miss a penalty and you have to be able to react after that, although you can't be a sick penalty and Boca does it and they will go through it again for sure and you have to choose a player to do it it has to be then it was a crucial moment we missed it and this is football I haven't seen it and it's too late and I really don't want to use that as an excuse honestly that's fine yeah thanks thanks
