1
Good to see you.
2
Two big wins following the international break.
3
You must feel in a good place heading into Sunday.
4
Two very important wins, very good feeling about the games as well.
5
Preparing for a big match for Sunday.
6
M. White, Akai Saka and Martin Odegaard missed the trip to Spain in midweek.
7
Have they got any chance of featuring on Sunday?
8
If there is a chance,
9
it will be after tomorrow's session,
10
because they haven't done anything yet.
11
We will have more information tomorrow.
12
Just to check, Mikael Marino and Victor Jokrej picked up head injuries on Tuesday,
13
are they absolutely fine?
14
Yes, they are fine.
15
They will be available.
16
Will you have a new substitute on Tuesday?
17
Can we expect him to come straight back into the starting level on Sunday?
18
Let's see, obviously he's been carrying an injury,
19
he's done really well to be available for the last match,
20
and he's really pushing it,
21
so we'll decide tomorrow is the best start.
22
Today the club announced a number of changes at boardroom level,
23
Will that have any impact on what you do here on a day-to-day basis?
24
No, there have been quite a lot of changes since I arrived at the club.
25
First of all, obviously, Tim is leaving
26
and I would like to say a few words because he's been someone that I really enjoy working with.
27
I think he has a tremendous contribution for everything that we've done over the last few years.
28
Then on Rich, congratulations, obviously,
29
because it's a massive role to be the CEO of this football club
30
and then welcome to the new members of the board.
31
Hopefully they're going to make us better and help us and bring ideas and support and make this club much better.
32
It's ultimately a stance on Jo's decision.
33
They've been incredibly supportive, so we move on again.
34
Finally for me, it's still very early in the season,
35
but just how significant is this match in terms of the title race,
36
in terms of staying close to Liverpool and potentially building a gap to Manchester City?
37
It's about winning again and creating another good moment for us,
38
consistency, competing against one of the best teams in the world,
39
and good test for us to see our level as well.
40
Go to Nip from PLP.
41
Hi.
42
You know Mbgo Levanapuri better than all of us in this room.
43
How demanding do you think it's been for Pep to be at this level for so many years,
44
to be achieving what he achieved in so many countries?
45
And also, how much do you think he evolved as coaching and management in the last few years?
46
Well, yeah, the demands that he puts on himself,
47
the standards that he requires for everybody around him,
48
his will to win, to evolve, to improve.
49
You look around him, he wants to surrender about the best people.
50
For me, he's by far the best coach in the world,
51
I always said it, I have the pleasure to work with him and win a lot with him next to him.
52
So, yeah, it's always great to see him back.
53
Nolimand Dwecki, when you look at him in the summer,
54
what made you decide to recruit him from Chelsea,
55
and how do you think you and your coaching staff are getting such a wonderful version of him?
56
Yeah, well, because I was sure that he was a player with a talent
57
and quality that we didn't have in the squad,
58
a player with a level of threat and unpredictability that he was going to make us better.
59
The moment I picked up the phone,
60
I spoke to him and his dad and his agent,
61
the three of them gave me the impression that they were really willing to come,
62
that they saw something special here they wanted to be part of.
63
And then, yeah, you have to come here
64
and slowly start to get to know him and he needs to start to get to understand the team.
65
But I think so far the impact is having the team.
66
It's very, very positive.
67
And Martin, so we mainly how pleased are you with the way he settled here?
68
How would you describe the balance that Phil gives you and the partnership with Declan Royce as well?
69
Yes, another one that obviously coming from abroad is always very tricky,
70
especially with the man in this league and in that particular position
71
because you have so much responsibility in that role and you have to be aware of everything that we do.
72
That's such an intelligent boy.
73
A lot of presence, a lot of quality and a lot of courage to play football.
74
No goals conceded from open play
75
and Christian Mascara has been a key part of a young player coming in at summer signing.
76
Why do you think he has been so solid this season?
77
Well, first of all, because he's very good.
78
And I think credit to the scouting department,
79
Andrea, that they presented the opportunity to have him.
80
Again, no coincidence as a boy,
81
you know, someone extremely focused,
82
very determined, very clear that he wanted to come here and he wanted to come here to play and in his place.
83
I think what he's doing in that position so early, very impressive.
84
Just on why Saka and Odegaard set the decision after tomorrow's session,
85
have they trained already?
86
Or would that be their first session?
87
Because everything has been modified so far for him
88
and still a few things to clear and tomorrow we'll have more information whether they are part of the score,
89
or they have a chance to be part of the score or not.
90
You've spoken about the evolution of football and how the style is changing.
91
There are a lot more teams going more direct.
92
Are you expecting a different type of game than usual against Manchester City on Sunday?
93
There will be moments that has been in the past as well,
94
in the last few years,
95
and obviously they have certain different qualities,
96
especially in the back line,
97
and since they recruited Erling as well,
98
they always modified a few things because of the quality of individual, which is normal.
99
There is a tendency in football,
100
especially because there is a tendency in the way teams are defending that has certain implications to how teams react to that.
101
Ian, how are you?
102
Good, thank you.
103
Talking about the evolution of football,
104
it used to be seeing if you were on the subscatch
105
that maybe you'd done something wrong and the manager didn't like you.
106
We saw in mid-week your substitutes you brought on,
107
one year in the Champions League.
108
So, explain to me how the evolution has happened in terms of subs and how important they are to you this season.
109
If you look historically, the top teams,
110
the team that has won a lot,
111
the impact that the finisher had has always been really, really high.
112
You need that quality nowadays to unlock games and to do it consistently every three days.
113
It's even harder, more difficult.
114
That's what you need.
115
We are very lucky because we have players that can make that impact.
116
They certainly did that the other day and now we need consistency on that.
117
So when you name the team and you name themselves,
118
do you go up to them and say,
119
listen, don't take it as being anything bad on the bench because I'm going to need you this afternoon?
120
We already had a discussion in pre-season about the roles
121
and responsibilities and about the implication of each of the roles in relation to the game,
122
the scenario, the schedule, a lot of factors,
123
but the quality and the delivery and intensity and will that you have to put every minute for this football club,
124
that's unquestionable whether you are a starter or not.
125
You've had to rebuild this football club and you've been here five years.
126
Is Pep having to rebuild Man City after all their successes?
127
Do you think he's anywhere near that now?
128
I don't know.
129
That's a question for him,
130
but obviously what he's already done in this league is unprecedented.
131
The level that he's put the standards in the league,
132
in my opinion, unprecedented.
133
And maintaining those levels for 10 years is already something incredible and the demands are there for him.
134
And he wants to carry on because he certainly believes that he can do it again.
135
History beckons for you tomorrow.
136
No Premier League manager has gone five games in a row unbeaten against Man City,
137
so I've got tomorrow or Sunday.
138
If you do it, all hail Mikel Artes.
139
The preparation of the game will be to win it, that's for sure.
140
Thanks for Josh.
141
Arsenal's suicide prevention service will be open for the first time at the game on the weekend.
142
Can you talk to us about how important it is to be open about mental health struggles
143
and also about what Arsenal's role is in that?
144
Well, first of all, very proud that the club again takes the initiative
145
and take a serious problem that is out there in our society
146
and get practical solutions
147
and create a safe space as well for our supporters to be able to raise their hands and say,
148
listen, I need help and this is the space to do it.
149
I think it's incredible and hopefully more people can do the same because there's a big need for that.
150
Simon from Stephen Slavik.
151
Hi Mikko, a few people were in the news about Tim's analysis this morning.
152
Was it a surprise to you how much you were aware of these changes coming in?
153
Well, I was aware in certain moments and I had various discussions with Josh especially and as well with Tim.
154
It's not the first time that it's happened since I've been here.
155
And again, incredible gratitude towards Tim,
156
what is done for the football club,
157
the football club, what is done for the team,
158
for myself personally as well.
159
Everybody is in different phases of their lives and requires different things.
160
That's it, we move on.
161
I think Sikors will see a big change like this and wonder what comes next and what the future looks like.
162
What is your message there?
163
Wonderful future.
164
That's the only thing that I invite.
165
He's so positive about it and every time.
166
I speak to Stan and George and how willing they are,
167
the projection that they have,
168
the vision they have for the football club,
169
the people that we have around it.
170
There's no question that there are big things ahead.
171
Tom Fibloni?
172
Michael, you mentioned it's not the first time it's happened to you,
173
some of us were trying to list the amount of executive changes that happened.
174
We've come up with a list with the late Sir Chips Keswick,
175
of course, Francis Kajigauer, Raul Sanjeri,
176
Ken Fryer, who stepped down Husqvar,
177
Ivan Kateshin, Edu Gaspar, Jason Ato and of course now Tim Lewis.
178
What's it like as a manager having to go through that amount of change in just five years?
179
Well, it was my first managerial job,
180
so I don't know if that's a lot or very little.
181
This experience that I had,
182
I can say that I've been very lucky to work with some wonderful people that I have learned so much from them.
183
It's sad because we spent so much time together and you name very important people
184
that have been a big part of the football club of my life as well personally,
185
because you get really attached to them emotionally as well and their families.
186
You have to move on,
187
maintain that personal relationship for sure,
188
and then people are going to do various jobs,
189
some of them being very successful in other places,
190
and wish them all the best.
191
Just to bring it back to the football as well,
192
you spoke before about the emotion of using Mikael Marino for his goals,
193
that he scored for Spain and one of the reasons why you started him in the game,
194
and he's not in the forest.
195
With how Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossop performed in midweek,
196
does that now come into your thinking about harnessing that confidence they got from that game Yes, it does.
197
It certainly does.
198
Because when players are in that state,
199
I think they have to be used and they have to be recognised.
200
But there are a lot of players obviously that are in a really good moment,
201
performing really well.
202
And that's what we want.
203
Whenever we need them, I'm sure that they're going to be at the best.
204
James, CBS?
205
I'd like to ask you a little bit about Erling Haaland.
206
11 versus 11 at least.
207
Your defenders have done a really good job of restricting that supply.
208
I think it's two shots on target in the last four games.
209
What has your team got right taking on Harland?
210
There are a lot of things that you have to get right.
211
It's a player that doesn't need much space,
212
much time or situation to generate big chances,
213
especially when he's in and around the box.
214
But preventing the source sometimes is the best thing to do it,
215
and we have to do it again.
216
You've allowed two open play shots on target in the last four games.
217
It's been a real hunkering down since the United game.
218
Do you feel like this level of defensive quality in Cheterno now,
219
is that the benchmark or is that beyond what you were expecting?
220
Well, it's certainly what we are doing today
221
and what we have to do on Sunday and the following games
222
and there are still a lot of things that we can improve.
223
We know that, we are very aware of it,
224
but it's a very big foundation to achieve what we want.
225
Last two of the slides.
226
Hi, Miguel.
227
On Tuesday night, lots of people picked up on a clip of you screaming at Eze to come out to the touchline,
228
and really hug the touchline in that Cat Fury,
229
going into the central areas.
230
Is that how you used to envisage Eze playing here,
231
much more on the touchline winger than someone coming inside that maybe we've been used to when he was at Crystal Palace?
232
Sorry, can you repeat the question?
233
Just on Eze on Tuesday night,
234
there was a clip doing the rounds on Social Media where
235
you were spotted really calling him to get to the touchline and stay tight to the touchline.
236
Okay.
237
To move inside.
238
Is that your vision for Eze,
239
more of a touchline winger than someone coming inside?
240
No, depending on what the position does.
241
It's one space or another.
242
It's never the same because the space
243
and the difficulty for the opponent will be in different things in relation to what they want
244
and what we want to accomplish with that.
245
Does this depend on the full-back he's got behind him at times as well?
246
Can a few lights come inside?
247
In Capier, who we know looks like he's more of an overlapping full-back?
248
Yeah, where that nine is defending,
249
especially if it's our left or right side,
250
the behaviour of that winger when the ball is on the opposite side,
251
attacking midfielder, especially if he's higher or deeper,
252
it's quite a lot of things to consider before we make that decision.
253
Phil from PA.
254
Hi, Mikel.
255
Myles Lewis's celebration of this fixture obviously attracted quite a few headlines last season.
256
Were your players free to celebrate as they wished on Sunday or were you saying to them,
257
you know, brain it in?
258
Well, that was done, that's it, that's part of it.
259
a lot of celebration and non-celebration with the past from a lot of teams.
260
And that's it.
261
We don't.
262
And that every experience is to learn as well.
263
And we certainly learn from that one.
264
And just in terms of City, obviously they've lost twice.
265
Two of their four fixtures so far.
266
They had their troubles last season.
267
Do you think that they are proper contenders this year?
268
Or do you think it's going to take them maybe one or two?
269
I think so, without a doubt.
270
I mean, knowing really well Pep and the demands that he's going to put there,
271
the mentality that they have in that football club,
272
the squad and the players that they have,
273
they're going to be there for sure.
