Head coach Arteta meets Man City in the crisis of overtaking the lead “a long-awaited confrontation”
English Premier League (EPL) Arsenal 안전놀이터 head coach Mikel Arteta said he would not avoid a head-to-head confrontation with Manchester City.
Arsenal drew 3-3 in the 2022-23 EPL round 32 home game against Southampton held at Emirates Stadium in London, England on the 22nd (Korean time). Arsenal trailed by 1-3, but managed to earn a point by making up for two goals at the end of the second half.
It’s a hard-won victory point, but it’s not an atmosphere that can be satisfied. Arsenal, the leader, drew 3 games in a row and recorded 23 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses (75 points), narrowing the gap with Man City (2 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses, 70 points) in 6 consecutive wins to 5 points.
In particular, Arsenal has played two more games than Man City, so it is a crisis that can allow overtaking as it is.
Coincidentally, Arsenal’s next game in this situation is an expedition to Man City, which will be held at 4 am on the 27th. It’s a league match, but it’s actually a head-to-head match that could be a ‘final’.
Regarding the match against Manchester City, Arteta said, “I’m looking forward to the upcoming game. It’s the game we want.”
He continued, “We will prepare for this match with the best mental strength. The true beauty of sports is to challenge for victory even in a precarious situation.”
