After goalless draw against Liverpool, The Arsenal has another difficult task ahead. On Sunday, Mikel Arteta’s team welcomes the rival Tottenham fur English Premier League. The coach stated that the Gunners are “in the right direction” and he was full of praise for coach Antonio Conte, from Spurs.
“I think we are in the right direction. Yesterday we had to play an extremely difficult match, with ten players for 70 minutes, but I saw a lot of leadership in the field of very young players. That encourages me a lot because they understood what was needed, they were ready for the challenge and they showed a real struggle and resilience to do what they did.”
The Spanish captain also praised Tottenham’s experienced Italian coach: “What Antonio brings is a lot of clarity in his way of playing. He dominates what he does, he is an extremely successful coach. They play differently, they have principles they apply. It will be a very difficult match.”
