It’s really busy but it’s what we want, we had an incredible week in every sense, emotionally, physically, in terms of learning as well as a coach, we had a issues we had to deal with it, and for what I had in my mind in the international break to actually what happened and the players we had available, it was very different, it’s been good.
On whether he has any hobbies outside of football, Arteta added: No, my biggest one is to spend time with my wife and my kids when I have time, yeah tennis is one of them I don’t have a lot of time to play my kids try to get me to play Playstation, Mario Kart these things, I’m not a big fan of that yet.
When asked what sets apart this current group of players in the Arsenal squad from previous, Arteta continued: Well I think it’s the time in your career, you know that you start to dream, or to pursue certain objectives, targets and when you have accomplished them you want something else, at that moment if the team, the club cannot provide that you need to do it elsewhere, it’s something natural I think.
