1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,200
Er...

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,360
There are certain things
that I struggle with.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,120
I'm a pretty straight person.

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,840
I've been raised in a way that for me,
certain values are non-negotiable,

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,600
and I have to try to apply that
within the club,

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,200
within the players and the staff.

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,360
[tense music]

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,360
What do you think, guys?

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,400
What do you think?

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,040
-What do you think?
-[Rob] Not good enough.

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,480
Not good enough!

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,520
What do you say?
Laca, what did you say the other day,

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:38,960
how do we beat them?

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:39,960
[Alexandre] Rythm.

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,800
Rythm, my ass!

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,080
Rythm, my ass!

17
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,480
Fucking soft!

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,800
Soft as fuck!

19
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,920
[tense music continues]

20
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,080
First of all, it's about the culture
and the values that we represent.

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,880
For me, there are three main ones.

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,040
One is respect.

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,000
When you lose the ball, you run from,

24
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,400
you lose the ball and then,

25
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,360
you walk, run and finally sprint.

26
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:11,480
The other one is commitment.

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Pressure! Pressure on the ball!

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,200
Ball goes here,

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,840
pressure and the ball goes here,

30
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,840
pressure on the ball.

31
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,040
And the other is passion.

32
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,760
I'm losing my voice again
fucking shouting at you.

33
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,040
I don't have to do that,
you are much better than that.

34
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,280
If one of those three don't exist,

35
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,240
you should not be
anywhere near this football club.

36
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,240
And after that
is a certain way of playing

37
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,360
and that way of playing,
it's only for one reason: to win.

38
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,960
I want to see
a fucking different team, guys.

39
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,840
You have 5 minutes!

40
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,320
5 minutes!

41
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:46,640
Your body language, your care,
your attention, everything.

42
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,760
5 minutes.

43
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,160
[hip-hop music]

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,040
When you love what you do,
that is called passion.

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,880
We have to believe,
we have to have energy.

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,000
[shouts]

47
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,000
Show these people how much you care.

48
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,120
[cheers]

49
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,120
Let's go for it.

50
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:17,000
[crowd chanting]

51
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,760
[cheers]

52
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,880
[whistle]

53
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,560
[crowd cheering]

54
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,400
[commentator] Everton leave out a roar.

55
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:37,280
For Arsenal 3 defeats
in 4 league matches now for Mikel Arteta.

56
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,160
Everton 2, Arsenal 1.

57
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,120
[commentator 2] That's the first time
with Arsenal,

58
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,160
you sort of think
they're going to turn the corner

59
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,320
and then they go
and produce a performance like that.

60
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,400
[sighs]

61
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,480
It's hard to sum it up.

62
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,320
Generally, I think everyone gave 70%.

63
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,920
We need good forwards,
we need good forwards,

64
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,120
and we need Aubameyang
to start stepping up

65
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,360
to what he was doing two years ago
as well.

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,200
[commentator] It was probably
the worst performance of the season.

67
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,800
To throw Aubameyang
on in the 85th minute,

68
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,600
it makes no sense, it's baffling.

69
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,480
[commentator 2] For me, he was trying to
send the message to Aubameyang saying,

70
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,800
"I'm in charge and we'll try
to win the game without you."

71
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,120
But it completely backfired.

72
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,080
[melancholic music]

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,040
[narrator] After a bad run of results,

74
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,920
the mood within the Arsenal camp is low.

75
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Mikel Arteta's decisions
are under scrutiny.

76
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,920
[Mark Gonnella] Afternoon, everybody.

77
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,280
[journalist] I asked you last week
about Aubameyang's form

78
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,800
and was it a concern to you?

79
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,920
You need him to really start
scoring goals, don't you?

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,720
Is he lacking confidence?

81
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,520
Well, obviously when a player is not
scoring, it's affecting his confidence,

82
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,160
affecting the mood
and then probably the belief,

83
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,960
but don't accept the situation
and feel sorry for yourself.

84
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,080
[journalist] Gary Neville suggested that
there was a risk

85
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,920
of your relationship with Aubameyang
turning a little sour

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,480
because you left him out.

87
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,440
I don't know.

88
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,840
I have a very good relationship
with my players.

89
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,920
Because if there's one thing
that I have to understand

90
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,000
is that I would always do the best
for the club and for the team.

91
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,360
[Gonnella] Thanks, everybody.

92
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,080
Thank you.

93
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,760
[Arteta] You know what is happening?

94
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,000
[Gonnella] Yeah.

95
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,520
[Arteta] And I want you to be prepared,

96
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,720
for what's going to happen.

97
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,600
Because that will explode.

98
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,360
[Gonnella] Yeah.

99
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,320
[narrator] After the defeat at Everton,

100
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,240
club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
was given leave

101
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000
for an agreed trip back to France.

102
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,800
[hubbub]

103
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Today, he is late in reporting back.

104
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,200
[shouts]

105
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,160
[Arteta] Yes.

106
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,240
[whistle]

107
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,720
[Steve Round] We need
to clear this up, Mikel.

108
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,000
Who defends the space?
And who comes to the centre forward?

109
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,680
[Arteta] The centre forward is for Laca

110
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,320
Well done guys, well done.

111
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,320
I was extremely happy

112
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,880
when he decided
to extend his contract.

113
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,440
We agreed
and we set some objectives

114
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,360
that we have to achieve together.

115
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,680
And I made some compromises
of what I was happy to do

116
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:39,480
and what he could expect from me.

117
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,600
And I demand the same things to him.

118
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,640
And then whether we are consistent or not
with what we decided

119
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,520
and what I wanted to install on day one.

120
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,800
If somebody...

121
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,280
doesn't do

122
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,600
or breaks some of the non-negotiables,

123
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,720
that's a really difficult point
to get something back from it.

124
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,600
[tense music]

125
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,960
[narrator] Auba returns to Colney.

126
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,120
But the club have made a decision

127
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:16,480
and are forcing him to train on his own.

128
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,880
[Sam Wilson] Okay mate,
we're going to warm up here,

129
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,840
then we'll take it down the far end.

130
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,240
-Start with some technical work...
-Okay.

131
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,240
And then we'll progress through

132
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,520
and we'll try and do some
conditioning work, mainly with the ball,

133
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,880
with response to the ball.
-Okay.

134
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,240
What has happened with Auba yesterday?

135
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,480
He went to Paris

136
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,760
and then came home.

137
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,680
Came home,
the boss wanted him back like...

138
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,680
One day before?

139
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:44,720
I think, yeah,
one day before he came back,

140
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,840
the next day,
and then was late for training.

141
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,480
[Wilson] And skip.

142
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,440
Push out to the top yellow.

143
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,880
[Rob] He had permission to go there,
something about his mum.

144
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,400
He had to go see his mum.

145
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,960
And then, yeah,
he didn't get back in time.

146
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,280
He didn't listen to him
and do the correct thing.

147
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,680
The boss had balls.

148
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,760
Yeah, the boss had balls.

149
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,000
[engine roaring]

150
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,280
[in French]
[man] Are you coming back?

151
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,760
I'm here, brother.

152
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,200
I'm training every day,
but not with you guys.

153
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,160
Until?

154
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,920
-Until some day.
-You need a timeframe.

155
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,000
Plus they asked me if, like,

156
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,120
I wanted to speak with them again.

157
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,480
Off you go, someone will pass on
the message. You know me.

158
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,400
-All right, catch you later.
-See you later.

159
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,360
[tense music]

160
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,800
[narrator] Matchday

161
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,640
and Mikel has to let
the outside world know

162
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,240
the club's captain has been suspended.

163
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Leaving out Aubameyang is a big call,

164
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,000
and one that Auba does not agree with.

165
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,560
[commentator] Let's go
to the Emirates next,

166
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,120
where actually an absentee is the main
story here. John Southall.

167
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,840
[John Southall] Yes,
and not for the first time

168
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,800
you have to say
that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang,

169
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,640
the centre of attention
for all the wrong reasons,

170
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,720
has been left out
due to a disciplinary breach.

171
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,160
[commentator] Arteta is trying
to put his footprint

172
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,640
over the culture of the football club

173
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,640
and say "the fabric of this football club
runs the way I say it runs."

174
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,960
[commentator 2] That's what I call
a bold move.

175
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,680
[melancholic music]

176
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,960
[fan] The fact that he's not on the bench
now, I don't think that's a good sign.

177
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,520
The two of them have to really sit down

178
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,520
and figure out
what they want from this team.

179
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,360
[fan 2] On the one hand, you know,
if he's broken rules, fair play.

180
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,600
But I think if we lose today,
it's going to get harder and harder.

181
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,640
[coach] Come on!

182
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,040
-Come on, guys.
-Boys, hurry!

183
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,000
Sit down guys, please.

184
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,000
Guys...

185
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,320
What is more important, guys?

186
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:03,960
The journey...

187
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,280
Or the destination? Tell me.

188
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,720
Laca, what is more important for you,
the journey or the destination?

189
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:14,840
Destination.

190
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,360
Destination.

191
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,360
You know
what we have to really care about?

192
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,080
And the most beautiful thing
is the company.

193
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,520
Neither the journey or that.

194
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,880
And I am so grateful guys
to have you here,

195
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,640
all of you here,

196
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,440
because you have one special thing

197
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,480
that it has to be our core that you...

198
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,360
I don't know how as a group you have
the capacity to transmit energy.

199
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,120
So when you go out there today,
guys, you have to lift them up

200
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,400
because after two defeats,
it's going to be necessary.

201
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,640
But you've done it.

202
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,640
Only passion, determination and passion

203
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,640
and show these people
how much you care.

204
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,880
And transmit it again.

205
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,480
And go out there and play forward
and attack them

206
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,480
and play with courage
and belief and fucking win this game.

207
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,880
[cheers]

208
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,120
[narrator] With Aubameyang out,

209
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,640
his good friend, Alexandre Lacazette,
is awarded the captain's armband.

210
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,120
[suspenseful music]

211
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,600
[whistle]

212
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,880
[commentator] It is crucial, isn't it,
that Arsenal get three points today.

213
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,480
-[cheers]
-Come on!

214
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,160
[commentator] Hooked into Tella.
White should deal with it.

215
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,840
He's been dispossessed.

216
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,120
It's a bit uncomfortable
for Arsenal there.

217
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,880
Southampton's press making it awkward.

218
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,760
[suspenseful music]

219
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,600
Tella's onto it.

220
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,320
Options either side,
might go for a goal himself.

221
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,880
That's a let-off for Arsenal.

222
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,440
[commentator] Arteta's up
on his feet now,

223
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,040
trying to inject a bit more
energy to the game.

224
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,640
Right now Ramsdale is the Arsenal player
with the most touches

225
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,480
and he's under pressure. Oh!

226
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,440
[crowd shouting]

227
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,160
[suspenseful music continues]

228
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,760
They're just about out from the back.

229
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,760
Saka...

230
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:11,080
Tomiyasu has kept going forward.

231
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,640
Lacazette! Oh what a finish!

232
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,440
[crowd cheering]

233
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,400
That is simply wonderful from Arsenal.

234
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:22,880
What a counter attack
from beginning to end.

235
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,840
A really terrific goal!

236
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,520
[narrator] Arsenal scored
their first shot on target

237
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:35,720
and 6 minutes later...

238
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,520
[cheers]

239
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,880
...they double their lead.

240
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,720
[commentator] Odegaard was simply
determined to get to the ball

241
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,800
and he scores a rare headed goal.

242
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,160
[whistle]

243
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,360
And Arsenal in control at the break.

244
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:55,280
Half time,
Arsenal 2, Southampton nil.

245
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,440
Okay, guys,
there are teams that jump for fun.

246
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,720
Fullback are going against our fullback.

247
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,160
To play good, we have to reset.

248
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,960
So when the ball is rolling,
I have to be ready.

249
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,160
My movement has to be ready.

250
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,080
So when the ball is right,
I'm set, I can play the ball.

251
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,800
I attract them and Gabi and Bukayo ready.

252
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,880
By ready means like this,

253
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,800
ready means no off-side,

254
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,960
looking at the line and say,
put me fucking through.

255
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,200
We're quicker than them.

256
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,800
We are going to destroy them there.

257
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,480
[applause]

258
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,320
[tense music]

259
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,280
[whistle]

260
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,240
[commentator] The second half kicks off
at Emirates Stadium.

261
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,000
Arsenal on top by 2 goals to nil.

262
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,560
Partey.

263
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,120
Saka who makes room for the shot.

264
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,720
So close.

265
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,640
[narrator] Arsenal control the game
in the second half.

266
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,040
And add another goal.

267
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,880
[commentator] And it's 3 nil to Arsenal.

268
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Gabriel adds his name to the score sheet,

269
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,280
he finally has his goal.

270
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:04,760
[cheers]

271
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,880
[whistle]

272
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,480
[narrator] Relief for Mikel Arteta,

273
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,080
but no respite.

274
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,280
[journalist] Big game coming up against
West Ham here.

275
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,480
Will your captain Aubameyang
be available for that one?

276
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,240
Let's see, I want to talk
about the game today.

277
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,040
[journalist] Can you not talk about
what happened though with...

278
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,120
I can talk about the game.

279
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,680
And I want to focus on the game

280
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,720
because these boys
deserve to be talking about the game.

281
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,480
[journalist] But it is a big issue,
you have to accept that.

282
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,200
The fact that your captain
didn't play today

283
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,760
and you disciplined him.

284
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,680
I said, how unfortunate.

285
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,160
It is a situation
that applies to everybody.

286
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,000
[journalist] Can he stay as captain
after this latest breach?

287
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,960
Let's talk about the game.
Thank you so much.

288
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,000
[journalist] When will you talk
about Aubameyang then?

289
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,600
I already have.
I don't have anything else to say.

290
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,720
-[journalist] Okay, we'll let you go.
-Thank you.

291
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:00,360
[hubbub]

292
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:02,680
Guys, one second.

293
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,680
Within the first 15 minutes,
when we suffer...

294
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,680
We had a difficult spell
and we had to hang in there.

295
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,080
And then your reaction, your commitment
and your energy

296
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,760
to play the game with passion.

297
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,200
You in play in certain moments, guys,
to a top, top, top level.

298
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,080
Now we have to extend that
throughout the minutes

299
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,760
because when you do that you are fucking
difficult to play and to win against.

300
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,200
Stick together, humble
and we go to the next one and we go.

301
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,680
[applause]

302
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,320
[narrator] The win moves Arsenal up
into 6,

303
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,120
just 1 point
behind fourth placed West Ham,

304
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,840
their next opponents.

305
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,640
Three goals and a clean sheet is
a degree of vindication for Mikel

306
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,160
and the management of his squad.

307
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,000
[whistle]
Good.

308
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,800
Guys! Now you are warm.

309
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,960
So every time somebody
doesn't give the perfect ball,

310
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,160
we play the ball back.

311
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,040
Everything has to be perfect. Ready?

312
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,000
Let's go.

313
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,320
[interviewer] What's Mikel like?

314
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,920
He's very intense
and he is very demanding.

315
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,880
And I think you've got to rise that
or if you don't you're moved on.

316
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,880
Tactically, it's crazy how good he is.

317
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,960
I've never seen the game
like this before.

318
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,920
Here, you are in total control.

319
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:19,960
Good.

320
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,280
[Bukayo] I'm really happy with Mikel.
He's definitely helped me.

321
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,400
Growing up watching Arsenal,
I see them get a few red cards.

322
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,160
So I knew he was, you know,
he can be very... sometimes.

323
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,080
Have more quality on the passes, guys!
If not, we lose the ball.

324
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,720
I want the pressure.
I want to feel the pressure.

325
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,640
That's why I'm a professional footballer.

326
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,000
[shouts]

327
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,280
I think that's what keeps
everyone on their toes

328
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,680
is that he can be quite ruthless
with that but that's important.

329
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,560
Pah, let's go.
Let's pick it up now. Good passes. Yes.

330
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,640
Commit as well.

331
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,400
Keep doing the pass!

332
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,680
[upbeat music]

333
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,640
[narrator] How the Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang issue will be resolved

334
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,360
is still unclear.

335
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,960
But with 24 hours
before their next match,

336
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,720
Mikel calls a team meeting
to bring some clarity to the situation.

337
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,720
[intriguing music]

338
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,920
Okay.
I have to announce you something.

339
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,240
Er...

340
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,160
Following the last disciplinary issue
that we had with Auba

341
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,720
and the consequences that I decided
to take not to involve him in the game,

342
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,920
I thought carefully, myself and the club.

343
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,080
What was the next step?

344
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,200
And we have decided as a club
that he is no longer our captain.

345
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,000
So you should know that.

346
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,600
The other decision is that for now,

347
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,080
he's not involved in the squad.

348
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,480
I will make decisions
further along the line.

349
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,680
We keep going as we are
as a group right now,

350
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,720
and we have to set ourselves

351
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,360
even bigger aims and bigger standards.

352
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,760
The club and myself, we are not going
to accept any behaviour like this.

353
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,480
And what we are building goes completely
against any behaviour like that.

354
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,800
So we have to have any meaning
to changing our culture

355
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,560
and making sure that we become
a different club and team.

356
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:23,880
We have to stand to those words
clearly in every actions with anybody.

357
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,880
And this is the message
that I have to send you.

358
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,040
I don't like the timing,
but I had to clear that up with you guys.

359
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,200
Now, please focus on the game
tomorrow, okay? Thank you.

360
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,080
[Shad Forsythe] Guys, good morning.
Preparation, all here in this gym

361
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,480
or outside at 5 past,
5 past 12 on pitch 5. Here we go!

362
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,640
[tense music]

363
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,560
[Gonnella] Hi everybody. We'll start,
please, with Andy from "Premier League".

364
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,800
Just one place to start, of course,

365
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,080
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

366
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,080
I wonder if you could elaborate further
on the statement released by the club.

367
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,320
I don't have much more to say.

368
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,560
I think it's a really clear statement
from the club.

369
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,320
It's a decision that we have made
following the incident,

370
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,800
the last incident
that we have with the player.

371
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,280
And this is where we stand.

372
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,800
Is it a case of...

373
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,560
Obviously because you're a young manager,
first job,

374
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,400
you're sort of looking
to establish your authority?

375
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,400
Or is that not the case either?

376
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,760
I don't establish my authority

377
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,160
by being dictatorial
or trying to be ruthless.

378
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,560
But is there a danger of this situation
becoming a distraction?

379
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,640
I'm sorry, but I'm going to speak that
for everybody that works for the club,

380
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:39,560
the first one myself.

381
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,960
And the day I don't do that
I go through that door

382
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,280
and I do something else.

383
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,480
So it's as clear as that.

384
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,240
To be successful,

385
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,960
you are passionate about something

386
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,080
and you want to represent
a club of this size with its history

387
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,560
and that's a minimum standard
that you did.

388
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,080
I'm not going to ask them
to put the ball in the top corner

389
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,080
every time they hit that ball.

390
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,320
But I will ask them to do the right
things every single day for this club,

391
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,760
that's for sure, Mark.

392
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,760
Thanks, Mikel.

393
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:06,960
[Gonnella] Thanks, everybody.

394
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:07,920
Thank you.

395
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,280
[Gonnella] Well done.

396
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,040
Strong. It's good when you make
a strong decision.

397
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,320
You stand behind it.

398
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,680
[Arteta] Thank you. See you.

399
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,320
[Gonnella] See you guys in minute.

400
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,720
[Arteta] They insisted quite a lot, yeah?

401
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,400
[Gonnella] We knew they would.

402
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,520
[Arteta] I don't think we give them
any big highlights.

403
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,440
[Arteta] Mark was making a fair point

404
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,720
saying "Are you trying to show
your authority?"

405
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,480
That's why I said
"Listen, it's not about that"

406
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,080
especially in this case.

407
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,800
[Gonnella] And that's the problem,
what you read.

408
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,560
The truth is, we clarify everything,
but you can't do it.

409
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,200
That's why I have everything documented

410
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,000
with the dates, the times,

411
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,080
the conversation,
how it happened, why it happened...

412
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:01,960
because if one day,

413
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,720
if one day it's needed.

414
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,080
[Gonnella] Yeah, you've got it.
There you go.

415
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,160
He's been late
apart from all the issues many times.

416
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,400
The club has got a tradition.

417
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,800
When you get paid that much money...

418
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,280
[narrator] The decision to temporarily
exclude Aubameyang

419
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,040
has obvious football ramifications,

420
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,960
but there are also legal issues
to deal with.

421
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,800
Okay?

422
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,680
Very neat, I like that.
Very neat. Very neat.

423
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,720
Tidy desk, tidy mind.

424
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,440
[narrator] Edu Gaspar
is the technical director

425
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,800
and he's joined by Richard Garlick,

426
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,560
director of football operations,

427
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,960
on a call to a club lawyer.

428
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,640
[phone ringing]

429
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:46,800
[woman] Hi.

430
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,080
We had a conversation with Mikel and Tim,

431
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,760
Edu, myself and Vinai

432
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,200
about the situation with Aubameyang.

433
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,160
Mikel understood

434
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,880
the concerns regarding him
not training with the group.

435
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,880
[lawyer] What's the player's current
situation?

436
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,320
We never know.

437
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,160
-[lawyer] All right.
-It is tough to understand

438
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:16,160
because my communication is
straight away with the agents.

439
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,560
[lawyer] I was saying to Vinai
you're quite on a back foot.

440
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,040
You know, we can't
continue down this route

441
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,080
of him being excluded from training
until the end of the season.

442
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,960
I completely agree.

443
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,520
[lawyer] So was that only about

444
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,400
coming back late going to France,
all that stuff,

445
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,040
or was there other stuff happening?

446
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,720
I mean, do we have
a bank of evidence there

447
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,320
that justified

448
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,000
-that temporary sort of agreement?
-Yeah.

449
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,400
Mikel's got a file. It's a catalogue
of misdemeanours that he's had,

450
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,280
-which has culminated in this.
-[lawyer] Right.

451
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,760
Yeah, it's not perfect.

452
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,160
No, I agree.

453
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,560
This is a short-term solution.

454
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,320
And with this, a longer-term decision
that needs to be made.

455
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,600
[lawyer] Yeah, I think we just need
some prep for that decision.

456
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,720
Okay. Yeah, we all agree on that.

457
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,400
-Okay. Thanks. Bye.
-[lawyer] All right. Bye.

458
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,240
All right, fine.

459
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,000
[interviewer] Is it easy to support Mikel
in this decision?

460
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,080
No.

461
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,080
Of course it's not

462
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,040
because how many goals

463
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,040
Aubameyang scored for seasons
for the club?

464
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,320
How much the fans like Aubameyang?

465
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,680
How much the players like him
to be around?

466
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,080
Doesn't matter if it's the captain,
if it's someone from the academy,

467
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,760
if it's a boy, you know,
who is just starting the first team.

468
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,240
Everybody has to be treated the same.

469
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,400
And if you're not doing what we believe,

470
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,520
what is important for the club,

471
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,400
we have to act.
We have to act.

472
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,360
And some decisions are strong
and difficult to make.

473
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,080
But you have to make them.

474
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,080
[upbeat music]

475
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,000
[narrator] Edu Gaspar became Arsenal's
technical director in July 2019.

476
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,720
One of Edu's key responsibilities
is finding new players

477
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,000
to improve the first team squad.

478
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,520
[Gaspar] It's a big, big,
big responsibility

479
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,920
to find a player,
a process to find the right player.

480
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:27,160
Talking to the finance, talk to legal,
talk internally, talk to Mikel,

481
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,160
talk to the board.

482
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:33,320
You know, I started to be...
how do you call...? Really tired.

483
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,040
I lose a little bit of hair.

484
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,760
So, yeah, this is me.

485
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,920
I like to really go for it. Yeah.

486
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:45,320
[upbeat music]

487
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,520
[hubbub]

488
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,520
Ben, Gabi and Kieran all pink, please.

489
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:54,480
[Arteta] Gabi?

490
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,040
[in Spanish] When the ball gets there,
go like the clappers.

491
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,200
You have to get there

492
00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:00,240
and if the ball is there,
and Granit has gone

493
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,760
on your back just that
and straight away.

494
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,440
[narrator] As well as sourcing
new players for the first team,

495
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,400
Edu has a strong working relationship
with the current squad,

496
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,280
particularly fellow Brazilian
Gabriel Martinelli,

497
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,360
who joined Arsenal aged
just 18 years old.

498
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,720
I grew up in Guarulhos,

499
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,160
in a poor neighbourhood
with my parents.

500
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,960
When I was young, I didn't have money.

501
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:30,920
They always say
"Don't spend a lot of money."

502
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,760
They're always on my foot,

503
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,800
like "Oh be careful, be careful."

504
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,840
But I don't care about the money.

505
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,200
I just want to play football.

506
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,960
My parents can take care of the money.

507
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,840
[in Brazilian] Hi Edu.

508
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,640
-How are things?
-All right.

509
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,800
-All good?
-All good.

510
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,240
-[Gabriel] Dad is here.
-He is?

511
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,600
-He came, just like that.
-Did he really?

512
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,760
He likes to be there in Brazil,
in the sun,

513
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,120
with his friends playing cards.

514
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,880
[Gaspar] But he needs to know that
it's good for you to be here for a bit.

515
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,120
But cool. And your mother?

516
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,440
-She's good. She's in Brazil.
-She is?

517
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,800
She bought a house there as well.

518
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,800
She needs to stay there
to sort the house.

519
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,360
Do you need anything? Everything's good?
Are you feeling well? All good?

520
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,320
[Gabriel] All good.

521
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,480
-I'm better already.
-All right then.

522
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,680
-[Gaspar] Send hugs to the family.
-All right I'll send. All right.

523
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,040
[narrator] When Martinelli
first moved to the UK,

524
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,880
his parents came to help
their young son settle in.

525
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,840
Yeah, to be fair it was quite tough

526
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,200
because in Brazil

527
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,240
I didn't learn English.

528
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,840
And my family was so important for me.

529
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,200
They always give me
some good advice.

530
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,320
If you want to be a top player,

531
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,600
if you don't give everything today,
you can't prove...

532
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,880
Like you are here
and if you're training at 90%,

533
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,200
you cannot reach, you know.

534
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:57,600
But if you're training at 100%,
you can go to another level.

535
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,840
[upbeat music]

536
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,880
He's training well, Gabi.

537
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,800
So sharp. So fast.

538
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,120
So aggressive.

539
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,680
Edu, I love him.

540
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,480
Honestly, I love him.

541
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,440
He just, well, he just needs time,
that's all.

542
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,320
And as a person, he's a top boy.

543
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,760
He is a great kid, trains everyday
like it's his last day on Earth.

544
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:26,960
He's just...

545
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,160
He's a diamond, he really is.

546
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,560
The passion
that we have in Brazil is amazing.

547
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,720
You know, how we live football
in Brazil is something really special

548
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,800
because we say in Brazil,
I learn a lot about that.

549
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,080
You go to the fields,
I'm hungry and the other one is hungry

550
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,360
but they have just one plate to eat.

551
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,720
Who is going to eat, me or you?

552
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,120
No, I'm going to eat.

553
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,800
[suspenseful music]

554
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:03,080
[commentator] Controversy abounds
at the Emirates Stadium.

555
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,880
[commentator 2] There is no
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang again.

556
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,160
[commentator 3] All the talk around
Arsenal has been about Aubameyang

557
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:10,680
being stripped of the captaincy.

558
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,160
[crowd chanting] Arsenal ! Arsenal !

559
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,600
[fan] Aubameyang is one
of my favourite players,

560
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,200
whether an incident occurred or not.

561
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:18,480
I don't know,

562
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,000
but it's so frustrating
as an Arsenal fan

563
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,920
because you know that this team
is capable of at least top 4.

564
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:26,120
We haven't done it in so long,
and you've just got to ask why.

565
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,280
And I think it's up to the manager
really to get that solved.

566
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,280
[music continues]

567
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:38,840
Come close, guys. Come together.

568
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:48,160
Guys,

569
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,920
first thing, you have to be ready
for the physical battle out there.

570
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,440
They are going to be physical.

571
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,440
We have to be there right from the start.

572
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,880
And after that,
you earn the right to play.

573
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,600
And this is where we want
to play our game.

574
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,200
I want to see a team
that plays with the same passion

575
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:04,800
than when we had that moment
of difficulty the other day.

576
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,120
That you know when to lift it.

577
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,200
Your passion, your belief and your energy
and you're together as a team.

578
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:11,920
So from a difficult moment
you overturn the situation

579
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,560
and you batter them
in the second half.

580
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,720
So you have to do that
and I want to see you enjoy it

581
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,240
and smile on the pitch
and play football like you fucking do it.

582
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,800
[applause and cheers]

583
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,160
-[player] Come on, let's go!
-[player] Let's go, let's go!

584
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,960
[commentator] It's a big night
for Mikel Arteta.

585
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:30,920
The Gunners won their last match
without their captain,

586
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,120
but fourth-placed West Ham
is a much bigger test.

587
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,960
The question is, can they do it
without him again tonight?

588
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,560
[suspenseful music]

589
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:39,520
[whistle]

590
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,480
[crowd chanting]

591
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,280
The atmosphere inside
the Emirates Stadium is much more buoyant

592
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,400
among the Arsenal fans than perhaps
it has been in previous weeks.

593
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,440
[suspenseful music continues]

594
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,560
[commentator] And Arsenal having
now a burst into the penalty area

595
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,680
on the far side from Tierney.

596
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,000
And it's a free kick outside the area

597
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,160
and there are players from both sides
squaring up to each other.

598
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,360
Coufal comes forward now,
but he's challenged by Martinelli.

599
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,760
[commentator] He's quick, isn't he,
Martinelli.

600
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,520
He is sharp.

601
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,040
Saka looking to tease the left back

602
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,080
as all the fans around us
get on their feet.

603
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,640
Lacazette, now right foot shot,
beaten away, Martinelli, no!

604
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,280
Brilliant save by Dawson!

605
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,480
What a recovery challenge that was.

606
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,520
[commentator] And somehow it remains 0-0.
A tumultuous first half here.

607
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,000
[narrator] In the second half,
Arsenal kick towards the North Bank.

608
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,280
And just 3 minutes in...

609
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,640
[commentator] Martinelli now is in
behind Lanzini, shoots and scores!

610
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,600
Brilliant goal from Gabriel Martinelli!

611
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,200
And the young Brazilian
breaks the deadlock.

612
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,880
It's an erring finish,
low and hard past Fabianski.

613
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,520
[crowd cheering]

614
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,040
[commentator] Smith-Rowe goes himself.

615
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,160
Oh wonderful goal!

616
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,480
[crowd cheering]

617
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,040
He ramped up the victory,
2-0 they lead West Ham.

618
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,600
A crucial victory.

619
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,960
These young players,
they excite you with their energy,

620
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,800
their enthusiasm and their quality.

621
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,400
And that's why these fans come to watch.

622
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,480
[crowd chanting]

623
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,360
[applause]

624
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,560
[player] Yes!

625
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,680
Laca, you were fucking exceptional today.

626
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:37,680
[player] Laca, super!

627
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,200

[indistinct shouts]

629
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,880
Different gravy today.
You, different gravy.

630
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,040
[hubbub]

631
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,400
Guys,

632
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,440
I asked you to play
with full concentration

633
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,840
and to be proactive.

634
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,560
And mama mia!
I was looking at your faces,

635
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,840
and you were there
for every fucking ball.

636
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,880
All of you without exception.

637
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,200
Guys, Lacazette,

638
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,280
the way you pat-pat-pat,
you come here

639
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,920
and now you go in behind,
I fucking love this, guys.

640
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,040
And then we lose the ball
and Bukayo, how many wins?

641
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,520
How many tackles did you win today?

642
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,080
-How many?
-Too many.

643
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,640
[player] Yes, B!

644
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,560
And you know what?
Fuck, the next game we go again.

645
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,600
And we play the fucking same way, guys.

646
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,520
I love the way
you fucking performed today.

647
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,520
I love what I see from the team, to play
with that energy, with that courage,

648
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,800
against that really, really difficult
team to play against.

649
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,360
You don't invite them to do nothing
in the game, lads. I'm proud of you.

650
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,760
We have to keep going.

651
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,960
And I see faces, guys...

652
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,960
the ones that don't play,
with genuine smile, genuine,

653
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,880
they feel happy for the team.

654
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,760
And when I see that, guys, good things
will happen for you. Well done.

655
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,320

[upbeat music]

657
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,680
You have to test.
I need to do the 1st team players first.

658
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:16,720
[narrator] The win against West Ham

659
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,120
takes Arsenal into fourth
for the first time this season.

660
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,280
But just as they are building
momentum on the pitch,

661
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,480
a new Covid variant, Omicron,
threatens their good run.

662
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,680
[O'Driscoll] It's chaos in the car park,
isn't it? You know.

663
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:34,920
[horn]

664
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,480
[narrator] It's club doctor
Gary O'Driscoll's job

665
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,040
to try to keep the players
Covid free.

666
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,680
He's not letting anybody
out of their car

667
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,160
until they have tested negative.

668
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,120
[Granit] Me? I'm here since...

669
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,840
-[O'Driscoll] How do you feel?
-Since 10.45.

670
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,720
45 minutes.

673
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,680
What can I do?

674
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,880
It's not my fault!

675
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,240
[tooting continues]

676
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,280
[laughs]

677
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:14,040
We were actually expecting there to be
possibly a small circuit break,

678
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,880
maybe one of the games,
Boxing Day or the 28th.

679
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,280
But actually we're having a great run,
we don't really want to stop.

680
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,240
We want to keep going.

681
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,520
[O'Driscoll] Thank you, Matt.
Thanks, Ains. Well done guys.

682
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,040
The players are chuffed, you know,
and so is the manager.

00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,640
-Merry Christmas.
-Top man, B.

689
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,800
Good man. I take it all back.

690
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,560
You're actually one of the good guys.

691
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,200
[narrator] After getting the all clear
from his Covid test,

692
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,360
Bukayo Saka is spreading
some Christmas cheer.

693
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,080
Ho ho ho, merry Christmas.

694
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,080
-I want a Santa hat, man.
-I got a suit mate.

695
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,840
[Bukayo] You got a suit!
Give me the suit!

696
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,880
[upbeat music]

697
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,000
[laughs]

698
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,560
You all right, bro?

699
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,600
[man] Santa's normally got a sack,
not a Saka!

700
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,960
[laughs]

701
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,160
[Gabriel] For me?

702
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,000
[Bukayo] No, it's for the staff, bro.

703
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,440
Do you work for Arsenal staff?

704
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:28,920
Or are you a player?

705
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:30,880
What's you do?
What's your job?

706
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,480
Me?

707
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:34,920
What's your job?

708
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:35,960
The booties.

709
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,520
You do the boots!

710
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:40,760
[Bukayo] Merry Christmas!

711
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,280
[man] Go spread some more joy, lad.

712
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,840
[O'Driscoll] We're all clear.
Unbelievable.

713
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,880
That's great work David, thank you.

714
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,000
Let's hope it doesn't get cancelled now.

715
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,200
[narrator] With Gary's help, Mikel has
20 players who are Covid-free.

716
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,800
[shouts]

717
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,960
And against the odds,
their match against Leeds is on.

718
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,640
[shouts]

719
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,960
[commentator] Well Covid has put paid to
the Premier League games this weekend.

720
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,560
But there is one Premier League game
left standing at Elland Road.

721
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,000
We saw the Villa game got postponed
on the way up.

722
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,920
So we were thinking
maybe our game might be postponed.

723
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,640
You're looking at your BBC app
and what we're seeing is, like,

724
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,040
every game has got a P,
another P, another P.

725
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,400
But yeah, we just put the foot down
and kept going

726
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,360
and hoped for the best
and we're here now.

727
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,200
[tense music]

728
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,800
[Arteta] We are so lucky to be here.

729
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,040
We are the only game
that is getting played today.

730
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,960
Tomorrow, I don't know what is going
to happen. I'm being honest.

731
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,640
I don't know what it's doing
tomorrow or on Monday.

732
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,920
So today we have to leave everything
on that fucking pitch.

733
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,320
Right from the kick-off,

734
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,640
I want to see the same team

735
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,320
with the same capacity to dictate
and impose yourself on the pitch,

736
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,320
individually and collectively.

737
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,360
Let's take again this opportunity, guys.

738
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,280
You've made it,
you've gone a long way,

739
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,040
we come here,
we win the match and we go.

740
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,280
-Let's go, come on.
-[shouts]

741
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,160
[crowd cheering]

742
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:27,880
[dramatic music]

743
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,160
[whistle]

744
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,760
[commentator] Lacazette,
just outside the penalty area,

745
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,080
trying to feed the supporting Odegaard,
down he goes,

746
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,000
it comes to Martinelli!

747
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,560
Arsenal lead at Elland Road.

748
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,640
[crowd cheering]

749
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,320
[commentator] And it's Martinelli
who curls it past Meslier,

750
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,680
gives him no chance.

751
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,000
[commentator] And Martinelli is in here
with another good chance.

752
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,640
Martinelli 2-0. Beautifully taken.

753
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:01,960
[crowd cheering]

754
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,760
What a super finish with Martinelli,
full of confidence at the moment.

755
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,480
[commentator] Saka still inside
the Leeds box finds space and scores.

756
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,160
[narrator] Arsenal easily
dominate the game.

757
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:17,880
In the second half,

758
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,000
Leeds get one back, but it proves
only to be a consolation.

759
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,320
[commentator] Smith-Rowe's in
and Smith-Rowe scores.

760
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,680
[narrator] Arsenal secure their most
emphatic league win of the season.

761
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,680
[crowd cheering]

762
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,800
[commentator] It's Arsenal who will go
back down the M1

763
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,960
with smiles on their faces.

764
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,920
[commentator] Martinelli, I thought,
was absolutely top drawer today.

765
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,880
[commentator] Do you watch him playing
at the moment and think,

766
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,680
how does Aubameyang get back
into this team?

767
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,840
[commentator] Well, he doesn't if
Martinelli keeps playing the way he is.

768
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,880
[crowd chanting]

769
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,080
[commentator] And what a reaction
they've had in the last two games,

770
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,320
been absolutely outstanding,

771
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,160
you know, they're scoring goals now.

772
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,440
Arteta is turning it round
and he's starting to prove to everybody

773
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,400
he is the right man for Arsenal.

774
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,120
[hubbub]

775
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:12,960
Guys, really,

776
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,480
I want to congratulate you, guys,

777
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,960
for what you did
in this pitch against this team.

778
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,080
It was tremendous,
it was a joy to play you,

779
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,400
to watch you play in certain moments.

780
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,320
Sorry if I'm on the bench
and sometimes I get mad at you.

781
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,080
But I'm going to keep doing that
because I want to be the best

782
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,160
and to be the best,

783
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,080
we have to get a habit
of doing the best possible things

784
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,800
every single time within a full match.

785
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,000
And hopefully you agree with me
but credit to you.

786
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,400
3 games and 3 top games.

787
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:41,960
[Aaron] Get the beers in!

788
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:43,800
[Martin] You have beer?

789
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:45,760
[laughter]

790
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,120
[cheers]

791
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,120
[upbeat music]

792
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,760
[narrator] After Christmas,
Arsenal continue their winning streak,

793
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,800
scoring 5 goals against Norwich
on Boxing Day.

794
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,040
[crowd cheering]

795
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,120
They consolidate 4th place

796
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,840
and are 6 points clear
of their local rivals, Spurs.

797
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,680
-What did you get the missus?
-A car.

798
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,120
A car?

799
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,000
Santa needs a big sleigh for that one.

800
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,560
[hubbub]

801
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,800
[Stuivenberg] How are we doing?

802
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,160
[narrator] After two days off,
the first team return to Colney

803
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,120
to prepare for their biggest test
in months,

804
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,480
a home match against Premier League
champions Manchester City.

805
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:48,400
[Stuivenberg] Okay...

806
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,040
Guys...

807
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,840
As you can see because
I'm standing in front of you guys,

808
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,960
the boss is not in.

809
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,920
He's tested positive yesterday.

810
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,480
[tense music]

811
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,400
He will miss the game.

812
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,880
He's not very happy
with the situation, as you can imagine,

813
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,880
but... yeah, a shit situation,
as we know.

814
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,440
But we have to deal with it.

815
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,320
Er...

816
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,080
For now, that means

817
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,640
we have three days going into Man City

818
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,600
and we want to use those days
in the best way possible, of course,

819
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:28,640
to prepare you guys.

820
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,640
[shouts]

821
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,600
Play, play, play.

822
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:38,200
[whistle]

823
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,280
[Stuivenberg] I am relying on you today,
on the defending deep. Yeah?

824
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,320
Laca, you show what is needed

825
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:47,640
and the rest will follow.

826
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,360
All right?

827
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,560
A bit more pressure. Pressure.

828
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,480
Gabi, what's wrong?

829
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,800
Just... just kick.

830
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:01,960
Relax, it's too forced.

831
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,400
Focus on the simple things.

832
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,160
If the control is good,
the next action will be good with you.

833
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,280
Okay? Control is everything.

834
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,000
Simple things, do them well.

835
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,320
[tense music]

836
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,800
Good.

837
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,160
Already.

838
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,200
Mikel, you okay?

839
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,640
Please try not to kill yourself
with meetings.

840
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:29,480
It's a massive game,

841
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,680
but we need you back
for Liverpool as well.

842
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:35,920
You sure?
Okay, I'll speak to you in a bit.

843
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,280
We'll keep in touch.

844
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:38,960
Cheers, bye bye.

845
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,640
Any midfielder coming in,
you have to pick him up.

846
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,880
Find our references.

847
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,680
[commentator] We heard that Mikel Arteta
has tested positive for Covid-19

848
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,040
and will miss the game
against Manchester City,

849
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,400
which is far from ideal.

850
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,440
The preparation
and the organisation and the game plan

851
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,920
and just seeing the way the players
are responding to the instructions,

852
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,840
responding to the sessions...

853
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,840
Who's executing this better
than that person?

854
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,800
And so on.

855
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,680
You know, you're missing that.

856
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,600
Move, move them, move them.

857
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,800
Yes, move them again.

858
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:14,920
In between.

859
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,960
[suspenseful music]

860
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,600
[commentator] What a mouth-watering
match-up to welcome in a new year.

861
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,440
Arsenal were thrashed 5-0
at the end of August,

862
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,040
they found themselves filling
a relegation place.

863
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,200
Fast-forward
and Mikel Arteta's rejuvenated men

864
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,760
are being talked about
as genuine contenders

865
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,640
to end their Champions League exile.

866
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,000
We have each other's backs.

867
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,400
Trust each other.

868
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,520
[Granit] Start well, be focused on
the beginning guys, it's very important.

869
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,040
[Stuivenberg] Ready to compete,
win your battles.

870
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,080
Guys, come on over.

871
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:55,760
Come on.

872
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,840
[hubbub]

873
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,480
[Boukayo] Come on!

874
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,440
Happy New Year to everybody, guys.

875
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:05,520
Er...

876
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,200
It has been a few days away
from you guys

877
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,360
and I don't want to get emotional,

878
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,800
but it makes me realise how proud
and how happy I am to share my life

879
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,200
with you every day, guys.

880
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,960
And I'm really sorry
that I cannot be there today

881
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,160
because we're going to go to fucking war
today and I would like to be there,

882
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,120
but I will be grabbing this screen

883
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,920
and I will be pushing and forcing
and doing everything I can

884
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,200
to try to help you as much as possible.

885
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,920
Just one thing guys,
be yourselves.

886
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,840
I want a game
that you face-to-face.

887
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,800
I want to see the players
confronting them.

888
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,040
When we were at the Emirates,
remember what they do,

889
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,040
3-0 down and with 10 players

890
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,680
and they were putting Mahrez and Sterling
on the pitch to humiliate you.

891
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,880
Let's fucking go for it, guys!

892
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,360
We are a completely different team

893
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,160
and to go from the first minute,
think forward,

894
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,040
act forward and play forward

895
00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:01,080
every fucking all of you, guys.

896
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:02,040
I am proud of you.

897
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:03,840
Fucking go out there
and win this fucking match.

898
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,800
-[shouts]
-[applause]

899
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,320
[crowd cheering]

900
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,160
[whistle]

901
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,240
[commentator] Here we are off
and running here.

902
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Manchester City
beginning to dominate the ball.

903
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,440
De Bruyne into Sterling though
into the penalty area.

904
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,240
Really well defended by Gabriel.

905
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:26,880
[commentator 2] He's made his mind up,
Gabriel.

906
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:28,320
He's really going to be physical.

907
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,160
Attacking down the opposite
left-hand side this time.

908
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,280
Brilliant attack from the sky
by Martinelli.

909
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,160
He's not got too much in support
at the moment.

910
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,920
Finds Lacazette on the edge of the area.

911
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,160
It could be a chance
for Odegaard, up against Ederson,

912
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:43,880
he takes it wide.

913
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,480
Well, Odegaard goes down
looking for a penalty.

914
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,440
No penalty.

915
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,160
[commentator] This is the best
I've seen Arsenal play for a long time.

916
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,280
Tierney down the left.
Lacazette.

917
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:55,200
And Saka in the centre.

918
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,240
Saka with a shot!

919
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,280
Saka with a goal!

920
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:02,200
Well, that wasn't
in Manchester City's script

921
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,720
to start the New Year.

922
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,800
Arsenal 1, Manchester City nil.

923
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,640
[commentator] I'll tell you what, I bet
somebody's running up and down

924
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,480
their living room at the moment.

925
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:14,480
[whistle]

926
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,960
And there goes the halftime whistle
to a standing ovation.

927
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,080
[commentator 2] I can't believe I'm gonna
say this, but Man City are hanging on.

928
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,840
[hubbub]

929
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:27,880
[Arteta] Well done, guys.

930
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,880
Without the ball,
they are trying to overload us,

931
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,560
everything in our left side.

932
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:33,000
That's the game plan that they have.

933
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,520
Gabi, you cannot stand here in front

934
00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:37,920
because the goalkeeper
is able to play this ball

935
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,720
and you need to be ready here

936
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:40,880
and then we squeeze.

937
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,840
If you get dragged out to any position
that you are not comfortable,

938
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,600
we have to put them down.

939
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,160
You've been brilliant because
everybody is defending forward

940
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:49,400
and you look so convincing.

941
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:50,880
We need to keep going.

942
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,680
The second half is going to be tough.

943
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,880
We have to maintain
the game management.

944
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,680
Guys, play with the same focus.

945
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,160
[applause]

946
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,200
[commentator] We are off and under way
in the second half.

947
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,200
Bernardo Silva trying to run
at Granit Xhaka, he goes down.

948
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,320
Well, Granit Xhaka is furious.

949
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,120
He thinks that was a dive.

950
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,680
Well, there is a VAR review here.

951
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,920
And the referee gives a penalty!

952
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,400
Riyad Mahrez against Aaron Ramsdale.

953
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,400
Mahrez shoots into the corner,

954
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:23,800
left-hand side,

955
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,360
and the champions
are back on level terms.

956
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,680
-It's getting really fiery.
-It's Gabriel.

957
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:33,680
I think he's just booked Gabriel
in the process there.

958
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,320
[suspenseful music]

959
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,800
And he's headed over the goalkeeper...

960
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,960
Oh and Aké back on the line

961
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,160
and then Martinelli blazes over.

962
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,480
[commentator] Martinelli's only got
to roll into an empty net.

963
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,160
There's something happening everywhere.

964
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:49,600
[crowd shouting]

965
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:50,560
[whistle]

966
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:52,040
Now it's a card coming out.

967
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,600
[commentator] It's a second yellow
and it's a red card.

968
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,800
Arsenal are down to ten men.

969
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,000
[commentator] I hope Mikel Arteta
isn't near any coffee cups in his study.

970
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,000
[tense music]

971
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,520
Gabi, the game is on in the doc's office
if you wanna watch it.

972
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:23,520
The ref!

973
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,920
I know, mate, I know.
It's a joke.

974
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,560
I know, mate.

975
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,080
[crowd shouting]

976
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:43,160
[commentator] Arsenal are defending,
determined defending.

977
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,040
[commentator] Aaron Ramsdale
hasn't really been seriously tested

978
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,560
since they went down to 10,
as Thomas Partey dispossess Sterling.

979
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,520
There will be 6 added minutes
to hold on with 10 men.

980
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,360
He chips it into the Arsenal area,

981
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,400
Ben White got something on it,
Laporte helps it goalward.

982
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:03,200
And it's been steered in by Rodri

983
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,840
in stoppage time at the end of the game.

984
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:11,160
Manchester City have surely
stolen the points.

985
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,320
Arsenal 1, Manchester City 2.

986
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,520
[whistle]

987
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,800
[commentator] I can only imagine
what's going on in Mikel Arteta's house.

988
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,080
[crowd shouting]

989
00:48:26,720 --> 00:48:28,280
Don't worry, Gabi, bro.

990
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,560
[hubbub]

991
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,720
[Granit] Fucking people that are outside
don't understand football.

992
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,120
In slow motion, anything looks hard.

993
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,840
He decides nobody foul
and after the fucking VAR gives foul.

994
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,000
Fucking rules, man!

995
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:44,160
[Stuivenberg] Listen up, guys.

996
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,000
Guys, I hear a lot of frustration,

997
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,040
and I am completely aligned
with you for what happened

998
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,560
and the decisions
that were given and everything.

999
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,360
But from my side, guys,
you only have words of praise.

1000
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,520
To play the way you played
against the best team in the world.

1001
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,960
Without a doubt it was immense.

1002
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,760
The result is not a consequence
of the performance today.

1003
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,280
And we have to be as well fair
with ourselves that the line is so thin

1004
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,400
and there were things in our control
in very important moments

1005
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,160
and we gave them away.

1006
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:19,000
And I'm sorry but the moment you give
something away to those teams,

1007
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,000
you get punished.

1008
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,640
But for the rest,

1009
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,760
the way you played guys, the courage
that you showed with the ball,

1010
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,800
the aggression you showed
without the ball...

1011
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,520
Be positive because I haven't seen
any team do it this season.

1012
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,080
So well done. Okay.

1013
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,400
[applause]

1014
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,920
The whole game, we can't change it.

1015
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,400
It's not possible.

1016
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,200
[commentator] Well, the January
transfer window is open,

1017
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,120
the rumour mill is back up and running.

1018
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,080
[commentator] Early ball in.

1019
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,240
It's Lewis Grabban.

1020
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,440
When I lose a duel,
I am upset!

1021
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,080
When I lose the small-sided games,
I am upset!

1022
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,680
Because that is a fucking standard,

1023
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,960
because you come here
and now you fucking lose.

1024
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,480
Nowhere near guys, it's fucking shit.

1025
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,000
You know he's in Barcelona?

1026
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:22,840
-Who?
-Auba.

1027
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,240
Really?

1028
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,160
[tense music]
