Arteta: We will fight everything to defend the club and not let anyone ruin our reputation

Live bar January 19 news In the second leg of the League Cup semi-final in the early morning of Beijing time, Arsenal will sit at the Emirates Stadium to meet Liverpool. In the first leg of the match, the two teams exchanged white rolls, so there was still a lot of suspense in this game. In a press conference ahead of the match, Arsenal boss Arteta talked about the team's preparations, while also answering some questions of great concern to fans and the media.

About the role the fans will play when they arrive

The fans are able to change the energy of the team and the momentum of the game. So if they can encourage the team as they have done recently, then it will be a huge help to us.

About the team's injuries

Unfortunately, there are some things I can't say. We have had some problems that have not been resolved. I hope there will be no new news tomorrow and I hope that the game will go on normally.

About the chances of Smith Rowe, Fuan Jianyang and Erdegaard playing in this game

For different reasons, they are unable to play for the team. We are working hard to make a difference and are working to raise the bar for the players to prepare for tomorrow's game.

Criticism of the North London derby postponement

For a Premier League game like this, we don't have enough players in our squad and that's something we can guarantee 100%.

About Aubameyang

Aubameyang is getting some tests in London because we haven't figured out from Gabon why he's back in London. Therefore, it is our responsibility to ensure his safety and physical health. So far, there's nothing wrong with what we've done with the players.

About Thomas

Apparently, for Thomas he was very disappointed now. He can't play the game right now, so he has to focus completely on Arsenal as soon as possible.

On whether there are new CASEs of COVID-19 in the team

No.

About whether or not to use academy players

We've done things like that, with the youngest squad in the league, we've also used academy players. Tomorrow, if, as I expected, everyone can be used by the team, then we will play this game because we also want to play football.

Whether the rules governing the application for a match extension need to be changed

Yes, but you need to make the rules clear from the start, and asking someone else to make changes seems manipulative. I think everyone has to do the right thing, and if you have to make a change, then change it. There are a lot of things we can't control, and the schedule is already scheduled.

About the importance of winning the championship

That's why we're here. Our goal is to bring success, trophies and joy to all who love Arsenal and continue to do what has been done in the club's history.

On the outside world's dissatisfaction with Arsenal

I think people have more respect than dissatisfaction with Arsenal, it comes from the history of the club, from how to act, how to do ourselves well, we know we have done the right thing. We made decisions with the Premier League and the FA side (the postponement of the game) and at least we were honest.

On whether it will use outside dissatisfaction with Arsenal to motivate the team

We will do everything we can to defend the interests of the club and will not let anyone ruin our reputation or try to spread lies.

About the departure of Kolasinac and Mali

Kolasinac and Mali left for different reasons. Kolasinac doesn't have much time to play and the contract is about to expire, so we think it's a good option. Mali's situation is more complicated, but judging by his injuries and playing time, although he is a very professional player, he has not been able to get the playing time he wants.
