Arteta: We have a clear goal in the second half of the season and the players are confident at the moment

Recently, Arteta was interviewed by Arsenal's official website, in which he talked about the team's winter break training and the current state of the team.

About winter break training

"We had a two-week or so hiatus and we had thought about how to make the most of that hiatus, so we decided to come to a different environment for a week. We've had a hard time in recent seasons, including this one, not just physically, but also mentally, so we want to take this opportunity to get something. We are currently training in Dubai, the environment here is very good, we want to take this opportunity to continuously improve my efficiency, and we have set a clear goal for the second half of the team's schedule here. We have 17 games to play, and how to play the next game and what kind of result we are going to achieve at the end of the season is something we need to be clear about in the near future. In addition, we stressed the importance of unity and teamwork, which we must maintain next. Not only for the players, but also for their families, because family is an important part of everyone's life, so I ask them to work hard to do these things every day. ”

About the fans

"I think the support of the fans will create a huge advantage for us, but now, I feel like we have lost contact with the fans, which was one of our huge advantages. We are a big team with a long history, so we have to strive for excellence, but at the same time, we also need to get the right support and understanding. You can't compare this Arsenal team to the one from 2000 because they're in two completely different environments, but they have one thing in common, which is that they are all committed to being the best team they can be, and that's the goal of every player in the team now. ”

About the goals of the season

"We are the youngest team in the Premier League, our players are full of passion and they have enough ability and experience and I think those qualities are very necessary. So I'm really looking forward to what we're going to achieve at the end of the season, we have a clear goal now, and although it's not easy to achieve, we're going to try to achieve it in the second half of the season. We're confident in ourselves right now because we're so eager to achieve our goals, but we do need to improve in a lot of places. We've lost points we shouldn't have lost in some games, which shows that we're still immature enough at some point. But again, we've won a lot of games that have had a positive impact on the team. So we have to keep the team in this state we are and give them enough confidence. When the players can feel in their hearts that someone is behind them, they can play without fear and play their true ability in the game. That's what we do, and our fans play a very key role in that, so that the players can feel supported all the time. “
