Arteta: Respect Aubameyang's view, I'm doing it for the team, not for myself

Arsenal boss Arteta was interviewed not long ago in response to Aubameyang's question that "the problems are all with Arteta".

— Failed to bring in Aubameyang's replacement

The importance of Aubameyang's goal for the team is unquestionable. But we have other players who also believe in their ability and they can make up for the number of goals we need in different ways.

Is leaving the team the best solution for Aubameyang?

I am very grateful for everything he has done to the club and for the contribution he has made since coaching himself. I'm focused on the solution rather than the problem itself.

Are you disappointed with Aubameyang's way of saying goodbye?

It's the best ending for everyone. Time flies, and change is part of football. What we did yesterday or even a month ago no longer matters. What matters is the present as well as the future. We all made the best decision and that was to move on and now he plays for Barca.

—Aubameyang's recent remarks

That's his opinion, that's what he says, and you have to respect his opinion.

What happened to Aubameyang?

All I can say is that I've solved this problem 100 percent and I can look anyone in the eye and say that.

Did you do anything wrong with Aubameyang?

Doing it wrong? Of course, I did a lot of things wrong. But my intentions are always good, not for myself, but for the club and the team.
