In an interview with Belgian media outlet Sudinfo Sports, Arsenal midfielder Lokunga spoke about Arteta and Kompany, the latter being his manager during his time at Anderlecht.
Lokunga said: "The change of manager from Kompany to Arteta helped me, which is a good thing for me, their philosophy is very similar. When you analyze the way you play, you will find similarities between them. ”
"But Arteta and Compani are still different, Arteta is more involved in our daily training, and Kompany training will do this at the beginning, but not until the end. Kompany prepared me for the Premier League and he showed me the intensity of the game and told me that I had to be aggressive or that something should be done. ”
'Kompany also told me that I had to rush to the point where the long passes landed, and if I didn't do that in the Premier League, you were dead, he really did a lot to help me adapt to the Premier League, without him, I wouldn't have adapted to England so quickly."
