Hector Bellerin argues that Mikel Arteta completely changed Arsenal, but not in a way that will be immediately recognizable to supporters and pontiffs.
Changes continue to be discussed
The familiar face returned to Emirates Stadium in December 2019, with the former Gunners captain taking over his first management job since Unai Emery’s firing. Positive steps forward have been made in the FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs, but inconsistency remains an issue in north London as further changes on and off the pitch continue to be discussed.
What did Hector Bellerin say about Mikel Arteta?
Hector Bellerin is convinced that Arsenal has the right person at the helm, telling the High Performance podcast about the progress made under Mikel Arteta and he thinks that personally at Arsenal there is something that has changed a lot and thinks ethics and how they work with as long as Mikel Arteta was the manager of the club, this behavior has completely changed, their behavior has been rewarded by them. More attention to this behavior, so how they run backwards or how they create space for the player, because you know you can move to get the ball, you can move to take the player away, or you can move into space, there is there are so many ways you can move for, and sometimes the goal is not created by the player who passes the ball or the player who scores, but the player who actually created the space. And many people, like the fans in the stands or even the pundits sometimes, will not see it, but in fact this is what they practiced, this is what the coach asked and the player that they can score. Hector thinks even sometimes it’s hard for players to see other teams doing it, but they know in their dressing room and in the way they play that they scored this goal thanks to this player.
