Arteta responds to criticism of Arsenal's playing style

According toVnexpress.

الخلفية

أرسنال حقق 10 انتصارات من أصل 11 مباراة في جميع المسابقات هذا الموسم، مما يعكس قوة الفريق، رغم الانتقادات حول أسلوب اللعب. مع اقتراب مباراة دوري أبطال أوروبا، يتعين على الفريق تحسين الأداء الهجومي لضمان النجاح أمام خصم قوي مثل بايرن ميونيخ.

لماذا هذا مهم

تعتبر مواجهة أرسنال مع بايرن ميونيخ في دوري أبطال أوروبا اختبارًا حقيقيًا لأسلوب لعب الفريق تحت قيادة ميكيل أرتيتا. مع بداية مثالية للموسم، يسعى أرسنال لإثبات قدرته على المنافسة في أعلى المستويات الأوروبية، خاصة بعد انتقادات الأداء الهجومي في المباريات الأخيرة.

النقاط الرئيسية

  • أرتيتا يرد على الانتقادات لأسلوب لعب أرسنال.
  • Mikel Arteta and David Raya talk about criticism of Arsenal's style of play, and emphasize the noticeable improvement in performance before facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
  • Arteta is now here with Arsenal.
Arsenal made a perfect start to the current season, managing to achieve 10 victories in 11 matches in all competitions, after defeating Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the seventh round of the English Premier League. However, a late goal by Noni Madueke overshadowed the team's poor performance, as the attacking tempo was slow and lacked enthusiasm. After the match, Arteta acknowledged that the players needed to improve their attacking performance.

Discussions continue about Arsenal's style of play as the team approaches Bayern Munich in the Champions League. During the pre-match press conference, goalkeeper David Raya was asked if the criticism affected his and his teammates' concentration, and he answered categorically: "Not at all. Everyone has their own point of view, and we also have our point of view. We lost only one of 11 matches this season. If some people find that boring or unsatisfactory, I don't know what to say. We enjoy football and we enjoy training every day to achieve victories, and that is the most important thing."

In turn, Arteta did not care much about negative opinions, as he pointed out that any major team in England would face criticism. He said: "If we analyze all the top teams in England, you will find that each team has a list of issues that are discussed. None of us is perfect, and fortunately, we have the opportunity to improve, even if we achieve many victories. And if we do not have that, what will we do the next day? Do we consider that we will play better than our opponents? In the English Premier League, things are not that easy."

Arteta continued to defend Arsenal's playing style, noting that the team witnessed a noticeable improvement in offensive performance this season compared to last season, as goals, possession percentage, and attacking opportunities increased. He also pointed out that there are more players participating in attacks, and that Arsenal no longer relies solely on set pieces to score goals. Arteta considered that the performance since the beginning of the season is clear evidence of the team’s progress.

Facing Bayern Munich represents an opportunity for Arsenal to show its attacking capabilities against a team that has an attacking playing style, rather than against teams that tend to defend. Arteta expected the match to witness a repeat of their previous experience when they were able to beat Bayern 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium last season. He explained: "Both teams know how the match will go. We lived that at the Emirates Stadium. Facing deep defenses requires a different style of play than facing a team that rises to play offensively, and we must accept that."

Arteta also carries great motivation after losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025-2026 Champions League final, where the opportunity to win the tournament was lost after a penalty shootout. When asked if he had gotten over that loss, he replied: “I tried, but I can’t. I spent many weeks in the summer trying to forget it, but whenever I saw the ball or remembered the Champions League atmosphere, my passion was renewed.”

On the other hand, coach Vincent Kompany was unable to attend the press conference before the match due to being infected with a virus, and it was reported that he needed to rest at home after Bayern’s 6-1 victory over Leipzig in the German League. If Kompany is unable to be available, Bayern will be taken over by his assistant Aaron Danks, who assumed the same role in the previous semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain when Kompany was banned from coaching.

What's next?

يتطلع أرسنال إلى تحسين أدائه الهجومي قبل مواجهة بايرن ميونيخ، حيث يتوقع أن يكون لهذه المباراة تأثير كبير على مسيرة الفريق في دوري أبطال أوروبا. سيكون من المهم لأرتيتا وفريقه استغلال الفرص وتحقيق نتيجة إيجابية لتعزيز ثقتهم في المنافسات القادمة.
