Pre-match press conference with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta ahead of Arsenal v Brentford in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium. <br /><br />Arteta provides an injury update, explaining that William Saliba and Leandro Trossard are both only a matter of days away, while Kai Havertz and Gabriel remain out for weeks and the squad is being carefully managed during a congested fixture list. He stresses the importance of rotation, says every player has an opportunity and calls the Brentford game “vital” and “massive” as Arsenal look to respond after a demanding run of matches. <br /><br />He discusses the physical challenge Brentford pose with their intensity, long throws and set pieces, insists Arsenal must dominate those duels, and points out that the overall intensity required in every Premier League game is incredible. Arteta also talks about evolving rules around time wasting, the need for effective playing time to improve, and calls on supporters to be “like animals” to create a bouncing Emirates atmosphere under the lights. <br /><br />Arteta praises Declan Rice after his supporters’ award, saying he has become a “lighthouse” at Arsenal who steps up in big matches, and hails David Raya’s journey as an amazing goalkeeper whose signing story shows his character. He reflects on dealing with another difficult injury spell, how last season’s issues helped shape a more flexible squad, and explains how Arsenal adapt preparation around a relentless three games in a week schedule. <br /><br />📺 Please subscribe, like the video and share wherever you can! <br /><br />⚠️ DO NOT copy and re-upload any part of this video anywhere otherwise copyright strikes will be made!
