Wenger was the walking symbol of everything Arsenal and when he left Arsenal lost its identity...the fact that Mikel's first steps were to restore that sense of history and pride makes so much sense!
But I think that Wenger was also the cause of the decline in attitude. Fabregas and others have mentioned this.

@@triptwo425 its not really wenger fault. Wenger actually helps this club to become establish in the long term. I mean he could just left this club earlier after ucl final where he got some big offers from real but he refused because emirates project. Almost a decade he helping this club financially on the stadium debt, keeping top four every season and ucl with a very young player.
Without him, arsenal could face a huge downfall without enough money to run this club because of debt they have. And thats the reason wenger is being called le Proffesor
@@ayell91 Arsenal stadium should be named after him. Arsene Wenger stade sounds good
@SHAHZEB MIR they should make one.
I’ve seen such an improvement in Mikel’s work as a manager, when you watch Arsenal you can see a vision, a philosophy, a style. That is the sign of a coach who understands the game and the players understanding him. I believe he can go a long way as a manager, he needs time with the youth he has brought in, but give him the time, and we’ll be back at the top sooner than people think.
all he needs is our backing. As soon as he got a proper defense we start doing well, imagine when he gets his full starting XI he wants.
As a long time Arsenal-fan I would have to say that its just in the last two months I have seen that style, before that it was sporadic. but I guess that shows how managers need time, unless you're Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Hahahahahah

Amy Lawrence 👏 This interview should be taught to sports journalists. No hint of fishing for clickbait headlines just seemingly genuine curiosity and honest questions.
That my friend is the genius of Amy Lawrence!
Thank you for providing her full name.
He's a deep, deep man. I'll put myself on the line here and say we're lucky to have him.
I can see honesty through this man's face, transparency. He can talk about football especially Arsenal even in his sleep.
You can feel his passion through his word on "unity" and that was the club need the most to go forward, it's maybe take time but hey that make the process even more enjoyable.
Victoria Concordia Crescit
Shut up
Well said friend.
No? You was being sarcastic then? Lol
Being Arsenal fans is so depressed when losing and didn't achieve any cup but very happy when young gunners come out from academy. Their process indeed very interesting. IMO
Really heartwarming to hear this guy's feelings. It's not easy to be a Manager of a big club like Arsenal and it's a dream for a lot of people around the globe. 👍
There is 1 thing you can't deny, the love and passion he has for this club is amazing.
Why not. The luckiest manager in the world who got the job with zero first team manager experience and a 2 year honeymoon period. Anyman in his place would be loving the club LMAO. Thankfully things are working now
Nobody loved more than Arséne..
Nobody ever will …
And look how we treated him 😡
@@akhilvasudevan3989 we ALL earn our luck in this world mate. Whatever the profession. Don’t underestimate the power of hard work.
@@akhilvasudevan3989 he won a cup in that honeymoon period
I love Mikel and I just know he will bring this club back to its glory days. He has already started to heal the strained relationship between the club and it's fans and he's also making progress on the pitch. He knows what is needed to get back to the top and he's here to do just that!
This guy Is the perfect match for the job
He cant

Amy is such a legend. Great interview.
really now its like a play
Staunch Gooner as well.
One of the few professionals left in the media space…
Listening to the pundits and media there were times I had doubts but hearing Mikel talk like this makes me not want to replace him at all. Trust the process has been overused but it's correct and I'm glad we've got this gentleman instead of a Conte or another darling manager people think will be better. It's easier to say on our current run of form but my faith is building all the time. COYG!
I agree. She’s the main reason I take women & football seriously as even though she’s female I’ve learnt so much from her & she’s part of the Arsenal family. Before reading her book naively I didn’t even know there’s women who are into football as much as men! Respect to Amy & all the other football ladies. ❤️💪🏾⚽️🤜🏾
This is what we want from an arsenal team. Youthful, have a highly energetic group of players, and players willing to work hard for eachother. Hope he can continue the run to the very end of season
I hope our board dont hold back now and invest adequately to buy players who can make the difference each and every game.
@@om4482 facts bro
@@om4482 if the rumors that are coming out now is somewhat believable, then they might be backing him as soon as NOW, we needed a striker to replace laca and auba, and this vlahovic guy looks good, hopefully he can cut it in the prem
@@jdbskhx2174 It seems spuds at long last trying to shake off their Spursy image ...therefore we cant be letting a top player like Vlahovic go there as they are sniffing around him as well.
And a bit of flair 😎
Mikel Arteta is learning on the job and in a lot of ways "NEW" Arsenal is too.
We needed a reset and time to re-build. I think we are on the right track with Arteta and he needs time to realise his ambition - BIG JOB!
And as such we as a fanbase must give him time. Its not his fault we have regressed over 15 years...It is what it is and we are where we are.
I see massive improvement in players, mentality and togetherness.
COYG!!
Ppl forget he is youngest manager in PL
Let in the rebuilding, the new arsenal be confident in themselves. Also they should be; lethal in planning penetration into enemy defenses, aggressive, good ball holding power, be able to read the enemy rhythm, and offensive alertness inorder to keep the enemy at bay.
@@joelelem4942 Hear hear :)
@@abualexmathew3887 Also has the youngest squad (average age) in PL
Lovely to hear that his first objective was to bring unity. He got rid of those who caused divisions despite the resistance he got. Right now that unity is very clear to see. No egos just players enjoying playing together.
He also got rid of guendo who i think he couldn’t work with
@@messigoh6061 which is one of the cause of conflict in the team
@@messigoh6061 obviously mate Guendo is a spoilt little kid
Arteta will be a legendary Manager one day. Wondering though if Arsenal job came too early for him.
Best wishes Mikel 💥💥🙏
Mikel Arteta is the one…lets give him time
There is one absolute fact about Arteta, that I'd challenge anyone to deny.....
He's a brilliant talker.
This comment 🐐.
Very brilliant 💯💯💯💯
Because he is a leader. It's visible
Very important for a manager tho. Arsene was very charismatic too - that’s what helped at the early stages with the folks like Adams, Parlour, Keown.
Wow 100 games for Artera prob the most rollercoaster period I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂😂
He’s got second most wins as manager inside 100 games for Arsenal in our history. Crazy stat
@@AdvancedGaming99 that is crazy wow, watching our period last year October to December I would never have believed he would’ve reached 100 games let alone have the 2nd best record
@@AdvancedGaming99 man i didn't expect this stat at all, i saw this on twitter the other day and couldn't believe it, what a roller coaster, now we can see that the team is getting better COYG
He made us really hard to beat. Only problem was converting draws into wins and now he got his players and we are starting to look like a solid team. With one or two more signings we are going to Valhalla.
@@Shashank.brs2010 ikr, he made me eat a lot of humble pie lately, and you know what, im okay with dat, love the family hes building in the team as well, long may this continue
One thing is for sure, ever since Arteta has arrived the emirates have been rocking. Very different from the past.
Arteta and Edu played at Arsenal for years, so we shouldn't have doubted their dedications. We're witnessing a long learning process of a new manager and Arteta has become more pragmatic by recruiting tall fullbacks
Arteta speaks so intelligently. He knows exactly what he wants to do at arsenal. Great interview. Love his passion and vision. He is going to be a great manager long term.
It just makes sense whatever he speaks i can listen to him talk about football and life like his attitude towards job and how he deals with players and pressure I hope he is hea for the long run and a successful one
When I was a kid, I thought Arsenal was named after Arsene Wenger. I truly believe that years from now, there are gonna be kids who believe Arsenal is named after Arteta.
I mean with Arsene and Arsenal the resemblance is obvious, not quitenwith Arteta and Arsenal though
This is one of the nicest comment I've seen on this website
@@javibone4696 I have thought about it though, im sure many have
I thought so too! Weirdly enough I started supporting Arsenal because of this reason while my daa supports Liverpool lol
and we thought mancity was named after mancini lol
Most honest and transparent interview I've seen from arsenal we need more interview like this 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I really wish the best for arteta. he can be such a club legend if he wins as captain turned manager
As a long time fan I really really want him to succeed as our manager, because I am convinced that he will be successful in his managerial career so I wish his success start here with us. But there are moments like Villarreal first leg or the start of season that makes me mad.
No matter what, he Will always be reminded as a loyal servant of the club, both as a player and as the manager.
LOOK BACK AT THE TEAMS IN THE FIRST 3 GAMES, SO MANY PLAYERS WERE MISSING FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, IT WAS A TOUGH START, TO BE UNBEATEN SINCE HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL.
So proud to have a true Arsenal man leading us. He’s a clever tactician who inherited a real mess. Poor squad, problem players & too many ego’s and Emery’s idea of defence. Done a fantastic job. He loves the club and wants the players to realise what an honour it is to wear our shirt. Classy man.
I HAVE SO MUCH CONFIDENCE THAT THIS YOUNG MAN IS GOING TO SUCCEED AT OUR ARSENAL
This aged very well. Am not gonna lie I always believed that Arteta was the right man for the job. Why? Because he understands club identity. Just like Ten Hag will restore United to glory.
Never once doubted. The man for the stories and for the history.
This guy is a legend in the making. Come on guys to win an FA cup in the premier league as a manager in his very first year as a manager is absolutely absurd. I’m not sure if this has been done before and definitely not with a club who were struggling like Arsenal. Just look at his starting 11 now after 2 years. This guy has legendary vision.
Listening and watching this interview has made me shed tears of joy, i love my coach Dear God help him succeed.
I have supported him from day one and my support for him gat nothin to do with him being ex player but rather his knowledge of the game, all the top clubs and top coaches rate him highly, if it wasn't for his love for arsenal barcelona would have snapped him up instead of xavi
Don't lie. You're Arteta out after 5-0 vs City LMAO
@@akhilvasudevan3989 No I wasn't because I m not retarded.
Given the squad an it's problems when Arteta took over, he's experienced an entire career in those 100 games. Things are looking up and we wanted to see progression. Long may it continue
15:29 him talking about importance of moments gave me goosebumps
This Amy human being is good at what she does. She asked all the ‘hard’ questions in an information-seeking way and not a headline seeking one.
Trust me I will play there one day...I will fight everytime by their side to contribute in this team. Arsenal for ever🙌❤️
If we win tomorrow we are in the top 4 so you have to sat fair play to the players and also Arteta for turning things around
top 5 but yea
Liverpool is the real test and will still give credit if we beat watford
I have a sneaky feeling tmrws starting 11 is gonna be something crazy 😂🤣 long may it continue for you Arteta 👏
Arsenal winning 4-nil
Of all the bad things people say about this guy, you can not deny Mikel’s passion.
Even tho I’ve wanted him out on more than one occasion. But I hope this up inform is a sign of things to come. I really hope and pray that he proves me wrong and becomes a huge success with our great (sleeping giant) club
@andrehellas97 Don't be so fickle then. I didn't want him out when we were 20th because I can see the improvement with my own eyes. Give the guy time, in his first season we started rescuing draws from the jaws of defeat against teams like Chelsea. This wasn't even happing under Wenger in his last 5 years. He also beat every other top manager in the league within 12 months. Something Wenger also couldn't do. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The guy has a clear vision and plan, let it come to fruition and then judge.
@@tombarnes8843 well…. I was judging based off of 1/half seasons under him at the time we gave a manager who finished higher than he ever had so far and almost won us a European title. With a far worse team n less financial backing a lot less time and patience biased off of bad football and sketchy results. Emery should have been sacked 100% but we are supposed just blindly backing a man who is doing alot worse than the previous managers because of a “process/project”
Yess we’ve seen some so far worthy additions to the squad and they’re performing well which edu should get a lot more credit for than he is. But we’ve seen better runs of form with a better squad of players with one of our best managers at the helm during that time.
So I’m not going to blindly back the man till I see real progress at the end of the season which for me is top 6
And a cup run. If he does this he’ll have restored some faith with me personally.
@@andrehellas97 Fair enough if that's the way you feel. I saw it differently. Unai Emery was an absolute shitshow. I think Mikel's cup (that he won) was a harder route to the final and final to win than Emery's Europa run.
Also I think people are quick to forget how woeful Emery's football actually was, we would park the bus against teams like Leicester concede 25 shots and constantly hope they didn't go in, he had no idea of his best team and in the end was just trying anything like torreira at 10.
Mikel came to us very raw, and mistakes were going to be apparant and still will be. But he quickly got rid of the bad personalities, mesut, William, guendouzi and got us playing as a team again. We will have a rough patch in the future, it's inevitable with this young team. Please don't call for the manager to be sacked and give him time to turn it around. He really is building something. It may take 5 years, it may take 6 but to be under 40 and have victories Vs lampard, klopp, guardiola, ole, Moyes etc. In a few years I can see him being something very special.
@@tombarnes8843 agree about Emery. Seems recently people have talked about Emery as though he had undeserved criticism and that his style of play was good, and I just don’t get what they’re all on about.
@@tomfrost2600 I think he's just a manager suited to Spain. You could tell he was struggling with the language and from watching the players it felt they couldn't understand what he was asking of them.
Ultimately individual quality gets you only so far, the initial 10 game run when he first came papered over cracks, we were winning games 2-1 and 3-2 with auba and Laca on top form. Eventually their form dipped and the defence stayed woeful. Then he started parking the bus to try and get clean sheets but we conceded soo many shots all the time and totally nullified our own attack. Sacking became an inevitability at that point.
I was surprised his answer to the question on the moment he thought he would make it as a manager wasn’t “winning the FA Cup”. The fact he cares more that people believe in him is what matters most is elite mentality.
I was very surprised by that response too. He is so clever.
Shouts to Amy Lawrence, the toppest tier interviewer. Woman is a beast ♥️
This is Right
Takehiro Tomiyasu on his move to Arsenal: “The deal was made just in time. I thought I would move to Tottenham, but then the talks broke down at the last minute. There was no talk about moving to Arsenal at all until the 30th of August. Soon after, the deal was done.” [DAZN]
Wheatley is fake reporter
@@Mooktani more like a poor translation was made.
I'm Liking what Arteta is Saying! Shows he Loves the Club and is doing he's best to Succeed here👍
Yes that's why sometimes i think being a manager isnt always about winning and getting trophies.... you have to manage the players performance, their contracts ( lacazete current contract situation for ex), their happiness, their healt, club financial problems , connect with the fans, and the most important thing is you love the club and proud to representing the club....... imagine if arsenal sign mourinho isnstead of arteta, if mourinho won the trophies he won it for himself , he cant connect with the fans the way arteta did, and he prolly loves chelsea or real madrid more than arsenal..... thats what i like about arteta
He is doing the best that he can because he loves the club. I feel that he has found his way bit by bit to convey his concept and his principle across the club. Just that how many changes and time it will take to justify "the process" waiting for it achieve glory. Hang on you gunners
What an intelligent young man. I sincerely trust you and the process!
Congrats on the interview Amy, one of the best in the business
It’s been up and down, but I still have faith!
We sometimes forgot that this is his first job as a manager. Unreal.
Who's we? Everyone knows this is his first managers job. Just some "fans" are idiots with no patience who like complaining more than just supporting the club.
@@darr303 i sometimes forgot this is his first job. The way he is composed in press conferences,the way he communicates? It's cool. Btw,relax my guy. Why you getting on offense lol
@@grumpy_doctor in fact, i kinda feels that hes the right man for arsenal ever since his first interview. They way he spot on in every interview is very convincing.
@@ayell91 yeah i hear you. That first interview made all of us calmed down a bit
@@grumpy_doctor far better than unai emery's "gud ebening" 😅
Unity I truly love that word. UNITY
It's nice to hear him. Looks a good man. I wish that he stays with us for a long time because I'm sure he would do good. Great job Amy. 👍🏻
Arteta and Edu once ran out for this club kitted out in the red & white,so I do not for one bit doubt that they have the Gooner's best interests at heart in whatever decision they make in this great football club. I back them fully in their process and I hope that I am not alone in my being positive about the future for The Arsenal Football Club 🔴⚪
Wonderful interview Amy. You can see everything the manager wants in the squad now. Fight for each other and unity etc. Great work.
Best Arteta interview I’ve seen. It helps that the best Arsenal journalist and writer conducted the interview. Awesome !
What an interview, I hope this helps more fans on his side. Love you Mikel ❤️ COYG⚪️🔴⚪️
Personally, I really admire his determination, passion, and dedication. Hopefully, consistency and compactness as a team will follow
Time is flying. 100 games already, literally yesterday when we lost 5-0 and he was appointed.
I want nothing more than for this man to be successful with Arsenal. That’s all I’ve ever wanted since he walked through the door. Keep going Arteta. We believe in you. Prove the doubters wrong and lead us back to the top. COYG
Met the gaffer at a deli in North London. Such a warm and welcoming personality, taking his time to speak to me. Coincidentally I was wearing an arsenal shirt from the glory days. COYG!!!
Love his passion and vision..i have been an Arsenal fan since i was kid..stay at night for watching Arsenal's game.. now i'm 34 years old.... Love Arsenal from Malaysia
1st class interview. Great questions Amy. This man is a leader. This doesn’t mean we will win big trophies but you will follow if you are in his team.
Love this man... hope he can deliver the glory days and stay till the end of his career .. top guy
I want to speak like Mikel. He has the right answer with right feelings for all questions.
This is great interview. Hopefully we will keep winning games and move to the top!!! I really want arteta and this team to be successful. They deserved it.
I don't know if this was scripted or not but it is very clear that Mikel Arteta is more than just a football manager at this club, he is (or at least the ownership thinks) as the another 'Arsene Wenger' type face of the club. whether this works or not is up for debate but he seems to say the right things and recent results are answering some questions(not all but some) on the pitch as well.
ARsene Wenger. ARteta. I see they were clearly born for the job. It’s literally in their name.
Well said
@@Bangkokduh when i was little i thought arsenal was named after arsene wenger😭
love this guy!!!!!!!
october 2022 : this hits different.
Amy Lawrence has a beaming smile throughout this interview - Mikel has that effect one people. He is very humble, yet confident and charming
This man has my trust and patience, as long as the board backs him he will take us far. Him and ole have both been learning on the job and we can see the difference in levels of philosophy, recruitment, rotation. Big up arteta
Well Ole’s managed 2/3 teams before… Artetas youngest manager in prem with the youngest team. Ole has been manager a year longer yet hasn’t won a trophy unlike Mikel
Great Interview, that's our Arsenal, Humble and Compassionate... I honestly believe we're going places....
The man is still learning on the job as a manager but it's clear Mikel is a good man and a great leader. Keep it up boss
Coming back to his to say that this man has delivered and I am immensely confident that we're in good hands for the foreseeable future. Big things to come, need to take the next step, and he's the right man for it.
Love you Mikel! 🔴🔴❤ making me love my club again galore.
I can feel his passion for the club. I hope he keeps going up from here. And because of his ego he will take us to the top again. InshaAllah 🙏. COYG💪🏾
Arteta. We believe in you. By ur passion,ur spirit and your love for Arsenal. Hope that the day we have trophy comin
Beautiful interview from the boss. Hope we can win more games and trophies under him. You can sense his love for the club and his desire to see the team excel. ❤️
The positive vibes oozing from the club is so satisfying. I think its clear to see that there's been a shift in mentality and approach. That effort and commitment to win has filtered throughout all involved at the club. I truly believe in this youthful and talented team who are honestly so likeable and easy to relate to. You see this throughout this video with our dear manager who shows a really touching account to his life. I have 100% faith in this club and I know we are onto something special.
Mikel understands the game, above all he loves arsenal. I will always support the club..love from Nigeria
You just know he loves being here by the way he speaks the way his face lights up when talking about Arsenal . i love hearing speak and wish him all the best and a 1000 more games . Cant wait to play for this massive club
Very intelligent, humble and yet passionate. You can clearly see his passion for the club. I love this guy.
Big game today, let’s GOOO!🔴⚪️
Really appreciate the honesty. The way he talks is so inspiring.
Sounds like such a nice guy!! Good luck Mikel❤️
Just to let everyone know why i trusted him as the one to bring us up. The passion and knowledge is emanating the whole club. Loving and enjoying every moments.
loved the questions. great job Amy!!!
Arteta name is top now 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
My manager💜💜
Nice insight into the man other than just the manager. Congratulations to Arteta on the hundred. Unity is the key word. One Arsenal one voice.
What a great journalist .... such sensible questions
Mikel arteta has literally changed the fabric of this football club in a positive way
Amazing interviewer, she's so compassonate and charismatic...loge her as much as I enjoyed the interview
Brilliant man with great motivation .....he needs all the fans support
I've always supported Mikel Arteta... much love 🥰🥰
Probably no one better than Amy for such an interview - fantastic
Very impressive and intelligent man. He deserves our support
Honestly, I think this guy is super intelligent, very honest, a great communicator, and a master of mental game. I think the future of the club is bright in his hands. I don't understand the negativity from some fans , other than very VERY unrealistic short term expectations on the club. Seems like we are going very much in the right direction now.
Jujur arteta adalah sosok yang sangat dalam mengenal arsenal dan tahu cara membangun tim bukan hanya di lapangan namun dari sudut pandang lebih luas setelah era wenger. Kalau ada yang bilang arteta out dia sendiri sudah merubah apa sebagai fans untuk mendukung tim kesayangannya. Love arsenal. VCC
Toxicnya kebanyakan dari fanbase yg ada di AFTV bro,,
Klo fans sini mah masih setia gk nuntut hasil instant
Wonderful interview and insight on Mikel! Congratulations on yours and the teams achievements 😊🙌🏾💪🏾
If we had all our players fit/covid free we would’ve beaten Brentford and at least competed more against Chelsea. With how we’ve been playing since the Man City game it shows we have a philosophy and ambition which we can get behind.
thank you for this comment man am sick and tired of explaining this to people that instead of cursing our team just let them get together and form something beautiful. Try and remember the team we had when he took over and look at the squad now, we needed someone who has patience and that is this man right here.
@@HimelRoy009 not sure if we could have beaten brentford but we could have done a lot better against Chelsea and city. (Brentford are really quite the club). I think with Gabriel tho we could really have limited brentfords offense
We needed to lose those games especially against Brentford they were better anyway it was going to give us false hope we are far from our goals /desires like being league contenders or guaranteed champions league spot. We need time and more strength I am happy with the current foundation of players.
Arteta (Esq)
Joined when players on a lower income were demotivated by the fact they were the ones scoring and defending, while players on a higher income were not highly productive.
The club had a lot of deadwood, Arteta was unable to bring more new players into the payroll without having got rid of the not good enough players.
Also getting just one or two marquee signing would not have sealed the cracks in the Arsenal squad.
But now the club is in a the right position to sign a brilliant striker.
At first im kinda disagree with some of his decision, but now im realise he was restructuring and setting a new direction this club the way it should be. Its not an easy job, especially for a new, young and unexperienced manager but seem he done a pretty great job. We can see crystal clear where this club is going to for the next few years.
Intelligent and great communicator! Hopefully he can take this club to greater heights
