Mikel Arteta: Arsenal Boss ready to go to ‘Full Gas’ vs Newcastle at Carabao Cup after a ‘disappointed’ completion of the transition window | Football news
Arsenal chief Mikel Arteta insisted that his side prepares for a “full gas” against Newcastle United in the semifinals of their Carabao Cup, despite the “disappointing” ending in January.
Gunneri move into the other leg of a tie with a two -goal deficit but will not be stifled with fresh faces, after the window closes without a new signature on the Emirates.
Sky Sports News He reported that the offer was rejected for the Aston villa of Ollie Watkins, after the injury of Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka, which Kai Havertz left as a lonely option in advance, while there was also an interest in Mathys Tel, Benjamin Seosko and Matheus Cunha.
“We had a clear intention. The window is open to explore the opportunity to improve the teams with players who can do it. We didn’t achieve it,” Artete said at her press conference ahead of the Newcastle game, Live on Sky Sports.
“We are disappointed in this regard, but we are very aware that we want to bring a certain type of player, we have to be very disciplined in that. I think we were.”
Arteta: We’ll have to try something different
As noted earlier, Havertz now remains a lonely option of arsenal in the front areas, but Arththa did not rule out that it was creative to solve the problem with choosing, because it looks at other players in a team that could act in the role.
He added: “We will have to be flexible in the front line. Those who are in shape, we have to make sure they remain in shape.
“Leo [Trossard]Ethan [Nwaneri],, [Gabriel] Martinelli, Raheem [Sterling] can play in that position. Let’s see in relation to how everyone, the moment and the opposite.
“But at some point we will have to try something different.”
Arsenal ready to go to ‘full gas’ vs Newcastle
Arsenal’s shortcomings within the front area were naked during the first meeting between the two sides, because they lost 2-0 in the Emirates in January.
The sporadic approach to Gunners in front of the goal failed with only three of the 23 goals on the target, while Alexander Isak showed his clinical advantage, crossing the home of the opener just before the break.
Despite the fact that the Magpies now controlled the tie after Anthony Gordon added a second, Arthtea is convinced that his side can undo the deficit by going “full gas” in the evening.
He said, “When you compare the emotional state of the team, the way of defeat and how it happened, now it is different.
“We had some great wins, especially the last against Man City. After this game we have a break, it’s full gas. We’ll approach her with the best way to be in that finals.
“These are tough games. We beat them at home quite convincingly last season, but two games this season were very different.”
Howe frustrated by Newcastle window
Arththa is not the only manager to remain frustrated with a transmission window.
Howe managed to spend around £ 45 million on an infarction from the beginning of this season, and one of them was Lloyd Kelly already leaving the club for financial reasons to join Juventus.
Kelly’s sale of £ 20 million Serie A Giants means that the club made up for around £ 100m sales throughout the season – but it remained with a little depth.
“Did I been frustrated yesterday (Monday)? No,” Howe said. “That was long in the making, the window ended up as we expected.
“Different emotions for me, overall, there is an element of frustration that we have not encouraged in a positive way, it is everyone’s goal and ambition.
“But not yesterday a day. It’s more overall feeling, we want the team to move forward and make progress, but we couldn’t do it in this window.”
