Arteta: I need some time to relax, and I believe the team management will make the right decision

May 26 According to London Football Network, Arteta was interviewed by reporters after Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Southampton.

Regarding the performance of this season, I'm glad we ended the game with a victory and we hope that by the end of this season there will be a positive energy and a good atmosphere in the locker room. Plus, we have to say goodbye to some players who won’t be with us next season, which is very touching and I think they deserve our appreciation and a good atmosphere. We have done that, and now we will have enough time to think about and analyze what happened this season, learn from it, draw on all the positive things the team has done this season, and then think about how to make up for that little bit of lack and achieve what we want.

A lot of people are discussing what these percentages might be and how Arsenal can take these steps. You may not know that Arsenal has not seen a double-digit scorer in the league in nearly 100 years. To achieve this, a lot of things need to happen. The team needs support, and the players also need to play a certain number of games and time. Trust me, we are working hard. We will do everything possible to make the club more successful. But what I want to say is that everything these lads have done this season, and considering what happened, I think they deserve a lot of praise.

The goal about Tierney's

The goal of Tierney is great. He said yesterday that he would score in the last Arsenal game and he did. So he deserves praise, especially thanks to him. He was part of this journey and he won honors with me. Although he had returned to Real Sociedad briefly, working with him was a joy. He is a very special person and we wish him and his family all the best. The doors of the club are always open to him. He is very popular in the club and in the locker room and we hope he goes well.

Regarding the team's injury situation

To be honest, we have been working hard to get Calafiori back to health so that he can play in the last few games. His injury recovered about two weeks faster than expected, but he has been feeling uncomfortable in the last week or two and has struggled in many places. Yes, they wanted to keep playing, but we decided to give him a break, he needed a break. He needs to make sure there is a good preparation period and a clear preseason to give him the best chance to succeed next season.

About the fans

First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the fans, whose support for the team and clubs throughout the season is incredible. Both at home and in European arena, their enthusiasm and support are unparalleled. I hope they can be proud because this team has gone all out. I'm sure they've put their best in it without a trace of reservation. Hopefully they will recognize the achievements we have made and the changes we have brought to the club. Next, we need to work together to take the next step to achieve that small but critical progress, we need to remain positive and enthusiastic about the future and face everything constructively.

Regarding the next plan

I think I need some time to relax because I have learned from the past few summers how to avoid being sucked by these things too much energy. We have some really good people who I totally trust. I know what we have to do, I will be on standby 24 hours a day and they know that no matter where I am. However, we also need to readjust. This season has been very tough for us, both emotionally and handling the expectations of the team and club.

Regarding expectations for next season

We have begun discussions and decisions, and the preseason and early weeks of the season have been completed two or three months ago. So we feel good now. I felt goosebumps and excitement as I started thinking about these. This is a very good sign. We know your plan is very organized.
