00:00 Is that a reward for perseverance?
00:07 Yes, I'm really happy with the performance and obviously with the results.
00:12 And I was still in our tummy what happened here last year and we wanted to put it right.
00:17 We wanted to generate some momentum now in the league.
00:20 I think we've got that and the performance was very good.
00:23 I thought we completely dominated the game.
00:25 We have to be patient, but we always have an eye to hurt the opponent.
00:29 We didn't allow them to run and we were able to generate chances in various ways,
00:34 which is really pleasing to see for the team.
00:37 I think we showed a lot of maturity to deal with the game in the way that we had to.
00:42 But in the last three or four minutes, we conceded a goal and then you have to suffer in this league.
00:46 We talked about it before the game yesterday.
00:49 How much did you use the motivation from the last two defeats here?
00:53 I really needed it because I could feel it.
00:57 They were talking about it coming to that dressing room.
01:00 It already reminds you, our brains and bodies are really intelligent.
01:04 And when they come to the same situation, they know what happened.
01:08 And they were really active.
01:10 They were really engaged.
01:10 They were talking about the game with each other.
01:12 I thought the team was really good.
01:14 Question here.
01:15 Hi.
01:17 In the first half, Arsenal players seemed to be a little bit too hesitant in front of the goal.
01:21 And in the second half, players have turned more determined.
01:24 So, during halftime, what happened?
01:26 What did you say to them?
01:27 To continue to do that, to have a lot of discipline in what we want to do and to be more perseverant,
01:33 more consistent and to take chances, to be positive and go for it.
01:38 And the spaces are minimal when you have that many players around the box and the density that they are able to generate on both sides.
01:45 It is very difficult to break them down.
01:47 But at the end, we find a way.
01:49 Was it a real surprise to start the season with a person who was out of the ward for the players he had off the bench?
01:57 And also, how did he keep it on?
01:58 I thought he was really good.
02:00 I think he looked exactly the same as he looks in training.
02:03 And every time that we have put him in this year, he fully deserves the chance.
02:07 He's put his head down.
02:09 He's worked so hard.
02:10 He's actually just been pretty good.
02:12 And he's a tremendous player.
02:14 And you see the way he moves.
02:15 It's just a joy to watch him.
02:16 You spoke about perseverance on the team.
02:18 Is there a player that symbolises that more than Gaviria Zuzonti?
02:21 He missed a chance just before he came back to the post and then got something wrong.
02:25 Yeah, but Gaviria started to win the game two days ago because he had a slight issue with the knee.
02:29 And everybody was trying to protect him and not go outside.
02:32 And he said, "I'm there.
02:33 Minus two, minus one.
02:34 I want to train.
02:35 I want to be with the team.
02:36 I want to win the game for the team."
02:38 And when someone has this attitude, good things are going to happen.
02:42 And I'm really pleased with him.
02:43 Is that a concern? I think you said he hasn't flew on his knee.
02:47 Is that a concern for this weekend or if he can for every game?
02:50 I don't know.
02:51 Well, he got hit a big time in the last game and his knee reacted a little bit.
02:55 Obviously, it's the knee that he had before.
02:57 But he was super positive.
02:59 He was feeling good and he looks so sharp in training.
03:01 So I'm not surprised about what happened tonight.
03:04 Do you think sometimes your players are guilty of trying to score the perfect goal?
03:08 You can see what patterns in the first half, trying to do what you want to do.
03:13 But your two goals came from a throw-in and a counter.
03:16 That's the thing you were thinking when you said he flew on his knee.
03:19 Yeah, we hit the post.
03:20 We hit this where Gabi has two headers that are there.
03:23 Emil has another one.
03:24 Martin has two chances that he doesn't end up with a shot.
03:27 Bukayo has two or three again.
03:29 Yes, and the ugly goal and bouncing ball, it can happen.
03:33 But they have to make those decisions.
03:35 I don't know how to teach them to kick it there and rebound and go there.
03:39 I think they were really good.
03:40 I love it.
03:47 I love it because they demand each other more and they are not happy the way they conceived
03:51 that and they are just trying to resolve it.
03:55 It was a bit heated, but that means that it's not enough.
03:59 Playing the way we played, the result has to be bigger and the clinch has to be there.
04:03 That's something you like.
04:05 Yes.
04:06 Just with Gabriel, to have a goal line and assist today, is that basically the perfect
04:13 Gabriel performance, giving you some unselfishness and work for the team?
04:17 Yeah, but he did the same against Palace.
04:19 He had an assist.
04:20 He could have scored two or three goals that day.
04:22 He didn't go today.
04:23 He could have scored another one that he deposed, the other header that he had as well.
04:27 But his general activity, when he had to lean play, he needed to generate control.
04:32 He needed to generate chaos.
04:33 When he needed to generate that magic moment, he was there.
04:36 I thought he was really good.
04:39 How can you take this victory and confidence into the match on Sunday?
04:48 That's what we're going to try to do.
04:49 We have some momentum now in terms of performance and results.
04:53 Go, go, go.
04:56 We have a beautiful game to play ahead of us and make sure everybody is ready for it.
05:01 Thanks, Arnaud.
05:02 Yeah, thank you.
05:03 Thank you.
05:05 Thank you.
05:06 Thank you.
05:07 Thank you.
05:08 Thank you.
05:09 Thank you.
05:10 Thank you.
