00:00bench and a part of this squad that you were so keen at the beginning Martin to highlight that
00:05this team needs these replacements and actually is so much better for it yeah and the players have
00:10to buy into it and that's the new competition for places Martinelli such hunger when he came on
00:16completely changed the game tross out assist as well and then he grabbed his goal so that's really
00:21good news for the manager for the club happy days two nil away from home start the Champions League
00:26again as you as obviously very good for Arsenal's point of view last year they want to go one step
00:31further but Martinelli particularly really pleased for him that he's come on he's seen something
00:36similar against Real Madrid when he ran through really done the business for Arsenal tonight
00:41didn't take him long did it 36 seconds he'd been on the pitch no and I'm thrilled to bits for him I
00:45don't really know him but Martin said he's a lovely he's a lovely kid so I'm glad he's got his reward
00:50tonight and tross out because they've been part of the fantasy for a number of years and just because
00:55you get new signings doesn't make them instantly better than what you've already got but it makes
00:59the competition they get stronger and it makes the people who are on the substitute bench more hungry
01:05and all they can do is come onto the pitch and make an impact change the flow of the game and both of
01:11them have come on and done that with all respect Martinelli did more in five minutes than as they did in
01:1660 75 minutes and that's what you want as a manager and as a player because that's what a squad is all
01:21about I expected Arsenal to win comfortably you know to a certain extent they have done
01:26athletic Bilbao athletic club a little bit insipid at times and need a goal scorer so I
01:32fancied Arsenal tonight and they went and got the job done and for those players that started the likes
01:36of Eze I mean for Eze that was his Champions League debut so there's a lot to learn it's a different
01:41stage a hundred percent and you know that obviously the guys who came off the bench were starters last
01:47year they know what it's about so it's newness for Eze and Adewaki you know there's things they can
01:52they can improve upon we know that but the competition is actually driving Arsenal to a
01:57higher level and that's the key thing that everybody buys into it and you hope you end up with something
02:03big at the end of it but this is a really good start that's what will happen with Eze as a will
02:07watch tonight's performance when he goes back and thinks to himself this is a different class of
02:11opposition the quicker the stronger that are faced in the Premier League and with Crystal Palace
02:16and he knows now his level of game will have to jump up you're now playing big boys football in
02:22the Champions League against the best teams around if you want to compete you have to be better and
02:26you have to be quicker than he's shown tonight yeah and those changes all important changes let's
02:30see exactly how they turn them into goals because um Trossard and Martinelli Trossard had only been on the
02:35pitch for just over five minutes and Martinelli at that point for 36 and this Martin was 1-0
02:39yeah um you know it was very direct from Arsenal you know in terms of the way that they played I
02:46mean he's only just come on we're talking about the attitude we have to mention as well Trossard
02:50in all of this because that's a nice little ball he's well aware of the run that he makes
02:55um goalkeeper maybe don't look at this won't look back at this with any fondness but their hunger
03:01to try to make things happen when they come off the pitch sitting on the bench okay boss take a look
03:06at me I've got the pace great little touch and he slots it away um did everything he needed to do
03:13in that moment I talked to him last season about enjoying that being enjoying putting that ball
03:18away at the back at the end of it the top players do that they they sniff a chance but they then put
03:22it in the back of the net and then Martinelli were paid for favour yeah and this was great wasn't it
03:25and look how positive he is Martinelli just using his pace around the defender pulls it back to
03:29Trossard yes they get a slight bit of fortune but you know what they deserved it they were the better
03:35team this is a lovely run by Martinelli and the fact that he's on the pitch you get to goal he gets an
03:40assist he changes the flow of the game he automatically drives Arsenal to the win and it's really nice to
03:46see he's got a point to prove tonight he's shown it Trossard he just delivered it just delayed slightly
03:52and then got the angle he needed to finish it it was important as well Darren Fletcher said it in
03:56commentary look not necessarily the the performance but the result is important yeah three points up
04:01and running in the Champions League that's what you want yeah absolutely three points move forward
04:05you've got a home game against the team you should be beating turn the three into six and keep rolling
04:09forward that's all you can do Moscara as well I want to mention him what a performance the young
04:13lad coming at the back yeah we're talking about centre-half well we've got to haven't we because
04:18I think he deserves it and that defence is important for Arsenal okay guys so uh Arsenal win 2-0
04:24in northern Spain and now focus turns to masses about 200 miles south as the 15-time champions Real
