00:00The Arsenal players, because we didn't see it on the camera, going into your half of the pitch.
00:03It wasn't the players. I'm respectful.
00:08When you warm up, you have your half, you have a team, have their half.
00:12I've never asked my team or my coaches to encroach on the opposition's territory.
00:17In that moment, I didn't think it was right where they were operating in terms of
00:22they were affecting my lads' warm-up and my staff's warm-up.
00:26So I asked them, maybe not politely, to make sure they stay in their half.
00:30I'm not here to have mind games or it's just what I think is right and respectful.
00:35And hopefully we respect that and other teams do too.
00:39I think there's certain etiquettes in football.
00:41I always try and be as respectful as possible. I always want to win.
00:45I've never asked my coaches and I don't have an issue with anyone at Arsenal Football Club.
00:50A fantastic manager, Mikael, is someone I've got so much respect for.
00:54It was just in that moment, I didn't think that respect was shown to my team.
