00:00...en inglés, a los preguntas de español.
00:03Alex.
00:07Hi, Martín.
00:09This is the business end of the season,
00:11so can you use experience
00:12from when you were in this stage
00:15of the competition last season
00:16and previous title challenges
00:18to get over the line this time?
00:21I mean, it's the best part of the season,
00:23so yeah, everyone is up for it.
00:25Everyone is excited.
00:27We know what we play for
00:29and yeah, tomorrow is another great opportunity
00:31for us to do something special
00:33and yeah, we know what's there
00:35and we just have to enjoy it
00:36and be ready for it
00:37and as you said,
00:38take all the lessons you know from the past
00:40and bring it into this end of the season
00:42and I'm sure we're going to do that
00:43and yeah, looking forward to it.
00:47How has this season been for you?
00:49I know you've had to battle back from injury
00:50a couple of times.
00:51We've heard from the manager
00:53throughout the season
00:54about how you've been close to the team
00:55and been playing a big role
00:57even if you haven't been on the pitch
00:58as much as you'd like.
01:00Yeah, no, obviously it's been frustrating
01:03to be away from the pitch.
01:05You know, I love to be on the pitch.
01:06I love to play football.
01:07I want to play every single game
01:08and yeah, it's been challenging
01:11but I think I've just tried
01:13to make the most out of it.
01:14You know, be around the team
01:15as you said
01:15and help in any way I can.
01:18Obviously it's different
01:19when you're not on the pitch
01:20but yeah, I've tried to make
01:22the most out of it
01:22and I think I've done a good job
01:24to stay fit as well
01:25to come back in the best possible condition.
01:28So yeah, just happy to be back now
01:30and doing what I love
01:32and try to help the team
01:33as much as possible on the pitch finally.
01:35Hi there, Martin.
01:38Just picking up on what Alex said there
01:41Declan Rice has actually urged the players
01:42to embrace it and enjoy it.
01:45Is that easier said than done though
01:47given the amount of pressure there's on?
01:49I mean, how can you not enjoy it?
01:51I think we're playing in probably the toughest
01:54and the most competitive league in the world
01:56and we're at the top fighting for the title.
01:59We're in the semifinal in the Champions League.
02:02I mean, for me it's hard to understand
02:04how you can not enjoy that.
02:06That's what we've been dreaming about
02:08the whole life, you know,
02:09since I was a kid.
02:10These are the moments we've been dreaming about,
02:13you know, so for me that's quite easy
02:15and yeah, as I said before
02:17this is the best part of the season
02:19and everyone is ready for it.
02:21Everyone is up for it.
02:22The energy in the group is amazing
02:24and yeah, we're ready for it.
02:26You're so close now
02:27to achieving something extraordinary
02:30in these last few games
02:31but is it challenging
02:33and how challenging is it
02:35to dismiss
02:36the previous near misses
02:38that you've had
02:38in the last few seasons?
02:40I mean, it's always going to be there
02:43until we win it
02:45and that's something you have to live with
02:48and as I said before
02:49we need to take all those experiences
02:51and the lessons, you know,
02:52and use it in a good way.
02:54I think that's the part of football,
02:56that's the part of the journey
02:57and we have to live in the moment,
02:59you know, and at the moment
03:01we're doing really well.
03:02We're in an amazing position
03:03in the league
03:04and in the Champions League
03:05and yeah, that's what we have to focus on
03:07to just look at it
03:08every single day,
03:09every single game,
03:10how we can be at our best
03:12and then we'll see what happens
03:13but we're in a great spot
03:15and we're up for it.
03:18Yes, Sam.
03:19Hi, Martin.
03:20In terms of the midfield
03:21and the chances created,
03:22do you think there needs to be some change
03:24in terms of creating chances for the strikers,
03:26the likes of Victor Jokeres
03:27and the front three
03:28to score more goals?
03:31I mean, there's always something
03:32you can improve
03:34and yeah, something we work on
03:36every single day,
03:37how we can be as dangerous as possible,
03:40how we can create chances,
03:42score goals in many different ways
03:44so yeah, it's definitely something we work on
03:46and yeah, for me personally as well
03:48it's kind of my job, you know,
03:50to feed the players in front of me
03:51and just need to create
03:52a lot of those situations
03:54and as I said,
03:55we're in a great position
03:56and we're doing well
03:57so it can always be better
03:59but we're doing well.
04:01You've had a few injuries this season,
04:02it's been very stop and start
04:03in and out because of the injuries.
04:04What's that been like
04:05to deal with mentally
04:06and just in terms of momentum as well
04:08it must be quite hard
04:09to deal with that.
04:11Yeah, no, for sure.
04:12It's probably the hardest thing
04:13for a game.
04:23You can't be on the pitch
04:24so that's tough
04:26but it's a part of the life
04:28as a footballer,
04:29as an athlete, you know,
04:29you have to deal with those moments
04:31and I think you've got to
04:34see the positive sides,
04:35you've got to see where you can learn
04:37something that you wouldn't
04:39if you were playing all the time,
04:40you know,
04:41and also you get even more hungry,
04:43you know, to get back on the pitch
04:44and yeah, to enjoy it even more,
04:48you know,
04:48so you've got to take the positives
04:49and learn from it.
04:51Phil.
04:52Hi Martin.
04:53Obviously, there's been a lot of noise
04:55around Arsenal
04:55and, you know,
04:56trying to win these trophies
04:58and a lot of your teammates
04:59have said, you know,
04:59they're trying to ignore the noise
05:01or how do you go about
05:03doing that as a player?
05:04I mean, is it a case of,
05:05you know,
05:05you don't look at your phone
05:05or you don't read anything?
05:06And what do you do
05:07when you try to avoid it all?
05:10Yeah, I think for some people
05:11maybe stay away from the phone
05:13but I think in today's society
05:17it's kind of impossible
05:18to not see things
05:19but I think it's just about
05:21being strong mentally
05:22and I feel like we are that.
05:24Just being focused
05:25on the right things,
05:26you know,
05:26as I said,
05:27to live day by day
05:29and game by game
05:30and focus on what we can do
05:31and what we can control
05:32and, yeah,
05:34for us it doesn't matter
05:35what the people say,
05:36we can't control that
05:37but we can work
05:39every single day
05:40the hardest we can
05:41and that's what we're doing
05:42so, yeah,
05:43just keep doing that
05:44and we'll see.
05:46Oh, Sam.
05:51Hi Martin.
05:52You've got potentially
05:53seven games left this season
05:55and that's all that kind of
05:56separates you from being
05:58either the first captain
05:59to win the Champions League
06:00for Arsenal
06:00or the first in 20 years
06:02to win the Premier League.
06:03That kind of gives you
06:05potentially a little
06:06legendary status at the club,
06:07the guy with the armband
06:08lifting the trophy.
06:09How much of an ambition
06:11is that for you?
06:12How much have you thought
06:13about that
06:13and how big is that opportunity
06:15on a personal level?
06:16Yeah, no,
06:17it's massive for all of us.
06:19As I said,
06:20we're in a great position
06:22as you say,
06:23you know,
06:23to make history
06:23and that's what we want to do.
06:25I've been this club
06:27for a while now
06:27and I've seen
06:28and I've seen the progression
06:29since I first came
06:31and how much we've improved
06:32and the steps we've taken
06:33and it's been amazing
06:35to be a part of that
06:36and for sure
06:37we want to take that last step
06:38and do something really big
06:40and yeah,
06:42that's the biggest goal,
06:43the biggest dream
06:44and that's what we're all working
06:45towards every single day.
06:48We'll go over here, Charlie.
06:49Martin,
06:50because there's so much focus
06:52on the league,
06:53the Premier League,
06:53winning the Premier League
06:54amongst supporters,
06:55would you agree
06:56there's less pressure
06:58on you in this tournament
06:59in the Champions League
07:00because many fans
07:01don't really expect you to win
07:03whereas,
07:04you know,
07:05they are demanding
07:07for you to win
07:08the Premier League
07:08so in a funny sort of way,
07:09is that helping you at all?
07:11We want to win
07:12every single game,
07:13we want to win
07:14every single trophy
07:14so for us
07:16it doesn't change too much.
07:17Our focus is
07:18about winning tomorrow
07:19and then we'll look
07:21for the next game
07:22after that
07:22so yeah,
07:24I understand the question
07:25but for us
07:26it doesn't really matter.
07:27We want to win
07:28every single time we play
07:29and yeah,
07:30that's the focus
07:30so for us
07:31it's all about tomorrow
07:32and getting a win
07:33and then yeah,
07:34go back home.
07:35And what can you take
07:36from the fact
07:37that Atletico
07:37do seem to be
07:38a little bit out of form?
07:41No,
07:41it's a great team,
07:42it's a strong team,
07:43very competitive,
07:44you know,
07:45and they work
07:46with this manager
07:46for a long time
07:47and yeah,
07:49really,
07:49really strong team
07:51in a great stadium
07:52with their fans,
07:52you know,
07:53they're strong at home
07:53so it's going to be
07:54a great battle
07:55and yeah,
07:56just looking forward to it.
07:59Hi Martin,
07:59you just mentioned
08:00Simeone there
08:01who's been here
08:01for a long time.
08:02You obviously
08:02would have played
08:03against him
08:03when you were in Spain.
08:04Have you seen
08:05any change
08:06between that Atletico
08:07and this
08:08because there is
08:08maybe a perception
08:09they've evolved
08:10or are different?
08:12Yeah,
08:13I mean,
08:13they've always been
08:14a really,
08:14really competitive team
08:15and you know,
08:17always fighting
08:18for titles
08:20and big games
08:21like this,
08:21they're always up for it
08:22and it's a strong team
08:24and they can probably
08:25play in more ways
08:28now than before
08:30but yeah,
08:31I think the foundation
08:31is there,
08:32you know,
08:32a really competitive team
08:33and a strong group,
08:36you know,
08:36so yeah,
08:37looking forward
08:37to face that.
08:38And just lastly,
08:39what do you think
08:39of the kind of form
08:41of Griezmann
08:41given how he's been
08:42this season,
08:43how he himself
08:44has evolved,
08:44especially ahead of his
08:45last few weeks
08:47at the club?
08:48He's a great player
08:49and someone I've watched
08:50a lot,
08:51you know,
08:51in the last years
08:53and someone I admire
08:54a lot,
08:55you know,
08:55so a great player
08:56and yeah,
08:58hopefully we can keep
08:58him quiet tomorrow
08:59but he's a good player.
09:01We'll come down
09:02to the front,
09:02sorry.
09:03Thank you.
09:05Hi,
09:06Martin.
09:07Back-to-back Champions League
09:08semi-finals
09:09is some feat
09:10regardless
09:10but as a player
09:11in the dressing room
09:13what's the
09:15mentality like
09:16from a mentality
09:17aspect of the players
09:18and going one step
09:19further than last season?
09:21Yeah,
09:21that's what we want.
09:23As I said,
09:23we want to win
09:24every single game
09:25we play
09:25and every trophy
09:27we fight for
09:28we want to win it
09:29so that's the mindset
09:30that yeah,
09:31we always want to win
09:32when we play
09:33and of course
09:35we want to do
09:37something more
09:37than last year.
09:38Last year was
09:38out in the semi-final
09:40and so yeah,
09:41we want to go
09:42further this year
09:43and show that
09:43we've improved
09:44and that we've
09:46learned from it
09:46so that's the mindset.
09:49Hallo,
09:50how important do you think
09:51it's for your own
09:52reputation
09:52as an Arsenal captain
09:54that this season
09:55ends with at least
09:56one title?
09:58Well,
09:59it's important
09:59for all of us
10:01you know,
10:01it's the same for me
10:02as the other players
10:04and as I said
10:06I think the most
10:07important thing
10:08is to be in the moment
10:09to live day by day
10:11game by game
10:12and try not to think
10:13too far ahead
10:16of course
10:16we all want to win it
10:18but to be able to do that
10:20we need to focus on
10:20the next game
10:21and that's tomorrow
10:21so yeah,
10:23that's the mindset
10:23we want to win tomorrow
10:24and then keep going
10:27from there.
10:27You're facing
10:28Alexander Zerlot tomorrow
10:29what's been said
10:30between you guys
10:31and how important
10:32is that before the World Cup
10:33coming up
10:33this summer
10:34to win that duel?
10:36No,
10:37we want to win of course
10:38so it'll be good
10:39to play against him
10:39he's done really well
10:40for them
10:42scoring a lot of goals
10:43you know
10:43he's a strong player
10:44so yeah,
10:45it'll be good to see him
10:46but as I said
10:47about Griezmann
10:47hopefully we can
10:48keep him quiet
10:49tomorrow as well.
10:50do the last one
10:51from English
10:51so James
10:52Martin,
10:53second consecutive
10:54semi-final
10:55do you think
10:56you're a better team
10:56this year
10:57than last year
10:58and if so,
10:59why?
11:00Yeah,
11:00I think so
11:00I think we're
11:01stronger in different ways
11:04obviously we have
11:05some new players
11:06in as well
11:07and I feel like
11:08we're stronger
11:09and I feel like
11:09we've learned
11:10from all those
11:10experiences last year
11:11and probably
11:13even more prepared
11:14now for this
11:16so yeah,
11:17I feel like we're
11:17stronger in many
11:18different ways
11:18and I feel like
11:20we're up for it
11:22and we're ready
11:23to go.
11:24And just finally
11:24I know you focus
11:25on the game
11:26but there has been
11:27a bit of speculation
11:27about your future
11:28about whether you
11:29could potentially
11:30leave Arsenal
11:30this summer
11:31can you just
11:32clear that up for us
11:33how you feel
11:33about it all?
11:34Well,
11:35I don't know
11:35where that's
11:36coming from
11:37yeah,
11:38my mindset
11:38is just about
11:40doing what I can
11:41every single day
11:41to do something special
11:44and there's always
11:45going to be talk
11:46and people speculating
11:47and I guess
11:48that's normal
11:48in football
11:49but yeah,
11:50that's not something
11:51that I know
11:53anything about.
11:54We'll go in the middle.
11:56Hi, Martin.
11:57Hello.
11:57I imagine it's only
11:58natural when this
12:00stage of the season
12:01arrives that
12:03nervousness and
12:03anxiety kick in
12:05but at the same time
12:06a degree of pride
12:08and confidence
12:09from what you have
12:10achieved so far
12:11in the balance
12:13between nervousness
12:14and confidence
12:15where are you
12:16at at the minute?
12:19For the team
12:19you mean
12:19or are you saying
12:20the team?
12:21Yeah,
12:21no,
12:22as I said before
12:22we're really confident
12:23we have full belief
12:24in what we're doing
12:26and as I said
12:27the energy in the group
12:28is great
12:28we're in a great position
12:31and yeah,
12:32we're ready for tomorrow
12:33so all is good
12:34and we're ready to go.
12:35We'll do the last one
12:36at the back here.
12:39Martin,
12:40over here
12:40to your left.
12:42Yes,
12:43Martin,
12:44I want to find out
12:45you look,
12:46when you're in the team
12:46the team looks more
12:48connected in the final third
12:50but you've been struggling
12:51with injuries
12:51these last few seasons.
12:53How much responsibility
12:54not only as a captain
12:55but as a creative force
12:56do you feel to be on the pitch
12:57regardless of all the injuries
12:59that you've been through
13:00and the team is going through
13:00at the moment?
13:02Yeah,
13:02that's what I want
13:03to be important for the team
13:05to help the team
13:05as I said before
13:06to create chances
13:07and score goals
