Mikel Arteta: Same Interview, 5 Years Later

[@Ladtyuven223]

This man made me fall back in love with football again, honestly. I lost my Dad during Covid, he was only 49 and I just felt lost, had no direction, no hobbies, everything felt like a chore. Still loved my club, and tried to watch every match. I remember around the point that North London Forever became a thing - taking the trip down to London and singing that song, everything just felt different, sounds cheesy but it’s like I remembered what it felt like to love and be part of a family again. And that’s because of Arteta mainly, he’s the guy that turned Arsenal around, I’ll forever be thankful for it ❤️

[@hayesy9693]

Big love to you, wish you all the luck in the world ❤

[@carlosaguilera3520]

Same here. It was tough after Wenger but he has got us all together again. He will have his own chapter in our history ♥️

[@mahersinno7141]

Bro you’re such a legend and I have goosebumps just reading your message. People will never understand how great of a job this manager has done for all of us and his success will be rewarded whether if it’s now or in the future

[@buyaqub]

I feel every gooner is sort of a one big family because of what we have been gone through, and the hatred we are facing, we understand each other’s , we carry a big love to this club.

[@batman4751]

Your the kind of mediocre fan that made VARSENAL SIGN FARTETA

[@suieful7948]

I don’t think rivals fans will ever get it! They just want to see us back in our banter era! The way Arsenal turned around (without trophies currently yes) has been remarkable and something we didn’t even imagine! Challenging and looking a stable dominant side!! We are soo much happier NOW seeing how our team plays (good bad ugly) than what we went through towards the end of Wenger and post Wenger! It was horrendous and I’d rather have this feeling watching Arsenal who are trying for trophies (even if we haven’t won yet ) and support this team than anything else! Arteta is THE for that reason and the players are playing for Arsenal through HIM!! his energy and his coaching

Vision, but more importantly wisdom by which one can attain said vision, is like a lamp that lights the path for a man, once one has that, one simply follows along with the necessary work and efforts demanded. We all need that wisdom.

Not only has Arteta changed the club I think I speak for every dedicated fan when I say he's inspired lives too. I watch all his pressers and his passion and honesty and drive the way he's changed the club and the way he inspires belief is transcendent. Thanks gaffer.

[@cmatis]

When going through the list of managers back in 2019 on who would succeed Emery, honestly Arteta felt underwhelming. THEN, I heard his first interview, and at that moment I knew he would be my manager. Standards, belief, energy, commitment, loyalty. COYG. Thank you Mikel for believing in this club, reviving its potential, and teaching us to enjoy the journey with the people beside us.

[@MrBlazer3585]

I said it to my Spurs friends a couple seasons ago....what Arteta has done is get the fan base on board, from allowing North London Forever to ring out, and just getting the philosophy saying the right things, clear with the identity. And he must have done a number on the board because the backing was immense (board engagement and sentiment with fans was non existent) This was before our close title runs. They thought I was talking of him like a Messiah..and well yeah I don't think now people can argue that he kind of is. Hasn't won anything yet but can't enjoy more or be any prouder of him, the players and club! The Arsenal blood will forever run through these stones and these Arsenal fans, because it has through Mikel Lego Arteta!

[@Arsenal1414coyg]

Mentality. 💯

[@cheeky1733]

As a Arsenal fan of over 40 years I've fallen back in Love with the club, even through the "banter" era I stuck by this club through thick and thin, but the current era is beautiful to watch. Arteta has developed this team into a true contender, there is still work to be done but we are in a very good place. The squad in general is the strongest we have had since the invincible era, all of our best players are tied down on long contracts, we have some top class young players coming through the academy, Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly being the pick of the bunch. Regarding Arteta, I think he is one of the best young managers around, he is up there in the same bracket as Alonso for me. Let's hope all this great hard work comes to fruition this season, the team deserves a big trophy for the performances and results over the past year. COYG

[@ossnips9329]

As a Arsenal fan, Arteta has changed Arsenal completely for the better. He has made the fans fall back in love with the club and everyone is together and connected

Ngl was very skeptical when he first arrived. Was even more in doubt with the whole Xhaka/Aubameyang/Özil/Captaincy situations, divided locker room, etc. But this guy for good or for bad has at least restored the team to compete, got rid of the corrosion and he’s submerged the players in the club values. Titles haven’t arrived yet, but We went from just playing every week to play to win every week.
