Live bar January 15 news The 22nd round of the Premier League in the early morning of Beijing time will stage the North London derby, when Arsenal need to travel to challenge Tottenham Hotspur. For both teams, it will be a crucial battle to compete for the top four. In a press conference ahead of the match, Arsenal boss Arteta talked about the team's preparations, while also answering some questions of great concern to fans and the media.
About the team's injuries
Before the game against Liverpool, we were worried. After this game, we had more problems. We can't assess the squad yet because we couldn't fly last night. We have just arrived at the training base and the lads are well taken care of. So, I don't know what the specific situation really is.
On whether the performance against Liverpool indicates that the team is close to the top
I think we're on the right track. Yesterday we had to go and play a very tough game, we only had 10 men in 70 minutes. But I've seen some very young players on the pitch who have shown great leadership skills. This gives great encouragement because they know what the team needs and dare to take on the challenge. They showed true fighting spirit and resilience.
About Tottenham, coached by Conte
Conte's Tottenham hotspur has a very clear concept of the game, he is a master manager and has achieved great success. There are different ways of playing and philosophy, so it will be a very difficult game. The match in September last year has little reference value, it is a new game and a very important game.
About double kills Tottenham
It's going to be great because I know what it means for everyone at the club and what it means for our fans. And it's also very important for us to get points and succeed.
On what to learn from the game against Liverpool
We proved that we could take a full step back in a race like this. Last night, the resilience we experienced was based on our mental state, our beliefs, and the fact that we never gave up. We dare to take on challenges and do our best.
About Ben White
What I just said applies to Ben White as well. He wasn't Tony Adams, and he couldn't be Tony Adams. He's only been at the club for a few months, but he's already shown something and wants to do his best. He's very demanding of himself and is happy to learn to improve his performance, and I think he's on the right path.
About Ben White and Gabriel's partner
Ben White and Gabriel have had chemistry and we can see that they enjoy playing together. When you want to organise the attack from the backcourt, that can be a huge help to the team.
About the importance of fans during the North London derby
The way the fans supported us last night was truly incredible. At some stages we felt like playing at home and they gave us a huge amount of energy. Against Tottenham, it will be the same.
