“He’s there. Arteta told Sky Sports News Dharmesh Sheth that he was always with me at the Arsenal training grounds.
“I would not be here without him. I wouldn’t have the ability to live at this football club if he hadn’t lived what he did and instilled in me.
“Arsene has such a charisma and personality as a human being that he lives in your house. He’s always here. If I want to think and reflect about something, I always look back at that time: How would he have done it? What would he analyse before making that decision?
Then, it’s all up to your personality and what you feel is best.

“And also what Pep taught to me.” What my father and mother taught me. All of us are made up from our experiences and references in life. It’s the same with my spouse.”I’d love to sit in your seat, and treat you the same as I would if you were in my chair.When I think about a particular player, I think to myself: Let me sit in his seat, and see what he feels. You’d probably have a much better understanding of the situation.”When asked whom Arteta goes to when he wants a leader, Arsenal manager responds: “Especially the player.”They’re the ones I go to when I’m feeling down or lacking in confidence.
