What I learned from Wenger – Mikel Arteta

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta admits Arsene Wenger has had a big influence on his coaching.

Wenger had a statue of himself unveiled at Emirates stadium yesterday.

Arteta said: “I learned so much from him and if I had to pick one of his many great values, it is how loyal he was and how much he defended the club, its players and football in general.

“The passion he has for the game is just phenomenal and you could see that. He really wanted to respect the game and he wanted it to be played in a certain way. Also, the way he always put the club in front of any personal interest at all times is something that I have tried to learn from him.

“The way he defended the club, the way he presented himself, the way he was loyal to the players and his staff is something that I really took from him. He is an example for me.”
