I'm very proud of the team, Arteta said. We said before the game, we needed a special performance and we've certainly done that today.
|
|
Every player is very important, every player has a role, Arteta said in response. That role can change throughout the season for different reasons and everybody has to be ready to play.
|
|
First of all, I have to praise the players for the performance, for the game that we just played against a really good opponent, said Arteta.
|
We had the feeling at the end, after it became 3-1 and with the dominant period we had, that we had two massive chances to score the fourth, Arteta said.
|
Of course, his best quality is putting the ball in the back of the net, but he was in those positions many times today, said Arteta.
|
He is that intelligent and that good as a footballer that he can occupy any space, Arteta said. I am more driven to decide where he plays in relation to the players around him than his position.
|
Football gives you another chance, Arteta said. We have been really consistent again in this competition and now we have to knock another big team out to be in the final. Hopefully, we have learned from last year because it was painful, especially in the manner that the games went,...
|
|
He deserved that, basically, Arteta said.
|
|
Ebs has been exceptional when he's played and when he hasn't played – that's a big quality that we have in the squad, Arteta said.
|
|
Every hour for him was important to be able to be available today, Arteta said.
