Under fire Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that the enormous pressure and criticism he faces are part of the job.
A greater number of Arsenal fans mourned Arteta’s dismissal after the Gunners lost to Burnley 1-0 last Sunday, marking a fourth winless game in the Premier League for Arsenal.
So what is the Spaniard’s response as he prepares his team for the Southampton visit on Wednesday?
“This is our reality right now and we have to face it being brave, fighting and without anyone giving up. It is not time to hide, it is time to put your face and your body at stake,” said Arteta through Sky. .
“At the moment, I’m sorry, but we have to take the bullets. We are not winning football games and you have to put your chest there. Hit me, because you have the right to hit me because we are not winning.”
“What else can I do? Lower my head, work harder and try to improve.
“It’s natural. I accept it and it’s part of the job. When you’re not getting results, it’s the manager who has the maximum responsibility. That’s why I accept because you can say whatever you want to explain, but in the end, you have to win football games.
“This club is too big to accept so many defeats in recent weeks. My chest is here, hit me guys,” concluded Arteta.
Southampton will come to the Emirates after two consecutive victories over Brighton and Sheffield United, where they scored five goals and conceded one.
