The Spanish defender is encouraged by the progress being made with Mikel Arteta and accepts that he will suffer the occasional setback.
Héctor Bellerin believes that Arsenal need to suffer losses to learn, with the “new identity” being rebuilt by Mikel Arteta it is not about to fall into place “overnight”.
The Gunners have made positive progress with Arteta, as the successes of the FA Cup and Community Shield have been savored, while they have secured two Premier League victories and a place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup in 2020-21.
Momentum was halted a bit by a 3-1 loss to Liverpool on Monday, showing just how far the north London team has yet to go, but Bellerin sees plenty of reason for optimism.
He told the Gunners official website after taking off at Anfield: “I think we are working very, very well.
“I think that when you build a new identity, a new way of playing football, it is not something that happens overnight. It is something that takes a long time, takes losses, takes victories, requires a lot of learning.
“We have new players who have arrived this season and they need to get used to the system. So there are many things, but I think we can say that the fight we threw [against Liverpool]In that sense I am very proud of the guys and we look forward to the next game that is played here.
“We know that we are working very, very well, so we are not going to let this affect us.”
Arsenal will return to Merseyside for their next outing on Thursday, when they face Liverpool again with a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-final at stake.
Bellerin could figure once again in that contest, with Spain’s international right back still regaining match sharpness on the back of a 2019 cruciate ligament injury in his knee.
He added: “Yes, I feel like coming back from my long-term injury was very difficult for me.
“I felt like once I got back, my knee felt good, but actually my body in general was not in the same place it was before the injury and I felt that during the confinement I had the opportunity to focus on myself and do the dirty work. , How would you say.
“I have come back much stronger, I kept working during the summer and now I feel that I have returned to how I felt two minutes before that injury.
“So it feels good to me. But the most important thing is that the team plays better and better and that is what makes me happy ”.
