Mikel Arteta hopes his secret dossier on Marcelo Bielsa will get Arsenal back on the winning track in Leeds today and help captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang start scoring again.
The rookie Arsenal manager faces management legend Bielsa for the first time, but claims he has the inside court.
“I haven’t spent time with him, but I know a lot of players (who have played for him) and one of my best friends spent many, many years with him,” revealed Arteta. So I know a lot about his methods, who he is as a person, who he is also as a coach and I admire him.
“ I have followed his work, his way of playing, the way in which he is able to change a football club immediately with his mentality and the messages he sends, with his personality, charisma, and I was very impressed by what he has done. in England since joining Leeds.
“It has transformed the club. It has transformed the belief of everyone at the club, the fans, that they could come back and be the club that they were a few years ago. ”
When asked to identify his informant from Bielsa, Arteta replied intriguingly: “I’d rather not say, but they worked as a player and then alongside him.”
Either way, Arteta is looking for a positive response from a humiliated winger at home to Aston Villa before the international break.
And without the injured Thomas Partey to lift his spirits, Arteta wants to help Aubameyang improve on his return from just one goal in open play from the first game of a season in which he has only had ten shots on target.
Arteta admitted: ‘We have to help him more. I think he also knows what he can do and what he needs to improve in his game to be more decisive.
‘Will come. I have not met any forward in the world who for 10 years has never had a period where he is not scoring so much.
It’s the way you navigate that period and how quickly you get back to what you’ve always done. For them that is normal.
“Just taking a natural path without putting too much pressure on yourself, and us as coaches finding ways to help him as much as we can.”
Arteta is open to restoring the Gabon international to a central role and playing a new line-up to fight Leeds as well.
He explained: ‘I think we have players who are very good at running behind and using the spaces when they are open, and you create the situations with advantages for the player with the ball to generate and exploit those spaces.’
