Arteta sarcastically thanks the EFA for making Arsenal play 2 games in 3 days

The last few days have not been pleasant for Arteta and Arsenal as they lost to Liverpool 2-0 and their 4 game, 4 win streak was also stopped. Although they did have some bright spots like the absolute gem of a performance by Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard.

Now they have to play Aston Villa again at Villa Park on March 19. In response to this congestion of parties, Arteta sarcastically thanked the EFA for this congestion of parties.

“Many thanks to the Premier League”, exclaims Arteta

Arteta, who confirmed that the club had raised the issue with the Premier League, said: “Many thanks to the Premier League for doing that. And they have done it again when we have to play against Chelsea and Manchester United. So if they want to give them an edge, I say to them today, ‘Thank you very much for doing that.’

“Don’t worry, the players will be there on Saturday, with energy. They will eat, they will sleep well, but many thanks to the Premier League for putting on props like this. Very very useful.

“That’s not fair. It’s not fair what they’ve done. It’s always BT, it’s Sky, it’s this, it’s that, but it’s Arsenal that gets affected, and the only thing that matters to me and to us is Arsenal. And for Arsenal, it’s not fair.”

While pondering how this would be a common occurrence if they qualify for the UCL next season, Arteta also said: I know the only chance we have is to win an unbelievable number of football games because our opponents win an unbelievable number of football games. In recent years, we have pushed each other to insane levels. It makes each game more difficult, you can enjoy it but you have to be prepared for the intensity.

“We are in a good moment, in a good mood”, confirms Arteta

“I don’t think it’s a problem that a human being every three days is focused on what he does, but then comes the physical part. We don’t fight City, we play Town in three or four weeks and we will give them a proper fight, but apart from that we are in a good moment, in a good mood, but we know that the only way we can do it is to dig very deep.

Arsenal have their work cut out for them if they want to maintain their fourth place in the Premier League table, which would secure a UCL place for the Gunners for the first time since 2016 when they lost to Barcelona.

The Gunners have been the beneficiaries of a very relaxed run of games so far in 2022, playing only more than one game in a week on a couple of occasions, when they had both Carabao Cup semi-final games to go. , where they were also beaten by the Reds on aggregate.
