Every word of Mikel's pre-Liverpool presser

   
    
  
   
    
  
   
    
  


Mikel Arteta has held his pre-Liverpool press conference at the Sobha Realty Training Centre.
The boss was asked all about the latest team news, Sunday’s big game against the league leaders and much more.
Here is everything he had to say on the following subjects…
on updates on Jesus and Partey:
Yeah, Gabi obviously played and trained with us the whole week. With Thomas, unfortunately, we had a little setback a few days ago, so he’s not going to be available to be in the squad. Whether that’s a matter of days or weeks, we’ll see but he had a little thing.
on Thomas’ setback:
I’m not a doctor but I’ll try to [explain]! He felt something again in a very similar area and he wasn’t able to train the last few days.
On Sunday’s game against Liverpool:
What we need to do is play the way we played in the last two games against them, and be more efficient in the areas that are going to decide the game. [I’m] very excited, it’s always great to prepare a game against Liverpool; how good they are, they dominate every aspect of the game. We play at home, and what I sense is a real sense of positivity and enthusiasm around the place.
on how well equipped we are going into these big games:
Obviously, we had some big experiences and what we did last season was another big step. This year, what we’re trying to do, is something even better, and we are in the Champions League as well, which is a big step, and yeah, the squad is better. It’s true that we had some very important injuries, but I think the squad has managed that really well.
on our FA Cup game against Liverpool and if we’re in a better place now:
In terms of the team performance, very similar. Obviously, we had an opportunity to refresh and reconnect again when we went to Dubai. And then we had a long period as well between the Palace and Forest games, and my feeling is that we continue to play really well. Obviously, we were much more efficient in the final third and that’s very helpful to win football matches.
on players fighting with each other:
You don’t argue with somebody that you don’t have a great relationship [with]. That happens because you have the trust and the chemistry to react with somebody the way he did.
on needing that sort of behaviour in the team:
I love it. As long as it’s [done] in a respectful way, and only with intention to be more demanding and better as a team, and it stays there, I’m very happy with that.
on if a win against Liverpool would provide confidence and momentum:
Yes, and we have done it. This season, we have beaten big teams already and it’s another opportunity to beat Liverpool now and be in a much better place. We talk about momentum; we’ve won the last two games and want to win the third one, especially at home with our people. It’s going to be an incredible atmosphere, and we’re going to need that, so I encourage everybody to do that, to play every single ball with us, and if we do that, we’re going to have a big chance to win the game.
on if Liverpool are more determined to end the season well with Klopp leaving:
I don’t have a clue, hopefully not.
on what he would think in that position:
I don’t know, I’m not in that position so I have enough to understand how we feel in our position.
on if he will miss Klopp:
Absolutely, I think he’s going to be a big loss. As I’ve said before, he’s been an inspiration, he’s someone that has added a new dimension to the Premier League, [he’s instilled] a really attractive and inspiring way of playing, [how he’s] set up teams, and building a team and transforming a club as well. He will be missed but, for now, he’s here.
on if we have lost unpredictability from last season:
There are moments where you provoke certain things and other things where the opponent’s behaviour dictates what the game requires and what you can do. We are still the team that defended against more deep blocks last season, it’s nothing new, and still we score goals in different ways in the last two weeks as well which is great to see so the team has dominated every aspect of the game. We are conceding less than last season and obviously are generating more. It has to be seen in the scoreline and that’s the challenge.
on why we haven’t signed a forward in January:
If we win on Sunday and score a lot of goals? I think like this. I love my players and I think that on Sunday we’re going to score goals and they’re going to be top and they fully deserve all our credit because of the way they are.
on why it’s good to see teammates fighting with each other:
Maybe we have a different understanding of what the word fight means, or a conversation, a little bit heated, a little bit emotional at the end of the game when you’re at 200 beats a minute. It’s normal, nothing new. I want to see passion, commitment from my players and for my players to have the desire always to be better. In order to do that we have to be demanding with each other. If not it’s Disneyland.
on if we lose means we are out of the title race:
I don’t know. My mindset is to win it and I’m in that frame at the moment.
on if it’s a must not lose match:
No. It’s a game that we want to win and we have to earn the right to win it. In order to do that we’re going to have to do so many good things because there’s a reason why they are there but as well there’s a reason why we are where we are.
on many clubs not signing players in the January window:
Maybe there is not a player in the market that can really make a difference or the impact you need, if you’re able to recruit him.
on looking at beating Man City as an example of how we can win big games:
Yes or Manchester United or Brighton or when we played here last season against Liverpool. We’ve done it many times and tomorrow is a different game and the team looks really ready and prepared, it’s really looking forward to the game. We know that the stadium is going to be fully with us as well and we want those days. We want those afternoons with our supporters where we have challenging things and the next game is a big one.
on Partey not being able to stay fit:
It’s a big concern because he’s such an important player for us and he was getting some momentum at the start of the season and then we lost him for a while. Now it’s been a long time without him and he gives us something very different that no other player can give us in the squad. He’s been a real miss.
on why the injuries happen:
They’ve been different kind of injuries. Not everything is about luck but there are a lot of things that are very difficult to control as well. The player has a history where he had some issues in the past but we have to try to protect him and do everything that we can to try to avoid it again.
on the Sobha Realty Training Centre:
We just want to welcome Sobha Realty to our football club. I think it’s going to be a great way for us to evolve the facilities and the updates that we need around the place to improve performance and make this place more special. We have some necessities and they’re going to be really helpful to fulfil that.
on Lino Sousa leaving on deadline day:
It was a club decision and obviously he had a really particular situation with his contract. There’s been a lot of talk about it and the club believe it was the best decision to do that and I supported that decision.
on the willingness to give young players a chance:
We certainly want to do that. First of all we need to produce those talents and they have to earn it and secondly they have to be in the positions that we need fulfilling. Everything has to come together and we are working on that. We have a few prospects which are not far away, but the reality is we want more. Today, to give the opportunities to play in the first team at the level required, we are a bit short.

Here is everything he had to say on the following subjects…
以下是他就以下主题发表的全部言论……
on updates on Jesus and Partey:
关于热苏斯和帕蒂的情况：
Yeah, Gabi obviously played and trained with us the whole week. With Thomas, unfortunately, we had a little setback a few days ago, so he’s not going to be available to be in the squad. Whether that’s a matter of days or weeks, we’ll see but he had a little thing.
是的，加布里埃尔整个星期都和我们一起训练。不幸的是，托马斯几天前有点伤病，所以他不会参加球队的比赛。这是几天还是几周的问题，我们会看到的，但他有点问题。
on Thomas’ setback:
关于托马斯的伤病：
I’m not a doctor but I’ll try to [explain]! He felt something again in a very similar area and he wasn’t able to train the last few days.
我不是医生，但我会试着解释！他在一个非常相似的区域又感觉到了什么，并且他不能在过去的几天里训练。
On Sunday’s game against Liverpool:
关于周日对阵利物浦的比赛：
What we need to do is play the way we played in the last two games against them, and be more efficient in the areas that are going to decide the game. [I’m] very excited, it’s always great to prepare a game against Liverpool; how good they are, they dominate every aspect of the game. We play at home, and what I sense is a real sense of positivity and enthusiasm around the place.
我们需要做的是按照我们最近两场比赛的方式去踢，并在决定比赛结果的方面提高效率。我非常兴奋，准备一场对阵利物浦的比赛总是很棒的；他们有多好，他们在比赛的每一个方面都占据主导地位。我们在主场作战，我感受到的是一种真正的积极和热情。
on how well equipped we are going into these big games:
关于我们参加这些重要比赛的准备程度：
Obviously, we had some big experiences and what we did last season was another big step.

It’s true that we had some very important injuries, but I think the squad has managed that really well.
显然，我们有一些重要的经验，我们上赛季所做的又是向前迈出的一大步。今年，我们正在努力做的是更好的事情，而且我们还在参加冠军联赛，这也是一个巨大的进步，是的，球队更好了。我们确实有一些非常重要的伤病，但我认为球队已经很好地处理了这个问题。
on our FA Cup game against Liverpool and if we’re in a better place now:
关于我们对阵利物浦的足总杯比赛，以及我们现在是否处于更好的位置：
In terms of the team performance, very similar. Obviously, we had an opportunity to refresh and reconnect again when we went to Dubai. And then we had a long period as well between the Palace and Forest games, and my feeling is that we continue to play really well. Obviously, we were much more efficient in the final third and that’s very helpful to win football matches.
就球队的表现而言，非常相似。显然，当我们前往迪拜时，我们有机会重新振作和重新联系。然后我们在和水晶宫还有诺丁汉森林比赛之间也有很长的时间，我的感觉是，我们继续踢得很好。显然，我们在最后三分之一的比赛中效率更高，这对赢得足球比赛非常有帮助。
on players fighting with each other:
关于球员之间的争斗：
You don’t argue with somebody that you don’t have a great relationship [with]. That happens because you have the trust and the chemistry to react with somebody the way he did.
你不会与关系不好的人争吵。这种情况发生是因为你有信任和化学反应，才会以他的方式做出反应。

We talk about momentum; we’ve won the last two games and want to win the third one, especially at home with our people. It’s going to be an incredible atmosphere, and we’re going to need that, so I encourage everybody to do that, to play every single ball with us, and if we do that, we’re going to have a big chance to win the game.
是的，我们已经做到了。这个赛季，我们已经击败了强大的球队，现在又有机会击败利物浦，并处于一个更好的位置。我们谈论的是动力；我们已经赢得了最后两场比赛，并希望赢得第三场比赛，特别是在主场与我们的球迷一起。那将是一个令人难以置信的气氛，我们需要它，所以我鼓励每个人都这样做，与我们一起踢好每一个球，如果我们这样做，我们将有很大的机会赢得比赛。
on if Liverpool are more determined to end the season well with Klopp leaving:
关于利物浦是否更有决心在克洛普离开后结束这个赛季：
I don’t have a clue, hopefully not.

on what he would think in that position:

Absolutely, I think he’s going to be a big loss.

He will be missed but, for now, he’s here.
当然，我认为他将是一个巨大的损失。正如我之前所说，他一直是一个鼓舞人心的人，他为英超联赛增添了新的维度，他灌输了一种非常有吸引力和鼓舞人心的比赛方式，他建立了球队，并改造了一家俱乐部。他会被怀念的，但现在，他在这里。
on if we have lost unpredictability from last season:
关于我们是否失去了上赛季的不可预测性：
There are moments where you provoke certain things and other things where the opponent’s behaviour dictates what the game requires and what you can do. We are still the team that defended against more deep blocks last season, it’s nothing new, and still we score goals in different ways in the last two weeks as well which is great to see so the team has dominated every aspect of the game. We are conceding less than last season and obviously are generating more. It has to be seen in the scoreline and that’s the challenge.
有些时候你会激起某些事情，而有些时候对手的行为决定了比赛需要什么和你能做什么。我们仍然是上赛季防守最深层次的球队，这没什么新鲜的，而且在过去的两周里，我们仍然以不同的方式进球，这很棒，因为球队已经主宰了比赛的每一个方面。我们的失球比上赛季少，而且显然我们正在创造更多的机会。这必须在比分上体现出来，这就是挑战。
on why we haven’t signed a forward in January:
关于我们为什么在一月份没有签下一名前锋：
If we win on Sunday and score a lot of goals? I think like this. I love my players and I think that on Sunday we’re going to score goals and they’re going to be top and they fully deserve all our credit because of the way they are.
如果我们周日赢了并进了很多球呢？我是这么想的。我爱我的球员，我认为周日我们会进球，他们会名列前茅，他们完全配得上我们的称赞，因为他们就是这样的人。
on why it’s good to see teammates fighting with each other:
关于队友间相互争斗的好处：
Maybe we have a different understanding of what the word fight means, or a conversation, a little bit heated, a little bit emotional at the end of the game when you’re at 200 beats a minute. It’s normal, nothing new. I want to see passion, commitment from my players and for my players to have the desire always to be better. In order to do that we have to be demanding with each other. If not it’s Disneyland.
也许我们对“争斗”这个词的理解有所不同，或者在比赛结束时，当你心跳达到每分钟200次时，对话会有点激烈，有点情绪化。这很正常，没什么新鲜的。我希望看到我的球员们的激情和承诺，希望他们总是渴望变得更好。为了做到这一点，我们必须彼此要求严格。否则，这里就成了迪士尼乐园。
on if we lose means we are out of the title race:
关于如果我们输了是否就意味着我们退出了冠军争夺：
I don’t know. My mindset is to win it and I’m in that frame at the moment.
我不知道。我的心态是赢得比赛，我现在就是这个状态。
on if it’s a must not lose match:
关于这是否是一场必须赢的比赛：
No. It’s a game that we want to win and we have to earn the right to win it. In order to do that we’re going to have to do so many good things because there’s a reason why they are there but as well there’s a reason why we are where we are.
不。这是一场我们想赢的比赛，我们必须赢得获胜的权利。为了做到这一点，我们必须做好很多事情，因为对手有他们的理由待在那个位置，而我们也有我们的理由。
on many clubs not signing players in the January window:
关于许多俱乐部没有在1月转会窗口签下球员：
Maybe there is not a player in the market that can really make a difference or the impact you need, if you’re able to recruit him.
也许市场上没有一名球员能真正改变局面或产生你所需要的影响，即使你能招募到他。
on looking at beating Man City as an example of how we can win big games:
关于以击败曼城为例，说明我们如何赢得大型比赛：
Yes or Manchester United or Brighton or when we played here last season against Liverpool. We’ve done it many times and tomorrow is a different game and the team looks really ready and prepared, it’s really looking forward to the game. We know that the stadium is going to be fully with us as well and we want those days. We want those afternoons with our supporters where we have challenging things and the next game is a big one.
是的，或者是曼联、布莱顿，或者上赛季我们在这里对阵利物浦。我们已经多次做到这一点，明天将是一场不同的比赛，球队看起来真的已经准备好了，非常期待这场比赛。我们知道球场将座无虚席，全力支持我们，而我们也需要这样的日子。我们希望与支持者们共度那些充满挑战的下午，而下一场比赛就是一场重要的比赛。
on Partey not being able to stay fit:
关于帕尔特伊无法保持健康：
It’s a big concern because he’s such an important player for us and he was getting some momentum at the start of the season and then we lost him for a while. Now it’s been a long time without him and he gives us something very different that no other player can give us in the squad. He’s been a real miss.
这非常令人担忧，因为他对我们来说如此重要，赛季初他势头正盛，但后来我们失去了他一段时间。现在他已经缺席很久了，他给了我们一些队中其他球员无法给予的东西。我们真的很想念他。
on why the injuries happen:
关于受伤的原因：
They’ve been different kind of injuries. Not everything is about luck but there are a lot of things that are very difficult to control as well. The player has a history where he had some issues in the past but we have to try to protect him and do everything that we can to try to avoid it again.
他们受过不同类型的伤。并非所有事情都靠运气，但也有很多事情很难控制。这名球员过去就有过一些问题，但我们必须尽力保护他，尽我们所能避免再次发生这种情况。
on the Sobha Realty Training Centre:
关于Sobha Realty训练中心：
We just want to welcome Sobha Realty to our football club. I think it’s going to be a great way for us to evolve the facilities and the updates that we need around the place to improve performance and make this place more special. We have some necessities and they’re going to be really helpful to fulfil that.
我们只是想欢迎Sobha Realty加入我们的足球俱乐部。我认为，对于我们改善场地设施、更新以提高成绩并让这个地方变得更加特别来说，这将是一个很好的方式。我们有一些需求，而他们将非常有助于满足这些需求。
on Lino Sousa leaving on deadline day:
关于利诺·苏萨在截止日离开：
It was a club decision and obviously he had a really particular situation with his contract. There’s been a lot of talk about it and the club believe it was the best decision to do that and I supported that decision.
这是俱乐部的决定，显然他的合同情况非常特殊。关于此事的讨论很多，俱乐部认为这是最好的决定，我也支持这个决定。
on the willingness to give young players a chance:
关于给年轻球员机会的意愿：
We certainly want to do that. First of all we need to produce those talents and they have to earn it and secondly they have to be in the positions that we need fulfilling. Everything has to come together and we are working on that. We have a few prospects which are not far away, but the reality is we want more. Today, to give the opportunities to play in the first team at the level required, we are a bit short.
我们当然想这么做。首先，我们需要培养这些人才，他们必须通过自己的努力赢得机会；其次，他们必须能够胜任我们所需要的职位。所有事情都必须协同一致，我们正在朝这个方向努力。我们有一些前景不错的年轻球员，但他们离一线队还有一段距离。然而，现实是我们想要更多。目前，我们的一线队在给年轻球员提供所需水平的比赛机会方面还有点欠缺。
