Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was very disappointed after the 3-0 defeat at home to Brighton, after which his team almost no longer have a chance for the title of English champion.
“At this moment I feel only frustration, I feel like we gave up in the second half, and we fought so hard to be in this position – we should have bitten, to continue chasing the dream. You can’t do what we did now in the second half. We have to analyze a lot of things, to see if our team is even capable of doing what needs to be done on the biggest stage,” said Arteta and added:
“What this team has done in the last ten months is more than anyone expected, but that in turn raises expectations.” It also creates enthusiasm, happiness, joy and the feeling that we have to do something, and we have to deal with the trim. It is my responsibility to make it so. I hate this feeling when people are let down and that’s what I regret the most today. We have to apologize for that.”
The Spanish expert repeated once again that he is responsible for the defeat.
“My job is to bring out the best in everyone. I tried, but obviously now I didn’t succeed,” Arteta concluded.
