Mikel Arteta was one of the protagonists at Arsenal’s Media Day<\/strong>prior to next week’s Champions League final. The Basque coach explained what he felt after winning the Premier League on Tuesday due to Bournemouth’s draw against City.<\/p>\n The barbecue. <\/strong>“It was incredible to hear that we were champions. It’s one of the best feelings I’ve had in my life. We were going to be at the training center, watching it with the players, but 20 minutes before the game I got in the car and left because I felt a different energy. I went home and had a barbecue, I didn’t watch the game. I was with Gabi Heinze (his assistant) and another assistant. At the end of the game, I started hearing noises. My oldest son came running to me crying and said: ‘Dad, We are champions.'”<\/p>\n Without the players. <\/strong>“I lived it outside of them because it was their moment and they were going to enjoy it differently without my presence. It was something magical. Then Martin (Odegaard) called me and told me: where are you? Come with us.” And then I saw them somewhere else already celebrating.”<\/p>\n 22 years later. “<\/strong>When you get it, you see how much it means to people, everywhere. Many people have been involved in what we have achieved. “When we won and we were able to open that bottle, people had a lot of pent up emotions.”<\/p>\n The future: <\/strong>“Now we want more, now we want the final. We know what we have been through, that we have gone step by step, but we knew that we were not going to stop, that we were going to reinvent ourselves and that we would do everything possible to achieve this. But I want the complete party and the two trophies.”<\/p>\n forever <\/strong>No, I didn’t send him a message, I called him directly (to thank him for the draw against City). I called him, first to congratulate him on the work he has done with Bournemouth. I told him that he almost took the Premier from us (when he beat them a month ago) and now he has given it to us. I thanked him and congratulated him on all he has accomplished and wished him the best in the next chapter of his career. “He will have a great career.”<\/p>\n Pep. “<\/strong>Pep gave me a lot at the beginning of my career and I am very grateful to him for everything he inspired me. And yes, of course he congratulated me on this Premier.” Mikel Arteta was one of the protagonists at Arsenal’s Media Dayprior to next week’s Champions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1451,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1450\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
