Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice believes the club is fortunate to have Mikel Arteta at the helm after the Spaniard signed a new long-term deal.
The Englishman has lauded Arteta's tactical acumen, attention to detail, and training methodologies. Rice elaborated on the manager's unique approach to the game.
It’s about tactics, training, management. Mikel delves into details and sees things that you might never notice. He’s always watching you, even when you think no one is keeping tabs.
He looks for opportunities and constantly asks questions to catch you out, ensuring you’re paying attention. He keeps you on your toes, making sure you’re ready.
Every time we step onto the pitch, we know tactically what we need to do—how to defend, how to play with the ball, how to take on an opponent. The fine details and how he breaks everything down make him the best for me.
It’s fantastic that Arteta has signed a new contract, and he will be our manager for the next four years. We’re very lucky.
