What has Mikel Arteta said?

Speaking after Arsenal’s recent US tour, Arsenal boss Arteta has said: “It leaves us with a really good feeling. It was a good way as well for the team to say thank you because we have been hosted in the best possible way. We had a great time, we shared the facilities of the Rams as well in LA. This is our ownership, so it was a special day for them as well.

“They put so much effort for us to be here and it was just incredible to play in this amazing stadium - I haven’t seen anything like it. The boys were just saying it was a privilege to be here.

“Obviously it’s pre-season but it got very, very competitive at the end. When you play a team with the stature of Barcelona, you have to be at it. I think the players showed a great level today, we did a lot of positive things, with our intensity our desire and the quality that we showed as well, especially in the attacking moments, it was impressive.”

What has Adi Hutter said?

New AS Monaco boss Adi Hutter said recently: “When you manage to impose your principles, sooner or later you will know success. Against Betis once again we deserved this victory (1-3). Then also friendly matches allow you to see how well the players have assimilated what we work on daily in training.

“And I saw that we had improved a lot between those two games. Everyone was logically satisfied with this result, this first success in pre-season. But in the end the objective remains to prepare the team for Ligue 1.”

He added on his side’s pre-season: “For development, preparing for the season, showing players that you always have to do more. It also helps to work on the state of mind and make them adhere to my ideas, which I must transmit to them. This is the biggest difficulty, the transmission. Then the objective is to prepare physically, and we were lucky at St. George’s Park to benefit from its superb facilities. In addition to having an acceptable temperature in which to train, because it is very hot at the moment in Monaco.”
