Arteta: Fulham is really difficult to play at home, we have experienced it in the past few years

On October 19, Arsenal defeated Fulham 1-0 in an away game. After the game, Arsenal coach Arteta accepted an interview with Sky Sports.

Arteta: "Our performance was very good. This is indeed a difficult away game. We have experienced it deeply in the past few years. We have paid a lot for this game: we lost the ball several times in the first half, but throughout the game, we gradually took the initiative."

He specifically mentioned the team's tactical adjustments: "We are more concise in certain aspects when controlling the ball. We have also adjusted our formation to help the team create a smoother offensive rhythm. The opponent's lineup has been working together for many years and they know how to adjust and respond, so our proactive changes are key."

Talking about the performance at the beginning of the season, Arteta affirmed the team's highlights: "The season has just begun. It was early, but it was good for Trossard to score. The team achieved another clean sheet. This performance is gratifying, so I am very happy. "

When asked about the "depth of the team's lineup," he bluntly said that this is an advantage: "This is very happy, because this is exactly what we want, to make the team stronger through the depth of the lineup. "

Finally responded to the penalty kick controversy. He viewed the penalty rationally: "If the VAR review took so long, then (the penalty kick award) is definitely not 'clear'. I just learned that it wasn't a penalty, so they got it right. It's just that the VAR review process took so long, which surprised me a bit. "
