On October 2nd, in the second round of the 2024/25 Champions League season, Arsenal will face Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates Stadium. Before the match, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta attended the press conference.
About Ødegaard and Merino
There have been no changes; the team will organize training later, and I don’t think either of them can return to the team soon.
About White and Kalafioris
These two players are in competition with each other, and we will make an assessment today. There was no training arranged for the team yesterday. After the game, Kalafioris was a bit emotionally agitated, and we’ll see how he is today.
About Playing at Home Against PSG
Everyone is very much looking forward to this game, which we have waited many years for. The group stage of this season is somewhat different, and we will be facing opponents that may be among the top teams in Europe, which is a great opportunity.
About Enrique
One word: honest. He is straightforward, he looks you in the eye and tells you what he thinks. I believe his players would really appreciate this approach, as it’s a wonderful thing when someone can make you feel this way.
About Timber and Kalafioris
At that time, Kalafioris hadn’t joined the team yet, and Timber had been out for 11 months; we missed him greatly. These two players have high football IQs, strong adaptability, and the ability to challenge different positions. This makes us hard to predict.
About PSG
They are truly powerful. They can control every aspect of a game. They have clear ideas. When they lose possession, they fight hard to regain it. This is Enrique’s style, regardless of where he is, the requirements are always the same. I just heard that Dembélé won’t be playing. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but we will prepare for all possible scenarios.
About Set Pieces
Every team has things they are good at and things they are not so good at.
