[crowd cheering]
3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,680
When you do what you do
because you love what you do,
4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,840
that is called passion.
5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,320
[crowd shouting]
6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:23,520
Only passion,
7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:24,960
determination and passion,
8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,600
and show these people how much you care
9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,200
and go out there and play forward
10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,640
and attack them and play with courage
and belief
11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:32,840
and fucking win this game.

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,040
[narrator] Arsenal Football Club,
14
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,760
in the heart of North London.
15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,240
It's one of the biggest
football clubs in the world.
16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,040
[commentator] Thierry Henry! Superb goal!
17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:51,920
[narrator] A history of style.
18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,120
[commentator] Pires, magnificent.
19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,640
[narrator] And extraordinary success.
20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,600
They were champions,
21
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:00,600
Invincibles.
22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,200
[commentator] An entire Premier League
season unbeaten.
23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,400
[narrator] But recently
things have not been so good.
24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,560
[commentator] And for the first time
in more than 20 years,
25
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,000
there will be no European football
for this great club.
26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,120
[narrator] The fans are restless.
27
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,480
Used to always be
in the Champions League.
28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,440
All the time, without fail.
29
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,520
And now we can't even make Europa.
30
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:26,840
[narrator] They have
the Premier League's youngest manager.
31
00:01:27,039 --> 00:01:28,720
[Mikel Arteta] As a manager,
you're going to be under pressure,
32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,080
you're going to be questioned,
33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,039
but I'm ready for a fight.
34
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,880
[narrator] And youngest squad.
35
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,080
For the first time in their history,
36
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,360
Arsenal have allowed cameras
behind the scenes.
37
00:01:44,039 --> 00:01:46,080
[Mikel Arteta] Hey hey hey!
38
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,600
[cheers]
39
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,600
I don't speak often,
when I speak it's from the heart, innit.
40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,120
[narrator] In what will prove to be
a pivotal season for the club.
41
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,479
[cheers]
42
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,800
With the drama unfolding on...
43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,400
[commentator] And a red card.
44
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,240
[narrator] ...and off the pitch.
45
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,560
When I lose a duel I'm upset.
46
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,440
Because that's the fucking standard.
47
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,600
We have decided as a club
that he's no longer our captain.
48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,160
[narrator] With one question
hovering over the club...
49
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,320
Is Mikel Arteta the man to take Arsenal
and their fans back to the big time?
50
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,520
We have a challenge, guys.
51
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,760
It's a beautiful challenge,
let's go for it.
52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,440

[upbeat music]
74
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,800
[narrator] Arsenal
have several established stars.
75
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,800
Including club captain
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
76
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,880
But their squad is mainly made up
of players under 25.
77
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,360
In fact, Arsenal have the youngest squad
in the Premier League.
78
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,000
One of their most exciting young players
79
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,560
is 19-year-old Bukayo Saka.
80
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,600
From the moment Arsenal scouted me,
there was only one choice.
81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,880
The scouts approached my parents
82
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,080
and they gave them a card
with the Arsenal badge on.
83
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,720
I remember getting into the car
and my dad showing me.
84
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,120
I just took the card and I kept it
for a few days with me.
85
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,760
As a kid, you play for fun.
86
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,320
When the teams that you're watching on TV
are calling for you,
87
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,800
it's special.
88
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,440
I was really excited and I wanted
to get started straight away.
89
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,760

00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,360

[in Spanish] Vamos!
92
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,000
[narrator] Bukayo played for England in
the final of the European Championships.
93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,240
He was chosen to take the last kick
in the penalty shootout.
94
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,640
[commentator] So, Bukayo Saka now.
95
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,440
[narrator] It was the biggest moment
in English football in over 50 years.
96
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,440
[male fan] Please, Saka, I believe in you,
you've been so good this tournament.
97
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,680
Come on, mate.
98
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,000
[commentator] The 19-year-old
has to score this.
99
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Oh, he's saved it! Donnarumma saves.
100
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,560
England miss three consecutive penalties
in the shootout.
101
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,880
It's poor Bukayo Saka
who misses the crucial one.
102
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,440
[melancholic music]
103
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,000
[narrator] After his miss,
104
00:05:45,159 --> 00:05:48,600
Bukayo was a target of a wave
of racial abuse.
105
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,080
His performance in the tournament
106
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,080
and the way he handled the attention
made him a household name.
107
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:58,960
Oh my gosh.
108
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,720
[Thierry Henry] If you step
109
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,040
to take that penalty,
you're a hero for me.
110
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,160
Obviously, you score,
it's better, understand me well,
111
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:14,000
but for me, what he's doing right now,
and how humble he is...
112
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,160
And it's great
because he's from the academy
113
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,800
and he's Arsenal through and through.
114
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,760
But people do not realise the pressure
115
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,120
of being the one
that's going to make it.
116
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:27,560
And got to be that
when you step on the field,
117
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,080
you have to be that, but then...
118
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,560
people do not care
about how you feel as a human being
119
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,000
and this is where it becomes difficult.
120
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,960
You know, before, I could just do
normal things, you know.
121
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,480
I can't really do them anymore.
122
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000
[lady] The plate is warm, yeah?
123
00:06:48,159 --> 00:06:51,760
Thank you. Dan, perfect yeah.
Thank you.
124
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,600
At home if I cook my egg,
it's well done so...
125
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,040
You don't cook, though.
126
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,880
What do you mean, I don't cook?
Flo, what did I tell you I did yesterday?
127
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,280
Apparently he went to Waitrose
to grab a meal deal.
128
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,720
[laughs]
129
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,840
Apparently...
130
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,560
On my life, bro, I swear.
131
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,960
The whole staff waited outside
for me, bro.
132
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,200
What?
133
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,440
Bro, I walked in, I think they must
have recognised me.
134
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,920
Did you have your hood down?
135
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,360
Bro, I had my hood on
and my mask like here.
136
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,880
They still recognised you?
137
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,000
When I was leaving, bro...
138
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,480
The whole like... Eight staff
were waiting outside at the entrance.
139
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:27,800
Like clapping or something?
140
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,200
No, they were just...
As soon as I came out...
141
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,640
"Oh, can I have a picture?"
142
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,320
Bro, I had my hood on and my mask.
I don't know what more I can do.
143
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:39,800
[Folarin Balogun] That's hard.
144
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,760
When I was a kid,
I didn't really think about this side.
145
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,159
I just thought about the football side.
146
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,480
I didn't really know about
off the pitch stuff,
147
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,800
the media and stuff like that.
148
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,600
But I don't think I would change it
149
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,000
because I'm still living the dream
that I've always dreamt.
150
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,600
[narrator] This young squad is lead
by the Premier League's youngest manager,
151
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,120
39 year old,
former Arsenal captain, Mikel Arteta.
152
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,680
Morning, Kelly!
153
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,400
[narrator] Arteta is under pressure.
154
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,600
Since he became manager,
Arsenal have been inconsistent
155
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,360
and this season, things need to change.
156
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,840
The expectations of this club
are to win every single game.
157
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,840
We want to be in Europe, yes,
158
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,920
then we will have to win trophies,
that's a yes.
159
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,560
You are a winger
and you regain the ball here,
160
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,720
where is the centre-back?
161
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,040
There, yeah?
162
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,960
My main objective is for the fans
to believe in the team.
163
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,760
That's been lost a little bit
in the last few years.
164
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,440
[upbeat music]
165
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,039
Football is about trying to give
positive emotions to people.
166
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,840
[shouts]
167
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,760
And if we are able to do that,
hopefully beautiful things will happen.
168
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,080
[player] Three! Two!
169
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,480
[cheers]
170
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,280
[Mark Gonnella] What I was thinking is,
if you kind of do a little "hello,
171
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,960
good to see you all back,
here we go again."
172
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,640
[narrator] In the media, questions hang
over Mikel and his ability as a manager.
173
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,160
[Gonnella] Morning everybody.
174
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,880
[Mikel Arteta] Good morning. Nice to
see you all again for a new season.
175
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,520
[journalist] It's your 3rd season,
isn't it? Two 8th place finishes.
176
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,440
Do you get the sense
this is now your time to deliver?
177
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,120
Our goal is to get
the best version consistently
178
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,640
that's going to bring us closer
to winning football matches.
179
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,600
That's what I want from the team.
180
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,880
On Friday, win against Brentford,
181
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,720
and we've put so much work
and effort in the last few weeks
182
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,600
to get the best possible preparation
183
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,880
and now you want to see the outcome,
so... ready for the kick-off.
184
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,880
[journalist] Thanks, Mikel.
Good luck tomorrow.
185
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,040
Thank you.
186
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,080
[hubbub]
187
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,080
[uplifting music]
188
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,840
[narrator] Arsenal's first match
is against newly promoted Brentford.
189
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,880
It's a game they're expected to win,
190
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,360
but Covid has affected their build up
to the game.
191
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,480
And things have just got worse.
192
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,760
[commentator] If you've not heard
the news,
193
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,640
both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
and Alex Lacazette
194
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,160
are not involved tonight
because they're ill.
195
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,240
[commentator] Of course, the pre-match
homage to Black Lives Matter
196
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,320
will continue for this season ahead.
197
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,040
Good to see and of course,
young Bukayo Saka on the bench there.
198
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,480
[audience cheers]
199
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,960
And off we go!
200
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,160
[music continues]
201
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,840
[narrator] Arsenal start well
and are dominating their opponents.
202
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,480
[cheers]
203
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,520
But just 20 minutes in...
204
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,040
[cheers]
205
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Brentford score.
206
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,760
[cheers]
207
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,200
Arsenal fight on...
208
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,280
[suspenseful music]
209
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,600
And after 60 minutes,
Mikel brings on Bukayo Saka.
210
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,200
[applause]
211
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,560
[commentator] That's not just
the Arsenal fans,
212
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:22,360
that is all of the Brentford fans
applauding Bukayo Saka onto the pitch
213
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,800
after he missed that penalty.
214
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,880
[narrator] But he can't change
Arsenal's fortunes.
215
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,560
[commentator] Saka towards
the left-hand side
216
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,440
where he's pulled across there...
Granit Xhaka...
217
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,920
A low shot, but wide of the post.
218
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,360
[suspenseful music continues]
219
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,880
Sorensen with the long throw this time
220
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,920
which bounces right across
the penalty area and it's in.
221
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,240
[screams and shouts]
222
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,200
It's a second goal for Brentford!
223
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,280
[narrator] Mikel's hopes
of giving Arsenal fans
224
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,600
a positive start to the new season
are over.
225
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,840
[commentator] Arsenal fans are being
waved away, they're leaving the ground.
226
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:01,240
[narrator] For the fans, a defeat
against Brentford is unacceptable.
227
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,040
The fallout begins.
228
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:06,400
Fucking embarrassing.
229
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,000
We are bottom of the league.
230
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,520
[whistle]
231
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:17,160
[commentator] They've won! They've beaten
Arsenal by two goals to nil!
232
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,080
The pressure is on these now,
there's gonna be no excuses,
233
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,760
the look of the next two games
Chelsea, Manchester City,
234
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,280
and I think that is why I feel
the pressure's right on Mikel Arteta.
235
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,000
Rightly or wrongly, that's where we are.
236
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,600
Morning.
237
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,320
[Arteta] As a manager
you're going to be under pressure.
238
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,960
You're going to be questioned,
you're gonna have to deal with issues.
239
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,080
It's part of my job.
240
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,040
And I really want
to fight for this club.
241
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,840
I want to fight for our players,
our fans,
242
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,880
and they feel the same way
and we can do it together.
243
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,320
[crowd chant] We want Kroenke out!
I said we want Kroenke out!
244
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,080
We want Kroenke out!
I said we want Kroenke out!
245
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,120
We want Kroenke out!
I said we want Kroenke out!
246
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,880
[narrator] Relations between
the fans and the club
247
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,720
reached a new low in April 2021.
248
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,040
The fans objected to the club agreeing
249
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,920
to join the proposed breakaway
European Super League.
250
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,800
The majority of the anger was directed
at the owners of the club,
251
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,400
the Kroenke family.
252
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:37,800
How can a football club
have an owner that doesn't care?
253
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,080
I don't understand that.
254
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,960
They wanted to take us out and put us
in a super league, like come on, man.
255
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,560
[narrator] Kroenke Sports & Entertainment
was founded by Stan Kroenke.
256
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,720
It's the largest privately owned
sports empire in the world.
257
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,440
The company is reportedly worth
around 10 billion dollars.
258
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,520
And when it comes to Arsenal,
259
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:01,160
Stan's son Josh
is one of the four club directors.
260
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:05,400
[interviewer] What's the most challenging
thing about running a football club?
261
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,000
Where should I start?
262
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,280
[upbeat music]
263
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,640
[Josh Kroenke] My family really just
took control of the club in 2018.
264
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,520
There was always gonna be
a bit of a transition period
265
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:21,360
where maybe you don't get everything
correct the first time around.
266
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,600
There will be bumps
267
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,480
and you just have to be strong enough
to withstand them.
268
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,280
[crowd chant] We want Kroenke out!
I said we want Kroenke out!
269
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,280
We want Kroenke out!
I said we want Kroenke out!
270
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,400
[Josh Kroenke] It was a very tough period.
271
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,400
I knew we had upset a lot of people
and it stings.
272
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,040
I understand that we have a long way to go
to build back the trust with our fanbase
273
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,000
but it's already started
behind the scenes.
274
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,280
[narrator] Josh has flown into London
to meet technical director Edu Gaspar
275
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,000
and CEO Vinai Venkatesham.
276
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,720
Along with the Arsenal board,
277
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,280
Josh has approved a plan to upgrade
the first team squad.
278
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,640
So, we still, of course,
as you're going to see here...
279
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,240
We still thinks
there's a lot of things to do
280
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,600
and when you see, like,
that kind of situation,
281
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,240
that's what I wanna do
until the end of the transfer window,
282
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,600
try to clean and rebalance that position.
283
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,360
As you see,
Martin is in the building already,
284
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,960
which is a very important position
285
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,200
because before you just have
Smith-Rowe in that position
286
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,760
and now we have a true number ten.
287
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,560
Martin gives us a lot of flexibility.
288
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,560
We've also done what we wanted to do
about the age profile of the squad.
289
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,080
If you look at the players
we've brought in, all 21, 22, 23, 24.
290
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,840
[narrator] Josh and the Arsenal board have
bankrolled a 30 million pounds transfer
291
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,760
for Norwegian wunderkid
Martin Odegaard.
292
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,480
[Bukayo Saka] Are you happy?
293
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,680
Happy to be back, bro?
294
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,760
I heard about the wages you were getting,
so I thought fucking hell.
295
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,400
[narrator] And deals for several other
young players have been secured.
296
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,560
21 year old Albert Sambi Lokonga,
15 million pounds.
297
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,400
21 year old Nuno Tavares,
7 million pounds.
298
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,200
But the most expensive
new signing is 23 year old Ben White
299
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,080
bought for 50 million pounds.
300
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,040
Mate, I've got some little kids
absolutely giving me stacks,
301
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,040
they were mugging me right off.
302
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,680
Were they?
303
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,880
They were like "50 million, you're shit."
304
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,480
[laughs]
305
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,680
[narrator] Arsenal are now the highest
spenders in this summer transfer window
306
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,840
and are still looking for more players.
307
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,920
[upbeat music]
308
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,840
[Kroenke] The grand plan
should be coming a little more obvious
309
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,480
after this transfer window.
310
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,720
You have some pace there.
You're still ready to play.
311
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,960
I think that you see us out there
really looking for young talent
312
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,960
that can grow with the group.
313
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,320
-How are you?
-I'm good, Josh.
314
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,560
-You good?
-Yeah.
315
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,600
It's been a tough week.
316
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,200
I said the first defeat
in the Premier League,
317
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,160
you know what is coming.
318
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,600
The tsunami's coming already
on day one.
319
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,520
The clouds are dark.
320
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,839
[Bukayo] Hey!
321
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,200
-How are you?
-I'm good, how are you?
322
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:12,560
I meant what I said
in that text message.
323
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,920
Shake that shit off,
you've got a bright future man.
324
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:16,160
It's going to be fun.
325
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:19,440
He gets a clap now.
In every stadium, he gets a clap.
326
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,079
[suspenseful music]
327
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:26,800
[narrator] After 18 months away from
the Emirates Stadium, the fans are back.
328
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,960
It's going to be a tough match against
European Champions League holders,
329
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,240
Chelsea.
330
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,680
[journalist] You've got Chelsea
this weekend, then Man City.
331
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,720
This is not looking the easiest start
you could have had to this season.
332
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,200
[Arteta] I know that people have
the intentions to bury us,
333
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,680
to try to criticise us.
We are not interested in that.
334
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,560
[journalist] Who are you
talking about there? Ex-players?
335
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,960
The Rwandan president
was very critical of your game last week.
336
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,520
He said Arsenal
must not accept mediocracy.
337
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,520
[journalist] Arsenal's spent more money
than any other Premier League club.
338
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,320
[journalist 2] Has this been your biggest
challenge since becoming Arsenal boss?
339
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,640
[journalist 3] The players aren't feeling
any pressure, neither are you?
340
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,000
If you don't feel pressure in football,
in any elite sport,
341
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,680
I think you picked the wrong profession.
342
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,080
-[Gonnella] Thanks everyone.
-[Arteta] Thank you.
343
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,680
[Gonnella] Well done.
All pretty straight.
344
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,960
[Arteta] They were intense, today.
345
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,080
[Gonnella] Yeah.
346
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,480
[Gonnella] And you saw the Ramsdale stuff
kind of came out.
347
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,320
[radio] Talk Sport, sports update.
348
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,400
Arsenal have announced the signing
of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale
349
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,560
on a long-term deal
from Sheffield United.
350
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,640
[narrator] After weeks of negotiation,
351
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,040
Arsenal have secured
a 30 million pound deal
352
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,720
for 23 year old English goalkeeper
Aaron Ramsdale.
353
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,000
[upbeat music]
354
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,560
-You on your own?
-Yeah.
355
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,080
[narrator] He just needs to pass
his medical
356
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,560
with club doctor Gary O'Driscoll.
357
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,280
[O'Driscoll] Have a seat.
358
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,560
[door closing]
359
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,160
So, look, congratulations.
360
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,800
-Thank you very much.
-Taken a bit of time.
361
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,080
We're thrilled to have you,
congratulations.
362
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,040
Thank you.
363
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,400
So, have you done medicals before?
364
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,320
Yeah.
365
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,320
You are a goalkeeper,
right or left-handed?
366
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,320
Er, right.
367
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,520
-And footed?
-Right.
368
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,880
-Are you married or partner or kids?
-Partner.
369
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,080
-You've got a partner.
-Yeah.
370
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,280
By the end of today,
I'll give you my number
371
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,320
and any issues that you've got
372
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,280
or your partner's got
or whatever, family,
373
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,000
any issue at all and you just give me
a call, we'll sort that out.
374
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,080
So, no injuries at the moment?
375
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,720
-No.
-When were you last injured?
376
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,080
What which stopped me from playing?
377
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,320
Yeah. Can you...
Good if you can't remember, that's great.
378
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,200
-Arm, elbow?
-No.
379
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,440
-Wrists?
-No.
380
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,160
-Fingers, hands, no breaks?
-Broken thumb.
381
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,480
-Any issues since then?
-No, it was a Bennett's fracture.
382
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560
That's it, no other injuries?
383
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,880
Have you ever had surgery, have you ever
had any operation at all? Groin? Hernias?
384
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,800
When I was like 10, I broke my arm.
385
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Remember how you did that?
386
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,960
Better not to ask?
387
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,200
I fell off a skateboard
trying to go down a slide...
388
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,560
[laughs]
389
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,560
-Good lad!
-I watched my big brother do it.
390
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,800
A great goalkeeper in the making there.
Like it.
391
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,040
[Aaron] I played outfield kicking about
in the fields with my dad and my brothers,
392
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,760
and my dad just said,
"Where do you wanna play?"
393
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,480
and I said in goal, and he just turned
round and said "Are you mad?"
394
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,800
I just shrugged my shoulders.
395
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,160
I think it was just the thrill
of diving around in the mud,
396
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,280
making saves,
just being sort of dopey
397
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,560
and a joker and stuff like that.
398
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,280
[O'Driscoll] Do you know
any of the other lads here?
399
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,560
[Aaron] Erm, Bukayo, Emile,
400
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,160
Reiss.
401
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:41,800
All through England?
402
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,760
-Yeah, and I know Rob a little bit.
-Great.
403
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,680
When I was at Bolton.
404
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,680
-You were at Bolton as well?
-As a kid, yeah.
405
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,960
-No way.
-Yeah.
406
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,960
When I was in the academy at Bolton,
407
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,440
obviously getting a couple of contracts
408
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,720
sort of from 12 to 16,
you realise that you do have a talent
409
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,000
because you're in the academy
for a reason,
410
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:05,440
but I don't think it was until
when I turned probably 17, 18,
411
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,800
I started having a better time
at Sheffield United
412
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,440
and I was really part of that squad,
and that's probably when I thought,
413
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,720
"I've got a chance."
414
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,000
And six months later
I was in Bournemouth.
415
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,400
[female journalist] The season before
he was at Bournemouth, they got relegated.
416
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,800
I think it's a lot of money.
417
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,400
[male journalist] I don't quite get
the Ramsdale one, if I'm honest.
418
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,280
[journalist] They are Banter FC right now.
419
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,720
[Aaron] I made a decision to turn
all my comments off
420
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,520
on Instagram and Twitter.
421
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,720
I don't need to listen to it.
422
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,160
I think the only person's opinion
I need to listen to is the manager's,
423
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,560
he picks the team.
424
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,520
I need to listen to my teammates'
opinions and my family,
425
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,880
who have been there through
thick and thin, who have seen my journey.
426
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,800
[cheers]
427
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,000
People are jealous, people are fickle,
people think they can do better.
428
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,760
It's a cop-out in my opinion,
429
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:03,080
you're hiding behind a keyboard,
just an easy way out for them.
430
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,880
[upbeat music]
431
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,760
And if you start reading it,
it's bad for you,
432
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,280
and obviously bad for your mental state.
433
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,520
Judge me at the end and we'll see
what the reception's like then.
434
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,080
[fans screaming and chanting]
435
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,760
Arsenal! Arsenal!
Arsenal! Arsenal!
436
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,680
Arsenal! Arsenal!
437
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,320
[upbeat music]
438
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,240
[narrator] The second league match
of the season is against Chelsea.
439
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,600
Arsenal have captain Aubameyang back.
440
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,200
He's on the subs bench
after recovering from Covid,
441
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,840
but 50 million pound defender Ben White
is now out with the virus.
442
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,280
Mikel needs his team to perform
in front of their home fans.
443
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,040
Otherwise, the crowd
could turn against them.
444
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,600
[commentator] You do wonder
how long the home support
445
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,920
will back the team
if things don't improve.
446
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,680
Because if the Arsenal fans
had been in the ground last season,
447
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,720
they would have let the players
and the manager know their feelings.
448
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,840
Being an Arsenal fan right now sucks.
449
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,600
Let's be honest, it ain't...
450
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,720
There's nothing to really cheer about.
451
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,200
So many lows, especially since
we used to have so many highs.
452
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:29,000
We used to always be
in the Champions League.
453
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,160
It's tragic.
454
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,360
[interviewer] Why do you stick
with them then?
455
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,120
Because you have to.
456
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,280
I can't just...
be a Chelsea fan now, ugh, like...
457
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,760
Or a Tottenham... No, I couldn't even.
458
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:46,480
[coach] Let's go!
Let's fucking do it, come on!
459
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,320
[applause]
460
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,680
[man] Get together, come on.
461
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,200
Ok, this week, guys,
I think we've all been hurt.
462
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:59,120
We've all been hurt because
so many people has hurt our pride.
463
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,120
And I saw you after the game
and how much you care
464
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,240
and it hurts me.
465
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,200
It hurts me for you, for all the staff,
466
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:09,280
and all the people that cares for us
at the football club.
467
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,920
Not for me, the criticism are nothing.
468
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,400
For you guys,
because I know how hard you fucking try.
469
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,680
But today, we have a possibility
to make a point here.
470
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,280
And it's when everybody's against you,
you are stronger here, guys.
471
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,240
[tense music]
472
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,280
[commentator] Arsenal must pick up
the pace in their home opener
473
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,400
as the Gunners welcome European
Champions Chelsea to Emirates Stadium.
474
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,240
Romelu Lukaku is thrust straight
into the limelight
475
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,280
following his near 100 million move
from Inter.
476
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,560
[cheers]
477
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,520
Gets there for a start. Just listen
to this as Premier League football
478
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,600
returns to the Emirates Stadium.
479
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,440
[narrator] Despite the roar
from the home fans,
480
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,720
Arsenal are immediately under pressure
and Chelsea land a first blow.
481
00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:00,520
[commentator] Here is James,
right hand side, inside the penalty area,
482
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,160
low ball in, chance for Lukaku taken.
483
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,320
[cheers]
484
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,160
Their big money signing
comes good very early on here
485
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:08,840
and it was a simple tap in.
486
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,600
[tense music]
487
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,920
Marcos Alonso, good work from Havertz,
this is Romelu Lukaku
488
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:28,720
and now it's with Mount towards James.
489
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:29,680
[cheers]
490
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,240
Who puts it into the back
of the net with real panache!
491
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,520
[narrator] 2-0 down and the energy within
the stadium is low.
492
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,640
[tense music continues]
493
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,600
[crowd boo]
494
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,040
[commentator] Half-time here
at the Emirates Stadium,
495
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,280
and one or two boos
from the Arsenal supporters.
496
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,600
[Granit Xhaka] 2, not 1. 2!
497
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,840
Romelu was so high,
498
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,720
we are going back.
499
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,880
Try to stay in front of him,
let him in offside.
500
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,160
How can we solve that?
501
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,920
We call the winger to go to Mason
502
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:12,520
and you are in front of Lukaku.
503
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,200
It's the only chance we have.
504
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,480
Guys, Lukaku... Lukaku is dictating
the height of our line.
505
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,480
If Lukaku is here,
we are here and the ball is there.
506
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,960
We have to dictate
where we want the ball,
507
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:25,920
and we have to play him offside
508
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:30,160
every time the ball is under pressure
so he has to be squeezing with us.
509
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:33,360
We have some chances, we are arriving,
we have courage, we need a goal.
510
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,000
We need a goal to give us hope
and give us energy.
511
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,200
But whatever happens, I don't want one
fucking player complaining,
512
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:42,360
one fucking player walking.
Is it clear? Let's go.
513
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,600
-[clapping]
-[players] Let's go!
514
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,240
[bell rings]
515
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,280
[commentator] And we're underway
for the second half here.
516
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,640
[narrator] As the second half begins,
517
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,120
Arsenal need to find a way
to get the crowd going.
518
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,760
[commentator] This is Saka
invited to shoot.
519
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,040
He does just that and tipped
over by Mendy, terrific hit.
520
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,440
Taken deep towards the back post,
knocked back in
521
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,560
and the header does go in...
No, it's wide of the target, Rob Holding.
522
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,720
[cheers]
523
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,000
Martinelli, a twist and a turn,
524
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,840
tries to slip it through towards
Aubameyang who looks offside.
525
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,840
Here is Auba, straight down
the throw of Mendy.
526
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,520
[suspenseful music]
527
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,920
Reece James.
528
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:30,840
Mason Mount.
529
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,880
In towards Lukaku again!
530
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,960
Terrific save from Bernd Leno
onto the woodwork.
531
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,320
The fact of the matter is, it's not
a good day at the office for Arsenal.
532
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:46,480
[whistle]
533
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,760
That is full time, Mikel Arteta
has got some work to do here.
534
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,480
[narrator] Back-to-back defeats
and the critics are louder than ever.
535
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,160
[fan] Yeah, we've got all this nice
stadium but at the end of the day,
536
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:04,320
there just doesn't seem to be a fire
like in the bellies of The Invincibles.
537
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,120
[tense music]
538
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,480
[fan] Get the manager out!
Get Arteta out now, right now.
539
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,600
Fans, we're all feeling devastated, mate.
540
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,960
We want Arteta out now,
gone, gone, gone.
541
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:20,120
He needs to go.
542
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,400
-Two games, zero points.
-I think we should give him time.
543
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,400
-No, what time do you want?
-What time?
544
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,440
-I think we should give him some time.
-No! What time?
545
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,160
The squad... Wait!
The squad hasn't come together yet.
546
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,760
I think we should give him some time,
he's a young manager,
547
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,440
he deserves our support.
548
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,280
Don't beat on him just
because he lost a few games.
549
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,120
[narrator] Some fans wait after the game
to shout abuse at the Arsenal manager.
550
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,160
[fan] Arteta, was that good enough?
551
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,480
[hubbub]
552
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,840
[Venkatesham] We've got a young team
so we're gonna get some difficult moments.
553
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,400
You've seen
what it's like in football and in sport.
554
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,840
When you're winning,
everybody's always together,
555
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,120
winning hides everything.
556
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,560
[Josh Kroenke] After a defeat like that,
you're always gonna feel it.
557
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:02,640
When things are going poorly,
558
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,360
that's when the fingers will come up
to the director's box
559
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,000
because people
are looking for change.
560
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,360
For better or for worse,
that's the way it works across
561
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,600
all professional sports.
562
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,320
[intriguing music]
563
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,960
[Arteta] We have to go
through different moments,
564
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,360
some very difficult, some when people
are trying to stab you.
565
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,160
Criticism is coming...
566
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,960
and you have to stand up
567
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,920
and fight for yourself
and believe in what you do.
568
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,640
We're under a lot of pressure
and criticism,
569
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,120
but as a club we need to stand up
570
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,520
to show the togetherness
that we have here,
571
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,440
and go again.
572
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,360
[tense music]
573
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,520
[narrator] The games don't get any easier.
574
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,440
Next up, it's the Premier League
champions Manchester City.
575
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,680
And for Mikel,
it's a trip back to the club
576
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,960
where he was assistant manager
under Pep Guardiola.
577
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:19,960
[commentator] Off we go then.
578
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,640
[suspenseful music]
579
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:30,840
Jesus...
580
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,160
to Silva again,
buzzing around as he often does.
581
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,000
Jesus with the delivery,
it's a good one,
582
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,560
in toward the back post!
583
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,800
And City take the lead.
584
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,000
[cheers]
585
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,200
[tense music]
586
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,520
Cancelo.
587
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:54,960
Gundogan again.
588
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,280
Now Silva to deliver.
589
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,160
A different type of delivery,
590
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,880
but it's gone all the way through
and Manchester City
591
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,880
double their advantage.
592
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,240
You get the feeling this could be a very
long afternoon for the Arsenal fans.
593
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,120
[suspenseful music]
594
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,200
[crowd shouts]
595
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,840
[commentator] A crunching challenge
from Xhaka on Cancelo.
596
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,280
[crowd whistles]
597
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,760
[scream and shout]
598
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,320
And it's a red card for Granit Xhaka.
599
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,680
Arsenal's afternoon
goes from bad to worse.
600
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,160
Enough is enough it seems
601
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,240
for some of the Arsenal fans
as they head for the exits.
602
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,480
[fan] We just wanna compete
and show a little bit of fight.
603
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,320
And out there they're not showing enough.
604
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,920
You can still hear us singing.
605
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,840
You can't hear the City fans,
you hear "Saka" and "Emile Smith-Rowe".
606
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,600
The passion we've got we don't feel
is being reciprocated on the pitch.
607
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,480
[commentator] Bring Jack Grealish
into play on the left-hand side.
608
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,960
Grealish one on one up against Chambers,
still Grealish, into the middle.
609
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,000
[crowd shouts]
610
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,040
Man City, 3-0.
611
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,520
[fan] Days like this, it just makes
you wonder about it all really.
612
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,920
Arteta's gotta go. Everything's got
to change from top to bottom.
613
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,520
The club is just rotten now.
614
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:40,800
[commentator] And Rodri.
615
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,600
Manages to pass it in.
616
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,520
[cheers]
617
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,520
[fan] First game of the season, rubbish.
618
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,520
Second game of the season, rubbish.
619
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,840
We haven't scored a goal, we haven't even
threatened to score a goal.
620
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,120
It's terrible. It's the worst Arsenal team
I've ever seen in my life, ever.
621
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,360
[melancholic music]
622
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,360
[whistle]
623
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,160
[commentator] Martin Atkinson
brings the game to a close.
624
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,080
[fan] It's dire, it's embarrassing.
625
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,880
[fan 2] I don't think I trust the process.
626
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,680
I don't think the other fans
trust the process.
627
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,680
I don't even think the players
trust the process.
628
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,320
[fan 3] I'm sorry, his time is up,
he has to go.
629
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,920
[fan 4] He doesn't know his starting 11,
he's just practically inept.
630
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,720
[fan 5] He's gonna be the first manager
to get the sack, I promise you.
631
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,800
[journalist] Is he the man
to take you to the next level?
632
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,440
[fan] You'd have to say no.
633
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,200
[narrator] After three games the table
does not make happy reading for Arsenal.
634
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,040
They sit bottom,
and to make matters worse,
635
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,840
their North London rivals Tottenham
are top of the league.
636
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,000
[Arteta] We are bottom of the league.
637
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,640
Zero goals, conceded nine,
638
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,400
zero points.
639
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,720
And we are getting hammered by everybody.
640
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,880
It's the biggest challenge
that I've faced since I joined the club.
641
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,159
In difficult moments,
you question yourself, you have fears,
642
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:23,400
difficult things happen in your mind.
643
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,760
"Can I turn it around?
644
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,800
Do I have the energy today
645
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,480
to go back tomorrow
and transmit what I have to transmit?
646
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:32,679
How we're going to do it?
647
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,639
Are people going to believe
in what we are doing?"
648
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:41,280
You need the right people
around you to support you
649
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,920
and sometimes to help you lift
when you're under difficulty.
650
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:48,639
[Kroenke] How are you?
651
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:49,880
Yes, good.
652
00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:53,840
We need some stability,
we don't need any of this.
653
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,480
I was annoyed that
there were so many people trying
654
00:34:56,639 --> 00:34:58,640
to fracture the group, you know.
655
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,920
Yeah, I have experienced that a lot.
656
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,440
The only guys you can trust
are the ones in the room with you.
657
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,000
That's all I know.
658
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,880
That word is very...
659
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,520
rare to find.
660
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:13,880
Ay?
661
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,520
Very much. Very much.
662
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,880
But onward we go.
663
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,560
Yeah.
664
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,840
Part of my job is to be aware
of certain narratives that are out there.
665
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,000
That doesn't mean I believe them
or actually pay attention to them,
666
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,560
but I must be aware of what's being said.
667
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,520
But I think that our main motto
is tune out the noise,
668
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,520
keep our heads down
and have each other's backs.
669
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,840
At times, everybody needs to have
an arm around their shoulder.
670
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,160
[narrator] Just before
the transfer window closes,
671
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,440
Arsenal make one more signing.
672
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,440
We can start on right-backs,
so Tomiyasu's just finalised the deal
673
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,400
with the player's agent.
674
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,320
[Richard Garlick] It's literally just
signing the paperwork now
675
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,560
and them confirming
they're happy with the medical.
676
00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,920
So that's all in hand.
677
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,120
Feels like we're in good shape.
678
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,480
[narrator] Takehiro Tomiyasu,
679
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,280
a Japanese international right-back,
680
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,280
is signed from Bologna
for 17,5 million pound.
681
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,960
In all, Arsenal have spent
156 million pound this summer.
682
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,120
[upbeat music]
683
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,920
After three defeats in a row,
684
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,760
Mikel's thinking
about making some changes.
685
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,480
Bernd Leno has been Arsenal's number one
keeper for three years,
686
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,520
but now, new signing Aaron Ramsdale
is in contention.
687
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,200
I know my position at the moment in time
and you have to... to get to the top,
688
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,160
you have to try
and beat the people at the top.
689
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,320
You have to be selfish at times
690
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,200
because when you're a number one,
you get the criticism
691
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,960
but you also get all the glamour
and the praise
692
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,800
and you get the relief
of playing matches.
693
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,560
I think that's what's pushing me on
at the moment.
694
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,600
I know Norwich is a massive game,
695
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,280
and my goal is to get into the team,
696
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,640
to help the team improve
on tough times we're having.
697
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,160
[coach] That's all right.
698
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,840
Oh!
699
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,840
[narrator] This is Arsenal's
worst ever start in the Premier League.
700
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,280
Everyone at Colney knows
another defeat is unthinkable.
701
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,200
They haven't lost their first four league
games in almost 100 years.
702
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,560
[Arteta] Focus on first of all,
let them play,
703
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,640
for example, again start
without giving them much instruction,
704
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,760
just to get the press beaten,
and running to the half way line.
705
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,040
How we do that
and let them play for 5 minutes.
706
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,160
[Steve Round] He's dealt
with pressure all his life.
707
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:37,760
From when he was a young boy
708
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,480
right the way through to playing
at the highest level
709
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,360
and now coaching and managing
at the highest level,
710
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,640
so I don't think he knows
a world without it.
711
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,120
And then we will go to the four points
that we discussed,
712
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,880
defending, about
the aggression on the press.
713
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,960
[Steve Round] The very best people
in their roles at that level
714
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,600
actually embrace it and need it.
715
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,040
He's very focused
716
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,320
and concentrated
on what needs to be done.
717
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,440
That's it, OK? Thank you.
718
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,960
[upbeat music]
719
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,080
Let's not hide from the fact
that this is Arsenal.
720
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,120
You have to make top four.
721
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,640
Surely pride has to kick in
because I get annoyed sometimes
722
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,200
when people have a go at the manager,
723
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,640
saying "Oh, he can't handle it."
724
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,160
No, they. They cannot handle it.
725
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,360
After you lose two games in a row,
it's bad.
726
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,120
After you lose three,
that's when it gets really, really bad.
727
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,000
When you have zero points on the board
at the beginning of the season,
728
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,640
it's just relegation form, literally.
729
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,160
[fan] I'm 22 and I haven't seen my club
win a Premier League
730
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,480
and my dad, my uncles,
they've seen it all,
731
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,400
and they always tell me,
"This is not the Arsenal,
732
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:56,560
I'm not used to seeing this."
733
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,480
Morning.
734
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,960
[narrator] Mikel is a modern manager
with progressive ideas.
735
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,360
Along with the coaching team,
736
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,160
he focuses on how to bring the best
out of the players.
737
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,640
[Arteta] We talked in the office
and we saw the images
738
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,920
about what we want to work on.
739
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,200
The number one thing,
clean sheet, no goals,
740
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,000
and do your role and your task
as well as you can, yeah? Let's go.
741
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,840
[upbeat music]
742
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,680
Ben, you have a level of aggression
in some actions that you do,
743
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,000
attacking and defending, Ben
744
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,480
and before I didn't see,
745
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,640
and you have to get out of that system
746
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,040
to become the leader in the back.
747
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,160
We have a young team and I don't know
if they're going to handle that pressure.
748
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,480
So, I need to try to release pressure
from them.
749
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,800
Again, bravo. Yes, Ainsley.
750
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,160
And they have to,
at least from our side in our bubble,
751
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,680
feel that we trust them,
that we have confidence in them,
752
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,200
and that whatever happens,
we're going to defend them.
753
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,920
And that's the approach
that I try to take.
754
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:07,680
Why did you go then?
755
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:08,880
I didn't, I waited a bit.
756
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,080
OK, when you waited and you went,
what happened?
757
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,920
He wasn't still there.
So you have to speak to him.
758
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,800
[Bukayo] From the moment he came in
I knew he was gonna be a top manager.
759
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,760
Tactically he's so good,
760
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,760
the details he gives us and stuff
just helps us so much.
761
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,280
If there is no order,
it's not creativity,
762
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,360
it's just chaos,
763
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,200
if you have to organise this chaos
into something,
764
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,960
then it becomes really, really tricky.
765
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,400
[Granit] Mikel is very, very special.
766
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,680
I had already a lot of coaches,
767
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,000
but he's a "freak",
768
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,040
but in a positive way.
769
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,760
Because he sees details.
770
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,480
I didn't have a coach like that.
771
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,160
[Martin Odegaard] Way he connects
the team and environment
772
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,640
he creates here, it's brilliant.
773
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,360
And we need to get a win
and get the team back
774
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,160
to where it belongs.
775
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,280
[upbeat music]
776
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,480
[groans]
777
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,320
[coach] 3-5-5, nice, Aub.
778
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,400
[Arteta] I feel lucky because I feel
that the players,
779
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,920
they are really convinced
of what we are trying to do.
780
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,560
[cheers]
781
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,040
[Alexandre] Guys, we start
to win tomorrow.
782
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,600
You know if we lose and we don't score,
783
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,680
we're going to be
the worst start of Arsenal...
784
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,400
No, the worst start of the Premier League.
-In history?
785
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,160
In the history of the Premier League.
786
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,120
Wow.
787
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,200
No, bro, we're gonna score,
we're gonna win.
788
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,320
I think 3-0 or 3-1.
789
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:54,520
[Alexandre] Why 3-1?
790
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,920
-That means we always concede a goal.
-[Bukayo] I said 3-0 or 3-1.
791
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,040
The coach say clean sheet.
792
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,160
[tense music]
793
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,440
[narrator] Many football pundits
believe that if Mikel loses this match,
794
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,760
it will be his last at Arsenal.
795
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,840
After three league games,
it's no goals and nine conceded.
796
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,760
This is the definition of a must-win.
797
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,560
I think this game
is absolutely crucial today,
798
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:30,960
three points is a must.
799
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,200
I think anything less than a clean sheet
800
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:34,960
and a win, no.
801
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,160
It's good that we've got
four players coming back,
802
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,400
so we should be all guns blazing
803
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,560
and let's just hope he picks
the right squad.
804
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,920
[hubbub]
805
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,520
-[mother] Hi, we have...
-[father] We've got car parking.
806
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,800
[mother] For Aaron Ramsdale.
807
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,960
We've been told just to say his name,
we've got a space.
808
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:53,960
Thank you.
809
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,960
[narrator] The Ramsdale family are
dedicated followers of their son, Aaron.
810
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,320
Hi. Hello there.
811
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,760
Other than covid, I think my mum and dad
812
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,400
have missed two games probably
in three or four years.
813
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,760
So to know I have them in the stands,
it's great for me.
814
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,680
He's playing!
815
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,520
Hey hey!
816
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,640
Fuck me, he's fucking starting.
817
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,120
[commentator] Well it's a debut
after just one training session
818
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,760
for the 22-year-old Japan international
Takehiro Tomiyasu.
819
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,040
But the big news is that Aaron Ramsdale
is preferred in goal to Bernd Leno
820
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,120
and Ramsdale makes
his first league start for Arsenal.
821
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,440
[father] He's just come out on the pitch.
822
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:45,040
[whistling]
823
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,000
[Aaron] I give a wave to my mum
each game, and it's just nice,
824
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:55,040
you know, it's making them proud,
and it's just great to have their backing,
825
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,360
because I know
if I've done well, they'll tell me,
826
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,840
if I've done badly,
my dad definitely will tell me, so...
827
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,640
He's on the front of the programme.
828
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,640
[laughs]
829
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,160
[interviewer] Do you think without
830
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,040
their dedication or encouragement
you'd be here?
831
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:11,280
No.
832
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:12,560
No.
833
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,320
There's no need to go
further than that,
834
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,520
absolutely not. No.
835
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,360
There'd be no way I'd be sat here
right now without them two.
836
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,280
[mother] How does he feel?
That's what I think.
837
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,000
How does he feel?
838
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,920
I mean, I know he's buzzing but good God.
839
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,920
[indistinct announcement over loudspeaker]
840
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,160
Excited now.
841
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,320
[narrator] It's been a long,
emotional week for Mikel
842
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,520
and now he's ready to tell his team
exactly how he feels.
843
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,520
Good afternoon, guys.
844
00:44:57,240 --> 00:45:00,920
Today I want to share with you
a personal emotion
845
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,200
and the reason why I'm here.
846
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,040
In many industries,
847
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,480
there are high performance teams.
848
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,360
And these high performance teams
are called like this
849
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,600
because they all have something in common,
850
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,480
because they get results.
851
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,840
When I was born,
I was born with a big heart disease.
852
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,160
And for two years,
they have to try to save my life
853
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,680
till I have the opportunity
to have the first open surgery in Spain.
854
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,560
So, a high performance team,
not a football team or a basketball team,
855
00:45:37,720 --> 00:45:39,440
for example, it can be...
856
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:41,520
an emergency team.
857
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,160
That's the ones that work,
for example, in hospitals.
858
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:45,680
So, these teams
859
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,400
have to be surrounded
by people who are very special.
860
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,840
They're willing to work 24/7.
861
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,200
They do it only for one reason,
862
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,080
because they love what they do.
Nothing else.
863
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,800
That's their drive
and that's their purpose.
864
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:01,640
I'm going to share something with you.
865
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,040
This is me.
866
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:05,080
This is my emotional status.
867
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,520
In the last fourteen days, one to ten.
868
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,560
Post Man City, I was here.
869
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,120
Dead, I was here.
870
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,600
I have fear.
871
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,200
I have insecurities.
872
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,560
I have the media that is killing me.
873
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,240
Suddenly, I have all the positives.
874
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,800
I have an incredible family,
a wife, three kids.
875
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,280
Another one:
876
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:40,800
the club,
877
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,720
always supporting me,
from the top, the owner, everybody.
878
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:46,120
The biggest gap here,
879
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,680
the moment that I go from here to there
like this...
880
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,480
is you guys.
881
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,080
Because this week,
I have found the purpose,
882
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,240
why I want to be a coach,
why I'm in this industry,
883
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,120
why I have to be with these people.
884
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,560
So, for this, guys, what I have to say
885
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,440
only, from my side,
886
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,160
is thank you so much to all of you
887
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,600
because you made,
in a difficult moment,
888
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,360
the best week of my football career.
889
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,200
Believe in yourselves, I do.
You are really good.
890
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:23,280
The last thing I want to do as a coach,
is blame any of you in difficult moments.
891
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,840
My responsibility, I take the shit.
892
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,200
Let's go.
893
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,480
[epic music]
894
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,840
[bell rings]
895
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,560
[cheers]
896
00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:45,840
[commentator] Both Arsenal and Norwich
will want to forget
897
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,480
about the first three games
in the Premier League season,
898
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,880
and try to lift the spirits
of a frustrated fan base.
899
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,880
[announcer] Arsenal starting in goal:
goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale!
900
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,280
[cheers]
901
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:01,240
Come on!
902
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,240
[music continues]
903
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,960
[commentator] And Arsenal
get this match underway,
904
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,560
a big roar goes up
around the stadium.
905
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,080
Tomiyasu coming up after him.
906
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,360
Tzolis.
907
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:25,600
Early ball in.
908
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,760
[mother] Save it, Aaron! Save it, Aaron!
909
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,440
[commentator] Pulls it right across,
nobody there.
910
00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:34,680
Max Aarons.
911
00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:36,040
Tries a shot.
912
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:37,560
[mother] Save it, Aaron!
913
00:48:37,720 --> 00:48:38,880
[commentator] It's a good save.
914
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,480
[father] Fucking hell.
915
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,200
[commentator] Back from Williams,
Dowell plays one in,
916
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,520
takes a deflection right through to Pukki.
917
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,560
Ramsdale did well, read it well.
918
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:48,960
Well done, Aaron.
919
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:51,640
[mother] Not across your box.
920
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:52,920
Fucking hell, Aaron!
921
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,880
[commentator] Arsenal are being
penned back a little bit.
922
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,760
Oh, Ramsdale is cool.
923
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:01,720
[cheers]
924
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,640
Fucking nothing to do
with my fucking heart...
925
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,520
[commentator] Here come the Canaries
immediately with Tzolis.
926
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,400
A long shot from distance well off-target.
927
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,800
Maitland-Niles looking for Aubameyang.
928
00:49:17,720 --> 00:49:20,000
So can Arsenal get some players
into that box?
929
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,600
Aubameyang...
930
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:23,600
Might drop it to Saka.
931
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,040
Takes a deflection, must be... no!
932
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,040
Fucking hell.
933
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:31,200
[tense music]
934
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:39,960
[commentator] Hanley trying
to win it back.
935
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:41,400
Saka's got away from him.
936
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,080
Chance for Arsenal now.
937
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,200
It must be in. Hit the post again.
It must be.
938
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,160
Aubameyang has bottled it in!
939
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,040
[cheers]
940
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,240
Looks like Arsenal have finally
got their season up and running.
941
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,560
[upbeat music]
942
00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:14,520
Here comes Smith-Rowe, he's away,
this could finish the job.
943
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,040
Save by Krul.
944
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,240
[whistle]
945
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:24,920
There goes the final whistle.
946
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,320
Relief all round here for Mikel Arteta
and his coaching staff.
947
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,960
Yes, get in!
948
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:34,480
Fucking get in!
949
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:38,360
[commentator] And the all-important
three points
950
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,480
are off the bottom thankfully
of the Premier League table
951
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,800
and hopefully now,
its onwards and upwards.
952
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,520
[Arteta] Emotionally,
a difficult game to play.
953
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:50,880
Obviously after three defeats,
954
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,000
coming here,
you're sitting bottom of the table,
955
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,000
and everything to prove,
956
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,720
but I think the boys played
with a tremendous character,
957
00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:58,680
great attitude.
958
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,920
Right from the beginning,
you could see what we wanted to do.
959
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,120
[Arteta] It was a really difficult game
to play
960
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:04,680
because I know emotionally
how you were feeling,
961
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,200
I know the pressure is building
around the crowd.
962
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,520
I thought you were terrific, guys.
Your attitude was fucking spot on.
963
00:51:10,720 --> 00:51:12,520
Thank you so much. Well done.
964
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,520
[applause]
965
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:21,360
[journalist] You've spoken
ever since you come in about
966
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,920
getting that connection
between the players and the fans.
967
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:25,160
[Arteta] Yes.
968
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,680
I'm extremely grateful because
I know that it's a difficult moment,
969
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,320
but I just saw a crowd
that wanted to inspire the team.
970
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:35,960
I wouldn't say he won over some fans,
971
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:37,800
but I would say he definitely bought
some time.
972
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,640
Now the games that we've got,
they are all must-wins.
973
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,720
[fan] I think he's got to get a positive
result at the North London derby,
974
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,080
then a lot more fans
975
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,360
will feel a bit more relaxed but
there's still a lot of pressure on him.
976
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,640
Imagine scoring
in the North London derby, bro.
977
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,800
I've scored in a few derbies
here at home,
978
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,600
so I know what's the feeling.
979
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:06,640
[fan] Derby Day means everything.
980
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,560
You're taught
to hate Tottenham from birth.
981
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:10,560
[Arteta] I just picture myself
the whole week
982
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,040
in a position where we are winning
that game.
983
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,440
This is as big as it gets.
984
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,080
[cheers]
985
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:19,520
[commentator] Oh, it's hit the bar.
Saved by Ramsdale.
986
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:20,880
[cheers]
987
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,080
[upbeat music]
