Mikel Arteta has pushed back strongly against claims that his Arsenal side play negative or boring football.
The Arsenal manager insisted the perception outside England is very different, pointing to his team’s numbers and reputation across Europe.
“I hear completely the opposite, all around Europe that we are the most exciting team in Europe,” Arteta said.
“The most goals, the most clean sheets, the most this. Maybe I have different resources?”
Arteta also questioned where the criticism was coming from and suggested it does not reflect wider opinion.
“I don’t know which people [have said that]. You send me the names, the addresses, and the emails and maybe we can talk,” he added. “But I can give you a massive book of all the people [who don’t think that].”
