‘I need you’ – Mikel Arteta breaks protocol to rally Arsenal fans before PSG game
Mikel Arteta has taken his pre-game manager notes viral, addressing Arsenal fans directly ahead of one of the biggest games in their history. The Gunners are competing for their second-ever Champions League final and Arteta made sure supporters knew what was at stake with a message before facing Paris Saint-Germain. Arteta addressed the fans directly from the pitch@Arsenal Speaking directly to camera on the club’s social media channels, he said: “It’s our time. It’s time to make it happen. “I need you, I need the person next to you, I need that connection, I want you to play every single ball with us, every pass, every tackle, every run, every decision. “You need to live the energy of the stadium and the people next to you. I count on you, let’s make it happen.” Arteta gave the message on the Emirates pitch ahead of one of the stadium’s biggest nights. The arena opened in 2006, shortly after Arsenal’s only Champions League final appearance where they lost to Barcelona in Paris. That game was at the Stade de France, and they’ll be returning to the French capital to the Parc des Princes for the second leg on May 7. Hoping to travel across the channel with a lead, Arteta is breaking protocol and using some unorthodox motivational tactics for the opener in London. Premier League managers normally give a message to supporters in the match programme in what’s known as their ‘pre-game notes’. Yet Arteta has taken his to the pitch and social media in an attempt to switch things up. The Spaniard is still in his first senior coaching role, having taken over at his old club in 2019. Arteta has won silverware as Arsenal manager but a Champions League final would be something elseAP Some of his unusual methods have been shown on the club’s All or Nothing documentary, while more recent tricks like having a dog permanently at the training ground have been praised by the players. Yet this latest attempt to gain an advantage is aimed directly at the fans, with Arteta well aware of how the Emirates can become his team’s 12th man. Speaking in his official press conference before facing former side PSG, he said: “I tell them, and I’m not exaggerating here: ‘Guys, bring your boots, bring your shorts, bring your T-shirts and let’s play every ball together’. “We want to do something special. The place has to be something special, something that we haven’t seen. “I really hope that everybody that comes to the Emirates and is watching and following us, brings that energy with them.”
