"Zinchenko and White lived in the same house these days and shared wives" - Arsenal head coach's fiery humour

Head coach of London Arsenal Mikel Arteta at a press conference on the eve of the match with Liverpool in the championship of England in a joking way responded to the question of whether the two players of his team - Alexander Zinchenko and Ben White, who quarrelled immediately after the end of the previous game "canoniers", with Nottingham Forest (2:1), have made up.

"Zinchenko and White these days lived in the same house, shared wives and everything! Now they live together, they are more than just mates," the Arsenal mentor said with a laugh in response to such a question from a journalist.

"And seriously, I will answer regarding this situation as follows. I think you don't argue with someone if you don't have a good relationship with that person. Such heated arguments happen because you have mutual trust and chemistry with someone - you react equally emotionally to some things and don't hide it.

That's why after the match with Nottingham Forest I said that I like such moments as the one with Zinchenko and White. As long as it happens with mutual respect and with the desire to become more demanding as a team, I am very happy with it.

And then, we may have a different understanding of the word "clash". It is quite possible that what happened can be called a conversation. Yes, it was a little heated and a little emotional conversation, but that can happen after a game in which you make 200 shots on the ball per minute. That's normal. It's nothing new," Arteta added.
