The head coach of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, expressed his gratitude to the club management for the depth of the squad after the victory over Olympiacos in the second round of the group stage of the Champions League.
Mikel Arteta, Getty Images“With all due respect, when we looked at the bench last season, there were five academy players who probably had never played in the Champions League, so the depth of the squad makes a difference.
We decided to make six changes in the team because I want everyone to be involved in the process and feel part of it, and that was great. We also felt that we had dropped physically a bit after a really intense match against Newcastle a few days earlier,” Arteta was quoted by Sky Sports.
