Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been one of the best managers in the Premier League this season. He has been the talk of the town, as to how his Arsenal team have done brilliantly this season. With that being said, the Spaniard sat down with former Liverpool centre-back turned Pundit Jamie Carragher for an interview and the Liverpool NewsNow reported the whole chat.
Every fan was hooked onto this talk. It was very professional, polite and fun to watch at times. The duo had a smile on their face and in general Carragher has been one of the unbiased Pundits (unlike Gary Neville). This made it a rather smooth interview.
Keeping that in mind, the two had a good chat and discussed various topics. It was both to do with on and off the field questions. And knowing Mikel Arteta, he opened up rather easily too, with an individual who showed him respect. It was for the Sky Sports Premier League channel.
Liverpool NewsNow: What Was The Overall Mood Of The Chat In This Particular Interview!?
We know that Mikel can be quite straight-forward at times. Also, he is very honest about what he says too. He speaks from his heart and that is what makes things even better. And there were a multiple number of topics that were addressed during the conversion.
With that being said, Carragher is one individual who believed in the Arsenal project. Though there is no doubt that he is a die-hard Liverpool fan, he could see what the Gunners were doing. And he has been vocal about it right from the start.
This could possibly be one of the key reasons, as to why he was chosen to do the ‘asking’. Otherwise, there were multiple other options too, including some ex-Arsenal players.
What Did Mikel Arteta Say That The Barcelona Fans Would Have Mixed Reactions About And How Does It Impact Xavi In The Long Run!?
Currently, Mikel Arteta is on top of the Premier League table. On the other hand, Xavi and his Barcelona side look favourites to win the La Liga title. They are 12 points ahead of 2nd placed Real Madrid, who are just not up to the mark this season, as they try to defend their League title.
However, despite that, once a manager wins the League in Spain, the expectations are to go beyond that and win the Champions League. This is where a serious problem could arise for Xavi. Barcelona does not have the money at present. And if things don’t change in the long-run, the club will take some sort of action.
Mikel Arteta came out in this interview and said that he is a Barcelona fan. We know that he spent his youth career with the La Masia academy. He is still in love with the club and has great memories of his time there. With that being said, if the club ever come calling for him in the long-run and if Arteta believes that he has done all that he could for Arsenal and calls it quits, the former Everton and Arsenal skipper could replace Xavi someday.
Well, whether it will be a good thing for the Catalan giants or not, remains to be seen. However, maintaining the consistency is a must for sure. Clubs like Barca and PSG have already been linked with Arteta. So has Real Madrid. However, as per the Liverpool NewsNow, we all know where his heart truly is!!
