. And you can see that some of the players who were substituted received enthusiastic cheers from the fans - they have established a connection with the fans, which is exactly what we need. This connection can bring confidence to players, inspire their fighting spirit, and make them eager to do better. All new players are in good shape at the moment. ”

Regarding the depth of the lineup, is this specially prepared for the Champions League? After all, the Champions League is equivalent to another league season.

"Yes. It is obvious that the players have a very heavy game task this season, and they may have to play 70 to 74 games, which is unprecedented intensity. When the intensity of the game reaches this level, it is difficult for players to stay at their peak, so we need more players. Now the level of the league and European competition is improving, and we need better players, there is no doubt about this. ”

Before the game, you mentioned the outside world's views on your team and the team's tactical ideas when playing against Liverpool. Obviously, the results of the game against Liverpool are completely different from today. Do you think the team's preparation attitude in these two games is different from the desire to win?

"There is no difference, it is exactly the same. If you've attended our pre-match preparation meeting, you'll understand this. ”

You mentioned Maduaike before. Can you tell me in detail what different things he brought to the team? I feel that he will advance decisively as soon as he gets the ball.

"Yes, he has very courage - I will use 'courage' to describe him. Obviously, his skills are excellent, and more importantly, he dares to make breakthroughs. When we were about to sign him, we could feel the positive atmosphere around him. I talked to him and he said, ‘I can’t wait to put on my jersey and play for you’. I thought, ‘Wow, I must sign him’. If I had just been convinced that he was competent before, now I am more convinced that he will shine. He has a strong explosive power and can sprint repeatedly - to do this physically, he needs extremely strong physical strength, and he obviously has this. At the same time, he is skilled, has a variety of tactics, and is very willing to learn. And he can bring happiness to the team. You see, he always smiles and dares to try new moves; even if he fails one time, he will immediately devote himself to the next time. This is the creative player I like - if you want to succeed, the team cannot do without such players. ”

The team scored 8 goals in two home games and conceded only 1 goal in 4 games so far this season. Although they lost to Liverpool before, do you think Arsenal has reached a new level this year? Judging from its current performance, what signal does Arsenal send in the championship?

"This is our goal, but we need to come one by one. No matter what we say or want to do, the key lies in action - what we need to do now is to review the game, find out where to improve, strive to score more goals, and be more dominant at all stages of the game. Then prepare one by one, striving to win the game in Bilbao. It would be a wonderful contest, and I hope everyone can go to the scene - Bilbao is one of the best cities in northern Spain, and I am there, I believe you will like it. The atmosphere of the court there is great and it is great for football. ”

Regarding several new players, they obviously quickly integrated into the team and had an immediate impact. Did you expect them to adapt so quickly? After all, they performed well.

"Yes. I never doubt they can understand our tactical needs, fit into the locker room, nor do they have the support of the fans. But things on the football field need to be ‘run-in’ and early success requires a smooth performance to build confidence. We strive to create a good environment for them, and they are outstanding in themselves. I am so happy to see their contribution so early now – it’s obvious that they will bring great value to the team. ”
