Talking about the importance of this victory, Arteta couldn't hide its joy: "This is an extremely critical result. The first game of the season was challenging Manchester United away, which is of great significance. It is very exciting to feel that Manchester United is working hard to create a new situation through new players, and they are eager to have a good start in the new season, and we have successfully won the game. He believes that this victory demonstrates the team's determination and focus on the whole season. "Today we have shown our determination in different aspects, such as scoring with set pieces and positive reactions to mistakes. The players' handling of mistakes gives us a chance to win, which reflects our competitive spirit and desire to win."

Arteta also pointed out that winning when performing poorly is crucial to the team throughout the season: "This will undoubtedly bring motivation and confidence. The whole season is as long as 10 Months, we will face various situations, and the team needs this resilience. Of course, we have many places that need improvement, and we will adjust as soon as possible in the future. "

Argent had problems such as passing mistakes on the offensive end. In this regard, Arteta said: "There were seven or eight times that could have passed excellent balls, but missed the balls, causing a chaotic pace of the game. Facing Manchester United with excellent finishing ability, this mistake is fatal. So you have to respond quickly and keenly to the mistakes, otherwise you will be in trouble."

For the debut of new player Yorke, Arteta commented: "He has many outstanding performances, especially in the high-pressure pressing in the previous hour. However, in some cases, he handled the ball for too long, which is where we want to help him improve. Due to previous offensive cooperation mistakes, he did not get many finishing opportunities, but overall performance is good. Being able to win the first game in Old Trafford is a good start." Speaking of Calafiori, Arteta praised his unique value, "He can change the team's aura, and his opponents can elusively understand his running position. He can play a role in both the penalty area and the midfield. I am very satisfied with him."

In addition, Arteta believes that Arsenal has overcome the psychological barriers of away games against the "six giants" in the past: "We haven't won the ball here for a long time before, but now we have done it, which is a positive signal."
