Mikel Arteta answers Jamie Carragher's Quickfire Questions 🚀 

I remember 2 seasons ago after tottenham beat arsenal 2-0 which took spurs top of the league and arsenal down to 14th and everyone was screaming Arteta out mourinho said "I want to say congratulations to Mikel. Tactically they are becoming so so good. I've been in football for a long time and I can read situations in advance and Arteta is doing a fantastic job with this team. I know now people will hear this and laugh but I think they will be such a threat when he gets his plan across" He was right. Arteta is the best proof that sometimes you need to give managers more than a few months

if Arsene make you its captain and pep choose you to be his assistant manager with no experience right away. YOU ARE SPECIAL.

The spookiest thing about Arteta is that he's so tactically sound that he was being recruited by the best manager in the world while he was still Arsenal captain, Pep literally tried to speed up his process to working with Arteta, thats a ridiculous endorsement of your potential.

Don't matter how long this guys stays (and I hope he's here for quite a while ) he will be known as the man who gave Arsenal back to the fans ❤️

His focus, clarity of thought and communication skills is impressive for such a young and inexperienced manager. I believe he will be a very successful manager

Such a Humble guy. What he has done, at arsenal, in such short time, is amazing.

Loving these Arteta x Carragher series. Good stuff.

Blessed to witness him as Arsenal's manager. He’s class. He's Arsenal through and through and his football IQ is elite. He saved the club.

Pep said we created a monster in Arteta. I think he's right. Roots in tiki taka Barcelona, battle hardened in the SPL & Prem, played with some of the best ever and worked with the best manager in Pep. A recipe for football perfection?

We're witnessing the making of one of the greatest managers in the game.

Ofcourse, everyone says thierry henry was the toughest opponent they faced.. Carra, rio, terry, gerrard, now arteta.. guy was just better that everyone at that time.

jamie, that's how you do it. could see he was well prepared with his questions but also, he listened and used mikel's answers as a base for better questions. keep it up jamie!

Nah I can't believe anyone will watch or listen to Arteta's interviews and hate or dislike him. Tears in my eyes seeing other team's fans singing his praise and talking about how likeable he is as a coach and a person. To even come to Arsenal at the stage we were in as a young and a rookie coach/manager is remarkable because the environment at the club at that time was setup for the next manager to fail than to succeed. I doubt there are alot of young managers out who knows what they're about like him. This guy has everything planned and knows exactly the results that comes out of what he has planned and put in place. His vision, communication skill, ability to work and/or transform young players, ability to work with his coaching staff as a team and his humbleness says alot about how great a manager he is or will be. I'm so happy I believed and trusted him right from the beginning and also through the difficult times. I wouldn't change him for any manager in the world not even for Pep or Klopp. I hope and dream that one day I will get a chance to work with or have a big conversation to get his ideas and what he thinks of certain things not only as a manager but a human being because the greatness I see in him is beyond just football and if I don't get to work with him or meet him I hope he writes a book with I'll be so happy to get.

Probably one of the brightest upcoming elite coach in world sports, not only football but world sports

As a Rangers fan I really hope Arteta finds great success as a manager as he was a great player for us once. Sometimes wonder how things may have panned out had Rangers had the foresight to go after him while he was still a coach at City instead of going for Steven Gerrard and Arsenal going for Arteta. But he suits Arsenal well and I really hope yous do something special this season! 🔴🔵

Arsenal have got a gem of a manager, the fans needs to be patient with what he’s doing.

He was so shy at the very beginning of his tenure but now he and his team believe in their abilities and his tactics Love the honesty 1:32

Mikel Arteta is such a humble and honest person. I'm very happy he's our manager and Arsenal are lucky to have him. Come on Arsenal

We need to keep Mikel. He is a future star of world football. We are a lucky club to have him.

credit to arteta he's outlasted all player managers at the top level in their first job in the last 3 years. examples Ollie at man u, lampard at Chelsea and Steven Gerrard. I slated arteta wen he came in due to no experience at a club of our level but I can honestly say I was wrong big up arteta he's transformed our club and the fans are connected

We are getting to the point where kids these days are too young to remember prime Henry. I think they just assume it’s Arsenal fans bigging up their old player. Just listen to the awe in how Arteta, Carragher, Rio, Neville describe playing against him.

I used to watch that PSG team. Arteta, Ronaldinho and Okocha. Okocha and Ronaldinho were killing teams. That was a really good team no ever talks about. Forgotten in history lol.

Arteta looks up to Cruyff and Pep. That’s the kind of football we want to see more of.

This is not quick fire. This is slow cook. Cook to perfection ❤️

People forget, this guy has played under, and with, genius's of the game throughout his life....Pep Guardiola, Johan Cruyff, Ronandinho, Arsene Wenger just to name a few....the footballing, and emotional intelligence of the guy is absolutely ridiculous.

He’s completely changed this club…. What a manager!

you KNOW we’re doing well when sky sports start giving us coverage like this

I can’t lie, I love this man, we’re the same age, and I feel very connected to his process as a professional. People love to banter and hate, but he’s so young and working magic at Arsenal. I really do look up to the way he speaks and communicates, something I’d love to implement with my clients for the future.

It's pretty clear that both Arteta and Arsenal have benefitted from being prepared to eat some pretty awful end of season finishes, and stay the course. Makes you wonder how many other young successful managers there would be if they were given the time that Arsenal have given Arteta.

Started as Quick fire questions, then turned into an interview 😂😂

Arteta is one of the best coach in the premier league

I think we all underestimated him severely at the start. I think he’s gonna prove himself as one of the greats.

Extremely humble but extremely confident is how I would summarize Mikel’s career as a world class footballer and world class coach

i love how he’s gone full 180 with the media they all love him now

As a city fan, it's not a coincidence that our best ever seasons statistically were with arteta as assistant coach. Top guy who I'm sure will win arsenal silverware and put them back at the top level in the Premier league.

In Arteta we trust ❤

The players that were involved in that PSG Era - Gabriel Heinze, Mikel Arteta, Mauricio Pochettino, Nicholas Anelka, Jay-Jay Okocha, Cisse, Ronaldinho then to top that off, they had a balling Shirt!! Wow!!

'You can copy [your mentors], but you can't copy and paste unfortunately, it doesn't work like that'. That's a genius take from Arteta.

Did not expect Australian cricket to get a mention here

Great interview.

such a quality manager. feel lucky to have him as a gooner

More of these please: so many interesting managers - would be good to see Ten Haag, Howe or Potter

My manager admires Henry, Ronaldinho and Okocha, makes alot of sense

I honestly hope we keep this man for a minimum of 10 years. I think his blend of experience is golden and shows in this arsenal side who are in their infancy. He said about pep viewing himself as defensive, arteta doesnt see control and game state quite so cynically and I think that means we get peps possession football but more aggressive and creative

Everyone names Thierry as their toughest opponent. What a player

People were crying out for (and some idiots still are) a big name manager like Conte, Tuchel, Allegri etc but I guarantee none of them would have done what Arteta has. They would have come in and force their style and ideas onto the club but they would not have taken the time to completely rebuild the club which what was needed as you look at Spurs and Conte is trying to force his ideas but he’s struggling because the club isn’t in a place where you can just come in and start winning things. People still don’t seem to understand what a rebuild is, starting at the foundations, ripping things up, even things some might not understand why’ like getting rid of Leno who people thought was good enough. Despite the money spent, we are still in the middle of the rebuild. I believe the final phase of his five phase plan will be similar to Man City in having a bench pretty much as good as your starting eleven.

Mikel is very good and very humble. Impressed. It’s to Pep’s credit that he recognised it so early. Mikel will win the PL no doubt. It’s just a question of time.

Very sound and precised

Guys gonna go far, he’s some manager. What a player he was. WATP 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

There would never be any real success without a good process. Mikel is proving it true once again to all the naysayers who want to succeed overnight.

Love this guy man ❤

Seriously quick fire questions these

Even without the experience of management at the top level ,Mikel is an intelligent & very driven & passionate person who has the club at heart & will do almost anything to be succesful at Arsenal ....Good luck & COYG

Great manager

is this part 2 of the interview or just something extra? still looking for the part 2

Went from quick fire questions to an interview lol

Mikel is a very smart man !!

We are witnessing the upcoming of a great manager!

You can see the intellect behind this man’s eyes, proper leader

There's a part in All or Nothing were he asks a player how they visualise their phone number, in groups of digits. And then he compares it to football. This guy's mind is built different.

Well spoken guy who knows what he is speaking

Never had any doubts with this man.

Mikel Arteta We Love 💕

The greatest of football managerial talent ❤

Our super mik Arteta was inspired by the likes of Ronaldinho and Okocha. Brilliant

i love arteta my manager!!!!!!!

Is this the part 2???

that was def very quickfire bro!!

Since 2004 this is first real chance for Arsenal to win PL. It will be a great story and achievement if it happens.

Really likeable man.. from a Liverpool fan

He's gonna be great

Liverpool fan but I love listening to arteta speak he’s very qualified and intelligent person

Loved Arteta at The Famous! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Forget the manager, what a fantastic career as player

mikel has grown into the job

Mikel is right - you cannot copy and paste in sports that evolve. The NFL is a great example, it used to be all about rushing yards, running backs, QB's really only ever threw the ball. Now you have Josh Allen, Patrick Maholmes, Justin Fields etc all often running in touchdowns. The Punt returners are nowhere near the Devin Hester level. So in 15 years it's changed a lot. Same as our game, defence is not in the main, by keeping the ball and wearing down the opponent.

Super Mik Arteta!

As Rangers fan loved when he played for Rangers! if only he was a manager for Rangers 😁 but he's doing excellent job at Arsenal, all Arsenal fans are lucky to have him as manager

As an evertonian who loved this fella I feel a bit gutted he didn't say more about us and our fans he was adored

I'm a fan. Yep.

Top class

I knew from the first interview he did as an Arsenal manager that he was the man to resurrect the mighty Gunners. He basically burned it up and rebuilt. A lot of people didn’t like it and started their agendas making fun of him calling him Pep’s cones man etc. and the word project was ridicule but look at him now a rising superstar of a manager and his methods will be used as a blueprint for any team that wants a meaningful rebuild. Got to feel the pain before the gain. UP THE GUNNERS.

He has some insane untapped potential

Influenced by cruyff, captained under Wenger, mentored by Pep, he’s cooking

Super Mik and his wisdom… again!❤️

He mentioned okocha😍

We’ve got Super Mik Arteta

Love the fact he still shows respect for Rangers, Arsenal have chosen the right boss

Brought up in his football youth on Cruyff's principles, played aside the likes of Ronaldinho is his first few years, follow that up by playing in the physical toughness of the Scottish League, premier league player and captain for around 10 years and then under the mentorship of Pep and a top top city side for 3 seasons

I was angry 😡 when he was appointed but now I accept defeat I was wrong🤦🤦🤣

I never knew he played alongside Ronaldinho and okocha

First half of the season hv been amazing. Hope he cn maintain till the end of the season. He just need some few signing in january especialy Partey reliable bckup cover Gabriel jesus reliable bckup cover Gabriel magalhaes backup cover Atleast tht minimum 2-3 right quality player to end this season on high

Johan Cruyff revolutionised football as a player and also as a manager. He coached a young Pep Guardiola. Pep Guardiola then revolutionised football himself (as a manager) and taught Arteta how to be a manager/coach.

He played with Ronaldinho and Okocha, you easily forget

He brought back Victoria Concordia Crescit.. victory through harmony 🔴⚪

2:00😂😂

Super Mik Arteta

Great player at rangers never forget young boy stood up last min and score the penalty for our 50 th title

If we win the league I’ll build a statue of Mikel in my home and worship him each blessed day

Arsenal has got a manager for the next decade if they treat him right! Let's hope they get the cash out for this guy to take it to the next level. City fan but it's good to see Arsenal back on top was a huge team growing up
