Head coach of London “Arsenal” Mikel Arteta admitted how he manages to maintain a good relationship with the coach of “Manchester City” Josep Guardiola after such difficult matches as there was between the teams in the 5th round of the Premier League (2:2).
“First of all, because I love him, admire him, am fascinated by his team and everything he does.
It’s a sport. One thing is our profession, the other is our personal relationships. If our relationship could be ruined by the fact that one of them drew and the other won, or after they beat us, I would not communicate with him anymore.
Therefore, our relationship is not like that, we have a special relationship. Sport will never stand in the way of personal relations between us. That’s for sure,” Arteta said.
Earlier, Mikel Arteta called him the best football player of all time.
