On dropping the Premier League championship, Arteta
Congratulations to City for winning the Championship, first and foremost. After everything we have accomplished this season, it is obviously a very sad day for us, but we must now face reality, according to Arteta as stated by Sky Sports.“Today, we gave a goal away and we were not good enough to break them down. We could have played here for three hours. So, face it, it is my responsibility and I have to take it.”
“The discomfort is severe. It is a really sad day because despite working for 11 months on a single project and spending so many days at the top while developing the zeal, the confidence, and the skills required to compete with Manchester City, we ultimately fell short for a variety of reasons.
“Now, recover. For the upcoming few days, heal. It is incredibly sad and heartbreaking. I must devise a strategy to motivate the players. We have a challenging week ahead of us and a tremendous responsibility since we will be playing [against Wolves] in front of our supporters. They deserve a really excellent match since they have been outstanding all season,” said the boss
