Arsenal, Arteta: “It’s not easy to play against Atalanta. Calafiori? He’s an extra weapon”

Mikel Artetacoach of theArsenalgave an interview to Sky Sports immediately after the match drawn againstAtalanta at the Gewiss Stadium.

How do you rate the match?
“We started very well, it’s not easy to adapt against Atalanta. We didn’t suffer anything defensively but we didn’t have control of the game. Raya made two great saves. We congratulate Atalanta, who are working very well. We have collected a point and now we are thinking about Sunday’s match against Manchester City. It’s not easy to play against Atalanta. Maybe if you score the first goal it’s different but today it wasn’t easy”.

What is Arsenal’s problem?
“We can improve. Even against Tottenham we didn’t manage possession well. We have to dominate the game.”

Is Calafiori an additional weapon?
“Yes, definitely. That’s why we took him. Even in these games he takes positions and after a difficult week I think he came in very well”
