Mikel Arteta has called on Arsenal fans to create the most electric atmosphere ever at the Emirates Stadium for the crucial north London derby against Tottenham on Wednesday. The manager hopes the fans’ support will inspire the team in this pivotal match.
Arsenal comes into the derby after two disappointing home defeats. They lost to Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final and were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United in a penalty shootout. Frustration among fans was evident, with some leaving early during those games, especially after Joshua Zirkzee’s winning penalty for United.
When asked for his message to the fans, Arteta emphasized the importance of their support. He said, “Let’s create the best atmosphere the Emirates has ever seen. This is something we can control, and it’s in our hands to make it happen.”
Arteta believes a strong atmosphere can make a big difference, not just for the Tottenham game but for the rest of the season. He explained how positive energy from the fans can influence the team’s performance and boost morale across the club. “We’ve seen how much it can impact outcomes,” he said. “It’s up to us to make that choice.”
