Arteta calls for home crowd support at Emirates Stadium
The Spanish tactician went on further to stress the importance of playing in front of their home crowd and forming a connection with them, saying that it is important for a club that wants to win to have a connection with its supporters.
I don’t know any top teams or winning teams that don’t have that connection with the club and with the supporters," Arteta explained.
"I just had a person who I love that I haven't seen for a while, it’s the first time he’s been at the stadium for two years and he says it’s the best he’s seen ever since he was at Highbury."
