I prefer facts to words: Arteta on ‘dark arts’ claims

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has dismissed claims that his team engages in ‘dark arts’ on the pitch and instead emphasized his focus on facts over words.

Speaking in a press conference after a controversial game, Arteta stated, “I prefer to focus on the facts rather than getting involved in unnecessary debates.”

He went on to say, “I believe in fair play and respect for the rules of the game. Those are the values that we instill in our players and that is what I prioritize as a coach.”

Arteta’s comments come after his team was accused of diving and time-wasting during a recent match, sparking a heated debate among fans and pundits.

The Spaniard’s stance on the issue is clear: he values integrity and honesty in the game above all else.

“I understand that there will always be differing opinions and interpretations of events on the pitch, but I stand by my principles and beliefs,” Arteta affirmed.

He continued, “I would rather let our actions speak for themselves rather than engage in verbal spats.”

Arteta’s philosophy reflects a commitment to playing the game the right way and staying true to his values as a coach.

As Arsenal looks to continue their season with integrity and sportsmanship, Arteta’s words serve as a reminder of the importance of staying true to one’s principles in the face of controversy.
