In the third round of the UEFA Champions League, Arsenal will face Atletico Madrid at home. Before the game, Arsenal coach Arteta said when talking about Simeone's conflict with Liverpool fans that the coach has the responsibility to set an example.
In September, there was chaos after Atletico Madrid's 2-3 away game loss to Liverpool, and UEFA imposed a one-game ban on Simeone. Simeone has completed his suspension and will return to the coaching bench against Arsenal.
Arteta said in an interview: "If you react badly, we as coaches have a responsibility to set an example. I have made mistakes myself, but I try to learn from them and avoid making them again."
"It is difficult to control because you are defending your club, your players. Some small details may determine the outcome of the game. We have high emotions on the court. It's hard to control yourself. We will run with the players to celebrate the goal, which is natural, but it must be done in a respectful manner."
"Based on my years of experience, I try to stay calm, but it is really not easy to do at certain moments."
Arteta's coaching style is often compared to Simeone, who has coached at Atletico Madrid for 15 seasons.
Arteta said: "Obviously, he is someone I respect very much and I learn from him in many aspects. I think very highly of him. What he has achieved since he came to Atletico Madrid is outstanding, not only his results, but also what he has done in the club, the team, the spirit. It's very simple and clear, because the manager is the embodiment of these qualities. "It's very difficult to achieve this in a short period of time, and it's incredible to see him do it for 14 years."Mini-game recommendations:NoobWars
