Despite praising the club’s trajectory, Limpar warned that managing a squad filled with world-class talent will test Arteta’s leadership skills to the limit this season.<\/p>\n
“To have a world class team, you need ten world class outfield players, but you also need to have more than ten world class players who are on the bench or who don\u2019t even play,” Limpar explained. “This is the hardest job for a manager. It was hard for the likes of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp. It will be hard for Mikel Arteta too to keep his squad happy. That\u2019s the hardest thing. Arteta\u2019s real job only starts now. He has to be a master psychologist if he is to keep everyone engaged under his umbrella.”<\/p>\n
He added: “It\u2019s a tough business to be a manager at a top club, I can tell you that, but this has been Mikel Arteta\u2019s dream, to have the ten best players available every game, and there will be injuries, red cards and changes in form. If you look at the bench at those moments and the players are still not happy, it doesn\u2019t matter who you are. <\/p>\n
“It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s awkward coming into games like that. The players need to channel it. Come on thinking \u2018I am going to run for that mother f***er and show him\u2019 – that\u2019s where the psychology of football comes in when you\u2019re a danger. He\u2019s in a dangerous position if he gets it wrong.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite praising the club’s trajectory, Limpar warned that managing a squad filled with world-class talent will test Arteta’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[366,92,85,14678,272,100],"class_list":["post-66158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-arsenal","tag-barcelona","tag-laliga","tag-m-arteta","tag-manchester-city","tag-premier-league"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
