Arteta a été interrogé sur Partey en conférence de presse aujourd'hui et ce qu'il dit est intéressant. Il est arrivé en meilleure condition que par le passé et il semble avoir évolué dans son éthique de travail.
on how pleasing it is to see Thomas Partey settled in the team:
He’s a massive player for us and he’s shown that week in, week out. He’s started the season really well, really fit. The way he came back post-holiday was probably in the best condition that he’s been, which was really helpful as well. Now he needs to continue to do that. We have managed certain minutes with him in the right way and the team is doing that, and then he’s doing everything he can as well to be in the best physical condition.
on if he’s back to his best now:
It’s about consistency. Obviously when you change certain habits and you want more consistency, things don’t happen overnight. If in two or three weeks it doesn’t happen and you throw in the towel, you’re going to waste the next two or three years of your career. He’s doing everything he can to be in that. I think his work ethic has been better than ever, defensively he’s been really solid and with the ball he had moments. They probably were his most complete performances because he gave us everything that we want from him and he can deliver that.
on if he's playing to earn a new contract:
We play him to find our best version and to be the most competitive team that we can be and try to win every single game.
La dernière question est magique, le journaliste a dit tout haut ce que l'on peut se questionner tout bas.
