Willian who is a Brazilian footballer playing for Arsenal has stated clearly that he is still learning many things at the Emirates stadium under the Gunners’ manager Mikel Arteta.
Willian on Mikel Arteta: "I've not worked with a coach with that mindset. The positional game doesn’t mean that you have no freedom. You have freedom to move, but many times you have to respect the position, what the coach asks, understanding that it’ll be better for the team." pic.twitter.com/HVbyToFhcW

According to the report on Daily Mail, Willian explained that he is finding it challenging to cope with Mikel Arteta’s styles at the Emirates stadium. ‘It’s been a cool, new experience. I hadn’t worked with a coach with that mindset.

”It may happen that you don’t touch the ball and get frustrated, but Mikel always says that, wait a minute, the ball will arrive. I’ve been learning a lot.”

He played 234 games for Chelsea netting 37 goals between 2013-2020 before joining Arsenal where he has so far played five game.
