Arsenal had been under fire while preparing for their match against Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the Champions League final. Although some experts called Arteta's game overly pragmatic and boring, the former Milan and Juventus star stated he disagrees with these opinions.
"I like this style because it's not just about corners or crosses into the box. Arteta has been developing his specific style of play for several years. He studies every detail meticulously and is a very talented coach. Winning the Premier League and reaching the final is a huge achievement," Marca quotes Pirlo as saying.
Pirlo also highlighted the solidity of Arsenal's defense. According to him, the team's two central defenders are very strong, which gives confidence to the entire squad. Although PSG has many players capable of deciding the game through individual skill, Arsenal can gain an advantage through collective unity.
Mikel Arteta is now preparing for one of the most important matches of his career. In the final to be held in Budapest, he will engage in a tactical battle against PSG, managed by Luis Enrique. This match is expected to crown the London club's success on the European stage.
