Arteta coach prepares for North London Derby “Tottenham attacking team, Europe’s top class”
[골닷컴] Reporter Man-Sung Han = Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has expressed his caution about Tottenham’s attacking squad in the North London Derby.
Tottenham attracted great attention with Gareth Bale on loan from Real Madrid this season. This is because the expectation that the veil can add destructive power to the existing attackers leading to Son Heung-min and Harry Kane was inflated. Since then, Bale’s playing time has been jagged due to the recovery of his performance and subsequent injuries at the beginning of the season, but in recent years, he has gradually established himself within the team. Bale is scoring 5 goals and 3 assists in his recent 7 games, including the Cup.

Bale’s rise is bound to be a big boost to Son Heung-min and Kane, who have led the team’s attack from the beginning of this season. As of this season, Son Heung-min is making a big success with 18 goals and 16 assists, and Kane has 26 goals and 16 assists.
Manager Arteta praised Tottenham’s offensive team, who will clash in the home game of the 28th round of the 2020/21 English Premier League on the 15th (Korean time). “The quality, accuracy, and understanding of each other and the combination of the Tottenham strikers are the most special in Europe. They are players who do not need help. They can create opportunities for themselves. Because there is,” he explained.

“It is very difficult to block the Tottenham attack,” said Arteta. “But we have to find a way to stop them.”
If Arsenal defeats rival Tottenham on this day, it will set the stage for entering the top of the Premier League this season. Currently, Arsenal is in 10th place in the Premier League with 11 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses. However, the gap between 10th place Arsenal and 5th place West Ham United is 10 points. Arsenal, who has left 11 games this season, must accumulate as many points as possible from this point in order to reach the top.
