Arteta reveals clothes superstition

The former Arsenal player, in an interview with Daily Telegraph, has revealed how he takes his attention to details to another level by keeping a superstition with his outfits.

“Yeah, it is very methodical. I am a very methodical, routine person. When we are winning, I don’t like to change my clothes, I like to maintain exactly the same jumper, trousers and shoes as before. If we lose, I change to something different,” he said.

“I think at a high-performance level, you have to be consistent, things are demanding, you want to be detailed and precise. But at the same time you need to leave some room for creativity. I love that mixture,” he added.

As reported by Sport Bible, Diego Simeone is the most superstitious manager in the world. Arsenal midfielder Jorginho also revealed that former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri keeps strict to his superstitions, as reported by Sun UK.

Arteta sends message to embattled Potter

Arteta does not only look out for his outfits. He looks out for his colleagues. He sent a message of support to Graham Potter as the Chelsea boss faces an uncertain future, as reported by Sports Brief.

The Blues are on a poor run of form with just two wins in 17 games, which has mounted pressure on the former Brighton manager, who only took over in London last September.

Potter compared his current situation to that of Arteta, who has undergone a similar run of form in charge of the Gunners and are now top of the league.
