Arteta press conference: full transcript

Promising debuts for Gabriel and Willian, the risk he had to take with our new Brazilian defender, and his demands to the players this season.

All of that and more were on the agenda when Mikel Arteta sat down for his post-match 'virtual' press conference at Craven Cottage.

Here's a full transcript:

on Gabriel and Willian…
Yeah, they were both really good. Obviously for Willian it’s a little bit different because he knows the league, the country and he’s very settled here, so I knew his performances would happen straight away. With Gabriel it was a big challenge for him to come in today having not played any football for the last six months and he had a terrific performance.
