Mikel Arteta always goes above and beyond to motivate his Arsenal players. His unconventional methods have been a topic of discussion among fans and critics alike, but his latest tactic has left everyone scratching their heads. In the midst of a challenging 2021/22 season, Arteta turned to some unusual tactics to get his players in the right mindset.
In the Amazon Prime documentary 'All or Nothing', which followed Arsenal's journey throughout the season, Arteta's motivational techniques were put on full display. From bringing out speakers to recreate the atmosphere of Anfield, to using a lightbulb to symbolize the importance of teamwork, Arteta left no stone unturned in his quest to lead his team to success.
One of his most talked-about tactics was the use of professional pickpockets at a team dinner. The players were left stunned as they realized their personal belongings, such as wallets and phones, had been taken without them noticing. According to sources, this was Arteta's way of reminding his players to always be alert and focused, both on and off the pitch.
But that wasn't the only surprise Arteta had in store for his players. Before a rematch against Brentford, he reminded his team of Ivan Toney's antagonistic tweet by displaying it on a projector screen in the dressing room. And who could forget the team talk where Arteta used a lightbulb to inspire his players to create energy and shine on the field.
In April 2022, Arteta's methods took center stage in 'All or Nothing', showcasing his unique approach to motivating his players. His lightbulb team talk was a standout moment, where he reminded his players that their attitude and teamwork are what make them special. He urged them to go out on the field, turn the light on, and play with passion and determination.
Despite all the unconventional tactics, Arsenal's season ended on a high note, narrowly missing out on a spot in the Champions League. And as they continued their pre-season campaign with a 4-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen, it was clear that Arteta's methods had left a lasting impact on his team. Speaking after the match, Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance and his belief that there is still room for improvement.
No one knows what Arteta has in store for his team next, but one thing is for sure, his motivational tactics are anything but ordinary. Whether it's using pickpockets or lightbulbs, Arteta will go to great lengths to get his players fired up and ready to conquer the pitch. And as Arsenal fans eagerly await the new season, one can only wonder what other surprises Arteta has up his sleeve.
