Martin Odegaard: We didn't want to concede early; I don't pay attention to talk about Chelsea's attacking threat

In Arsenal's Premier League matchday 3 fixture on Sunday evening, Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-1 at home. After the match, Martin Odegaard shared his thoughts on the game in an interview with Sky Sports.

This was a fiercely contested Premier League clash. Did it feel like you'd just won a hard-fought battle?

Yes, absolutely. It was a very important and extremely difficult match. The opposition was very strong and the game was very intense. We fought until the end to get the victory, and our overall performance was excellent.

After going behind, your attacking momentum continued to build. Was this fighting spirit awakened by going down, or is last season's champion building on its foundation with new elements?

This is our fighting spirit. We will always fight to the end, and that's been proven many times. Conceding early certainly wasn't an ideal situation, but our reaction was excellent. I think we played well in the first half and could have scored more goals. We maintained our intensity in the second half and ultimately secured the victory. Overall, it was a superb performance.

Before the match, the media had hyped up Chelsea's attacking power. I don't know if you saw those comments, but if I were Martin Odegaard, Saka, or Havertz, I'd be somewhat motivated by such talk. Did you want to prove yourselves through your performance?

Actually, not really. To be honest, I don't pay much attention to media talk before the match like that, but today we answered with our quality both with and without the ball, and the result is the best proof.

You've scored 3 goals this season. Did you enjoy the understanding you showed with Havertz for this goal? You two are good friends off the pitch, so do you have that same rhythm on it?

He has high football intelligence and makes very smart runs that draw a lot of attention from defenders. When he makes a forward run and I push forward from behind, we often create space. It was a beautiful goal, and I'm very pleased.
