In the Premier League Round 3, Arsenal FC defeated Chelsea FC 2-1 at home with a comeback victory. After the match, Miguel Arteta, Arsenal FC's manager, attended a press conference to answer questions from the media.

Hello Miguel, after yesterday's match, you called it a team victory. Do you think today's performance was similar?

I thought our performance today was excellent. I enjoyed every minute of the game from start to finish. Even though the beginning was difficult, I still enjoyed it because the team's reaction afterwards was brilliant. The belief, the commitment, the intensity, and the constant threat we posed to our opponent were all outstanding. Yes, I think for the fans watching live, it was a very entertaining match as well. We deserved this victory, and I'm very pleased about that.

Before Morgan Rogers scored in this match, you hadn't conceded a goal all season. What have you learned from conceding in an important home match like this?

There were some things we didn't do well on the goal we conceded, which we've discussed. But we also have to credit the opponent. It's very difficult to meet a high ball like that precisely into the far post and beat David. However, after that, the team responded quickly at home. I think the fans showed incredible power again today. The atmosphere we created in the stadium is contagious and helped the team greatly as well. Yes, it felt like a solid victory.

Beyond the final scoreline, you created many other chances in the match. At times, this could have been a much larger victory. Before the match, Chelsea FC was considered the title favorites this season. Given today's performance, does this set an early benchmark for other teams in the league, indicating that Arsenal is highly competitive this season?

I think what first proves the team's quality is ourselves. We have the full capacity to play at a higher level than last season. The next step is whether we can maintain this hunger and humility, and commit to becoming better individuals and a stronger team every day. We still have much room for growth and great potential to unlock, which is the ambition of this team.

Regarding Ezri Consa's tackle on Morgan Rogers, can you comment on that?

That was a strong tackle—very English style! The crowd responded immediately. Some media sometimes seem to enjoy these moments even more than goals. That's brilliant. For Ezri's performance specifically, I'd say he played 11 minutes in the previous match and attended only five or six training sessions before that. Today, facing this kind of opponent, and when having to compete one-on-one with Pedro, his performance was outstanding.

Miguel, after three rounds of matches, only Arsenal FC and Manchester City remain undefeated in the Premier League. Does this indicate that the league is particularly competitive this season?

It will definitely be very difficult, which you can see from the goal differences in every match. A few days ago, we played away at Villa Park, which was a very tough contest, and today was no different. Next, we'll face Sunderland away, which will undoubtedly be another difficult match. We know that matches each week will be intense like this, but this is what our training and daily preparation is for.

Hello Miguel, please comment on Martín Ødegaard. When he's in this form and controlling the game, I'm at a loss for words. He's had difficult times over the past two years. What do you think has changed in him that allows him to control matches so freely, both physically and mentally?

First and foremost, he's in excellent physical condition now. In terms of confidence, I think this is the highest level I've ever seen from him. He also has a strong desire to prove himself, because he missed too much playing time last season. When this belief takes hold, it's similar with Kai and Bukayo—many of our attacking players suffered long-term injuries last season. I'm not sure how many times they've played together over the past year, but it wasn't many. So when you start to see the chemistry between them and the tactical value they can create, it's truly outstanding. But for me, he reached his peak today because he's enjoying football completely, and when someone reaches that point, you have to love what you do and play with great ambition. That's what makes me happiest today. He's moving forward constantly, scoring, and creating many chances for his teammates. So it's truly brilliant.

Miguel, you just mentioned Kai. He looks in excellent physical condition now. Is this the result of adaptation during the summer and post-World Cup recovery? Does he have a different spirit this season?

About Kai Havertz—yes, he looks very happy now. He's settled and content. Good things are happening in his personal life too. He feels good physically, trains every day, maintains good routines, and scores repeatedly in matches. Not only that, he also makes a prominent contribution to the team's tactical approach.

Miguel, during the pre-match preparation, you were asked why you didn't sign additional attacking players during the transfer window. Although this was due to circumstances, it's a reminder that you already have very talented players in the team. Kai Havertz and Martín Ødegaard, whom you just mentioned, confirm this, don't they?

Well, what I want to say is that we undoubtedly have a group of talented players, and we have deep confidence in them. Can they continue to develop? The answer is yes. Starting with myself, I also have room to develop. They can show stronger versions than we've ever seen. If our team continues to improve and the players around us continue to perform better, everyone will benefit. And that's our continuous goal.

Miguel, how is the physical condition of Cristian Mosquera, who is not in today's squad?

Yes, he has a minor muscle issue. We don't think it's a serious injury, but we'll continue to monitor and assess his recovery over the next few days.

Miguel, back to Martín Ødegaard. You just said he has a strong desire to prove himself. Does this relate to goal-scoring as well? Because he might have scored only one goal throughout last season, and now it seems he's scoring regularly over the past month or so.

Yes, the drive to prove himself is reflected in every aspect. I think it's mainly because he has very high standards for himself. He wants to be the best and most complete in everything, even though it's impossible to be flawless in some areas. But showing high performance in other areas is equally outstanding. Now he's enjoying football with genuine happiness, and his performance today was absolutely flawless.
