How has the relationship with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes developed?
Really good, really naturally. There is a connection, a personal connection first. You can feel it. There is chemistry. I think they make each other better with the qualities that they have, and I think they have been really really consistent in terms of their performance as well.
What language do they communicate in?
It's a mix. Between French, English, Brazilian. Sometimes I don't get it but they understand each other so it’s fine. They get it.
Is Ben white happy at right-back?
I think he is very happy. I think he is really enjoying it. He finds himself with a bit of freedom and you can see, when he has space, how he likes to attack. I think he is happy there.
Are you surprised by how good he is there?
Yeah, but he has this capacity. Physically he is a really special player. He is very intelligent and very gifted, and he has a lot of courage to play this game. If you tell him to play in midfield, he will. And he will give his best.

Did the Amazon All or Nothing series help fans understand your Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang decision?
I don’t know because I haven’t watched it.
Haven't you heard from the fans on it?
The fans have not spoken to me about that.
Does the media underrate English coaches such as Graham Potter?
I don’t. I hope they don’t. We have some exceptional young English coaches and we had a lot of coaches that did so much for this league, building a history in this league for the way the game has to be played, to keep certain special things that this league needs. English managers have prevented the changes being too dramatic and too quick, and the essence of English football still remains here.
Thoughts on Aubameyang saying you struggle to manage big personalities?
No comment.
FC Zurich manager Bo Henriksen said it's about time Arsenal won the Premier League title, do you agree?
It is about time because it has been so long. I completely agree with him and we have to earn the time to be there. We have done so far but there is still a long season ahead of us.
Is the quick turnaround fair?
There are worse things in life for sure. We knew we had a game, we have prepared for that. There are no excuses. We have to be ready on Sunday, very early to compete again against a really good team.
