Dem FC Arsenal gelingt der große Coup …
Der Premier-League-Klub hat im Viertelfinale der Champions League Titelverteidiger Real Madrid ausgeschaltet, steht jetzt im Halbfinale. Vater des Erfolgs der Londoner: Trainer-Ass Mikel Arteta. Der Einzug in Halbfinale ist sein bisher größter Erfolg als Cheftrainer.
„Ich bin glücklich, es ist das dritte Mal in der Vereinsgeschichte, dass wir das Halbfinale der Champions League erreicht haben“, erklärte Arteta nach dem Sieg. „Und neben der Tatsache, dass ich dabei bin, geht es auch um das Wie: gegen einen Gegner dieses Kalibers, in einem Stadion wie diesem. Mir ist klar geworden, was es wirklich bedeutet, hier zu spielen.“
Arteta verrät: Was Ancelotti mir nach dem Spiel sagte
Bedanken wollte er sich auch bei seinem Mentor Pep Guardiola (54). Unter ihm reifte er als Co-Trainer zum Chef-Coach. Noch vor dem Rückspiel gegen Real holte er sich wohl letzte Tipps vom Star-Trainer von Manchester City: „Dass ich hier bin, verdanke ich größtenteils ihm. Heute Morgen habe ich Pep Guardiola angerufen. Ich werde ihm immer dankbar sein.“
[–>Auch für sein Gegenüber, Real-Trainer Carlo Ancelotti, hat der Spanier nur lobende Worte übrig – und verriet sogar, was der Italiener ihm nach der Partie sagte: „Er ist immer sehr liebevoll zu mir. Er hat mir gesagt, dass er hofft, dass wir die Champions League gewinnen. Das sagt viel über ihn aus.“
Nach seinem letzten CL-Spiel: Müller berichtet von Gänsehaut-Moment mit den Fans
Real habe „in den schwierigsten Momenten Chaos gestiftet, aber wir haben es geschafft, emotional stabil zu bleiben. Auf diesem Niveau gewinnt man, wenn man Chancen nutzt, und das haben wir getan“, erklärte der Arsenal-Coach. Der Lohn: das Halbfinale.
Dort wartet jetzt Paris Saint-Germain auf die „Gunners“. Das Hinspiel steigt am 29. April in London. Arteta verspricht ein packendes Aufeinandertreffen.
„Ich kenne Lucho (PSG-Trainer Luis Enrique, Anm.d.Red.) gut. Wir sind in dieser Champions League bereits gegeneinander angetreten. Sie sind derzeit zweifellos die Mannschaft in Topform, sowohl spielerisch als auch Ergebnis her. Es wird ein tolles Duell.“
