Mikel Arteta praises club captain Martin Odegaard after his exceptional performance in Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Olympiacos in the Champions League.
TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 Intro
00:20 - win: We had moments of dominance. But we got deeper. Missed two big chances but Saka scored.
01:51 - Odegaard: He's got all the licence to go forward. He arrived in dangerous positions. Great to have him back.
02:35 - strong bench: Last year we had five academy players on the bench. I changed six players because I wanted people involved.
03:10 - Gabriel: he got a kick and wasnt comfortable. We didn't want to take risks.
03:40 - First win against Olympiacos in 4 ties: credit to them. Through their simplicity they became very efficient.
04:24 - Gyokeres: He was denied a few times but he was exceptional.
04:49 - Matter of time he scores?: hopefully yes on Saturday.
05:10 - Martinelli: with our front three, it's the game I wanted from him.
05:37 - Lewis-Skelly: He looked really focused. I was pleased today.
06:11 - Odegaard: creativity is his nature. It's his best ability. He has total freedom from my side to take risks.
06:49 - Protect players: especially Saka, Martinelli did well. Rice has played so many games so it was good from Merino.
07:29 - Mendilibar: great to see him. So happy for him. Playing against him was weird.
