When Arsenal travelled to Naples this week for their Champions League match against Napoli, the London club's flight was delayed. This did not bother the team, as they had prepared for any disruptions that might occur during the season.

This is what coach Mikel Arteta says at a press conference.

"I did it during pre-season so when it happened we were prepared. You can miss a flight or a train and everyone panics. We have to deal with that," says the 44-year-old.

When asked what Arteta did, he replied:

We made the locker rooms warmer, delayed meals, and had fewer massage tables. We did a lot.
