In the modern game, every football manager is looking for that little something extra to affect player performance, and Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta has come up with a novel way of tapping in to the psyche of his squad.
At his press conference on Friday, the Spaniard talked about the squad being a family and how every family has a dog.
So, the Gunners now have a chocolate coloured Labrador at their training ground, appropriately named ‘Win,’ who, Arteta says, puts a smile on everyone’s face and brings a different feeling to the working day which ‘is very, very important.’
