Q: As you get older in your career, do you feel that perhaps, you don’t need to be seen as the main man so much -  you’re happy to let the team do the talking, if you like.

Mikel Arteta: I don’t want to be the main man. We all know who the main man is - the main man is Robin…and we are happy with it because he is terrific for the team, and I think that has to be the main thing, you know. He’s the leader, he’s the captain, he’s the one who makes a real difference, and we’re all behind him to help the team.
