In a recent interview, Newcastle United midfielder Mikel Merino expressed his admiration for the level of training at Arsenal, describing it as being on a “different level” compared to what he was used to. The young Spanish player, who spent a season on loan at Newcastle from Borussia Dortmund, had the opportunity to train with Arsenal during his time in England.
Merino spoke highly of the professionalism and intensity of the training sessions at Arsenal, noting that it was a step up from what he had experienced before. “It was amazing to see the level of detail and dedication that the players and coaching staff put into every session,” Merino said.
The midfielder also praised Arsenal manager Unai Emery, with whom he had worked briefly at Sevilla. “I have a lot of respect for Unai Emery and the way he approaches the game. He is a very demanding coach but he knows how to get the best out of his players,” Merino added.
Merino’s comments highlight the high standards set by Arsenal in their training sessions and the impact that Emery has had on the team since taking over as manager. As the Gunners continue to strive for success in the Premier League and other competitions, it is clear that their commitment to excellence on the training pitch is unwavering.
