Only occupying the 15th place in the English Premier League, London Arsenal suffered another painful defeat on Tuesday when they lost 1:4 to Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the English League Cup. Arsenal fans are increasingly showing dissatisfaction with their coach Mikel Arteta, but Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola stood up to defend his former colleague. "It would be a huge mistake to dismiss Arteta. I am sure Arsenal will continue to trust him. I understand that various experts only care about results. However, I worked with Arteta for many years and I know he is a wonderful person and coach. He just needs some time. I am not in control of Arsenal. They would make a huge mistake if they thought about firing Arteta. Arteta helped the club win two titles, which had not happened for a long time. The current situation is difficult for everyone, and Arsenal is still suffering from injuries. If you watched their lost matches, they always showed good football," Guardiola said after the match.
