Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has praised defender Ben White for his exceptional attitude and performance after the Englishman was named Man of the Match. Speaking after the game, Arteta expressed delight at White\u2019s recent progress and highlighted the importance of the defender\u2019s renewed confidence and consistency.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis attitude has been so positive, so good. When given the opportunity, you take it,\u201d Arteta said, emphasising how White has responded impressively whenever called upon. The Arsenal boss has often spoken about the value of mentality and work ethic within his squad, and White\u2019s resurgence appears to embody those standards.<\/p>\n
Arteta further added that having White performing near his best will be crucial for Arsenal as they head into a demanding phase of the season. \u201cI\u2019m very happy that we have him back in the best version of himself as well. We\u2019re going to need him because he\u2019s a tremendous player,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
White, who has operated primarily as a right-back under Arteta despite being naturally a central defender, has been a vital part of Arsenal\u2019s structure since joining the club. His blend of composure, tactical versatility, and ball-playing ability has made him one of Arteta\u2019s most trusted options in both defensive and build-up phases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
