Martin Odegaard tweak explained as Arsenal captain continues exceptional start to new season

Bukayo Saka missed a big chance after being played through by Odegaard, while Piero Hincapie somehow scooped the ball over from a couple of yards out and Mikel Merino wasted a free header."That's what we need, the players with that mindset to decide the game and to play with that personality that an action might not happen," Arteta said.Read More"It's the next one, the next one, and keep insisting and keep taking chances and risks. He's getting into those positions much more in recent games and I feel he has this emotional state that he knows that the ball can go in and he is playing an incredible football match."Leading by example: Martin OdegaardGettyAsked if he had told Odegaard to take more risks and get into those advanced positions more often, Arteta revealed that he is now confident enough in Arsenal's build-up play to tell Odegaard to stay up the pitch."Yes, we have," Arteta said."We now have a lot of players who can take the ball there and can progress the ball much better than we did in the past, and when that happens, he needs to take different heights and angles and positions in order to disorganise the opponent."He's done that really well tonight."Odegaard scored one goal last season and only six in all competitions in the campaign before that.On current form, it would be no surprise if he beat that tally before the first international break later this month.Arteta made it clear that he will keep demanding more from Odegaard, rather than setting him a specific number to aim for."Yes, goals every week," Arteta said. Every game, goals. That’s the target."
