Arsenal news: Zinchenko sidelined for PSV tie, Arteta says football 'gets heated'
Mikel Arteta contract extension
Mikel Arteta believes managers have a responsibility to respect football with their behaviour, as he prepares to face PSV without Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been charged with improper behaviour by the Football Association following his sending off during the 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday.
Klopp was shown a red card for his angry reaction towards referee Anthony Taylor and one of his assistants after Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah was not awarded a foul following a challenge by Bernardo Silva.
The German was not the first manager to lose their cool on the touchline in the heat of the moment - and nor will he be the last.
Arteta was involved in a heated row with Klopp during the Gunners' 4-0 league defeat at Anfield in November 2021, having to be pulled back by his coaching staff.
The Spaniard understands why emotions run high in the dugout, but also why they must try to be kept in check.
"We do have a responsibility, not only to the referees, but to the game and the way we want it to be played and respected," Arteta said.
"I have enough with my behaviour. I am trying to do the right thing for our club. It is very intense. It gets heated.
"There are moments you have seen in the last few games where VAR has to step in and there is a lot of controversy and a lot of moments when the result is in the air because it spins on a decision.
"It is not easy to manage, but we have a huge responsibility. If I have to watch myself on a camera after a match, there are probably things I would do differently.
"But once you are there, the way you talk, even to your own players, you might do it differently.
"It is something we have to learn. We are all conscious of it. Sometimes the heat of the game makes you behave in certain ways."
In team news, ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash with PSV, Zinchenko been struggling with a calf problem and will not feature, while illness could sideline forward Gabriel Martinelli.
Emile Smith Rowe is out after groin surgery while fellow midfielder Mohamed Elneny (hamstring) is another definite absentee.
Arsenal provisional squad: Ramsdale, Turner, Cedric, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Holding, Saliba, Tierney, Zinchenko, Xhaka, Lokonga, Partey, Smith, Vieira, Saka, Marquinhos, Odegaard, Nelson, Martinelli, Nketiah, Jesus.
