AFTER PICKPOCKETS, FIGHTER PILOTS: ARTETA'S NEW PLAN

Successful and innovative manager of English Premier League giants Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, resorted to a method unprecedented in the football world to gain an advantage for his team and maximize his players' communication skills on the pitch. According to the highly surprising news served by The Telegraph, the Spanish manager decided to bring fighter pilots working within the British Royal Air Force (RAF) to the Arsenal facilities so that his players could learn how they could communicate more effectively under intense pressure. The main reason lying behind this radical decision of the successful coach was to integrate that flawless and extremely clear communication method fighter pilots apply in life or death moments into his own football philosophy. Arteta clearly expressed his thoughts on this subject with the words, "I will get in touch with those guys, how they communicate, because that is life or death. I am sure they do not use 20 phrases or 20 words if there is one word." This extraordinary move of the Spanish coach caused a huge repercussion in the football public. Mikel Arteta, who previously hired professional pickpockets to test his players' awareness and attention levels at team dinners and had his football players' valuable belongings stolen, always looked for ways to provide a new advantage for his club with his extraordinary methods. The talented coach, who aimed for the tactical instructions on the pitch to be as short, clear, and understandable as the communications of fighter pilots, planned to minimize his team's reaction time in crisis moments with this new communication strategy. How this special training the Arsenal players will receive from the fighter pilots would reflect on the pitch became a matter of great curiosity.
