'Everyone comes in the next day even more hungry' - Odegaardpublished at 22:56 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January
FT: Arsenal 3-0 Dinamo Zagreb
Arsenal's Martin Odegaard speaking to TNT Sports: "We needed that. We put ourselves in a really good situation now and I got a goal. It was a good and solid win so I'm very happy."
On the squad's mood: "Results always influence a little bit the mood but I think it's been good. Everyone just wants to get better. Every time we drop points everyone comes in the next day even more hungry and even more ready to go again. I think that's the mentality, always one more, always got to be better and that's good to see."
On needing reinforcements: "I think with the injuries we've been a little bit short but you look at the team we have so much quality so if we can keep everyone fit then that's the main thing and we have to focus on the players that are here. Today we all did well."
On his captain style: "I think everyone is different, different ways to lead. For me the main thing was to be myself and I think that was the reason why [Mikel Arteta] chose me as the captain. That means I've been doing something the right way. Definitely lead by example and try to influence the team in the best possible way and to get the best out of everyone."
On the pressure on him and Declan Rice to get forward: "[Arteta's] always pushing us to be better and we want goals from the midfielders and I haven't been good enough there this season. Finally got a goal today so that was good and we spoke a lot about being in the right areas to attack that space."
