They aren’t exactly the words you’d expect as part of a rivalry that has become one of the most fractious in the Premier League, certainly for the fans: “I love him and he loves me sabong
”“Like a dad sabong
”The latter statement was nevertheless what Mikel Arteta said about Mauricio Pochettino when a mere player at Arsenal, which led to the then Tottenham Hotspur manager declaring their mutual admiration sabong
It was already a notable friendship when they were on different sides of north London, let alone in different dugouts this weekend, but their bond goes back much further than this time in England sabong
The two played together at Paris Saint-Germain when Arteta was 17 and Pochettino the senior figure in the dressing room, immediately forming a bond that has persisted to now sabong
It will directly influence Saturday’s meeting of Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge for far deeper reasons than the fact this is their first-ever meeting as managers sabong
Pochettino naturally consulted Arteta when he first made that move to England to join Southampton in 2013 sabong
There was even talk that the Basque might join Pochettino as a coach at Tottenham after leaving Arsenal as a player in 2016, but a move across that rivalry was just a non-starter sabong
Instead, their friendship persisted despite Arteta working for Pep Guardiola, with whom Pochettino doesn’t have the warmest relationship sabong
The two older coaches have inevitably influenced a tactical philosophy that Arteta was already inclined towards while developing his own interpretation sabong
What is most relevant with Pochettino, however, is how Arteta’s Arsenal were essentially modelled on the Argentine’s Spurs team sabong
It created a strategy race that has set the stage for this match sabong
When surveying the many problems the club still had on appointing Arteta in late 2019, the Arsenal hierarchy were naturally conscious of how their great north London rivals had so drastically overperformed under Pochettino throughout the previous half-decade sabong
That was through stripping the squad down to its core, introducing youth, and maximising that vigour by moulding the team into a supremely intensive unit sabong
Anyone who didn’t buy in was out sabong
Pochettino, for a time, had the most honed team in the Premier League, one that immensely overachieved in league performance sabong
Part of Arsenal’s rationale behind appointing a complete novice in Arteta was in order to implement their own style of that approach, albeit with the inherent knowledge that the club’s ceiling is far higher because they have a much greater commercial profile sabong
Hence, at key points of the team’s evolution, Arteta could sign players such as Declan Rice or sell those such as Mesut Ozil, when Pochettino was forced to go an entire year without a purchase and had to keep players he wanted to sell due to the price sabong
Arteta faces Chelsea having just beaten Manchester City for the first time (Getty)Those close to the Argentine insist he still looks back at 2017 somewhat forlornly, because he knew that was the point that he needed to make Sir Alex Ferguson-like changes to his Spurs team sabong
He wasn’t able to and the squad instead went stale sabong
Arsenal are anything but stale right now sabong
Arteta has instead specifically made signings like Kai Havertz in order to give the team more vitality and tactical variety than last season, where their otherwise impressive surge was too reliant on a primary XI sabong
They now have much more options and much more momentum than Chelsea sabong
There is the possibility Arsenal assert their superiority on Saturday, in a way that has become custom in the last few years, which would also represent such a reversal of years of their rivalry sabong
For a long time, Chelsea just found a way to beat Arsenal sabong
No more sabong
The wonder is whether Chelsea are actually ready to halt it this Saturday sabong
There are finally signs that Pochettino’s distinctive tactical approach is beginning to impress upon his own young squad sabong
That is of course part of a much grander project, that essentially takes the Spurs model to a further extreme sabong
If Arsenal have a higher ceiling, Chelsea are operating on a completely different scale sabong
Pochettino has overseen three wins in a row with Chelsea (Getty)They are willing to sign far more young players for much higher prices, believing they can exploit sabong football inefficiencies in a way that both Spurs and Arsenal leant towards but didn’t go anywhere near that far sabong
It is bold and risky, but that’s the point sabong
As to where the points will go this weekend, that arms race does leave Arsenal in a much sabong better position than Chelsea right now: Arteta’s team looks close to completion, Pochettino’s is only starting out sabong
Both nevertheless look like they need forwards as focal points above anything else and the remaining gaps allow an element of unpredictability to this sabong
Arsenal should win sabong
Chelsea could be getting themselves together sabong
They aren’t yet close enough for this first-ever showdown to affect their close friendship sabong
The “love” will remain, even if it won’t be seen on the pitch sabong
