Arsenal’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mikel-Arteta-c25715 and has admitted that the player has been crucial to the Gunners this season.
The Belgian international also went on to insist that the Spaniard isn’t just helping the team out with his performances on the pitch, since his presence can be felt on the team during training sessions and in the dressing room.
When talking about just how Arteta has gone on to impact the North London club and just how he has been contributing to the team, the Gunners defender is quoted to have said: "He has been really important for us"
"He is not only important on the pitch but off the pitch as well. He talks a lot, he's an experienced player.”
However, Vermaelen then admitted that the midfielders presence was crucial to the team, since his experience and natural ability helped him dominate games in the middle of the park, which eventually helped the team win games.
"He is really important in midfield because often you win and lose games in midfield."
When the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360 and Cesc Fabregas left the team, no one thought it would be possible for any player to come in and fill the void that the duo left.
Despite that fact, Arteta has been putting in some brilliant performances for the team and his experience has helped him carry the team forward.
After making his comments about the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 midfielder, Vermaelen went on to turn his attention to the upcoming game against the Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Vermaelen insisted that despite the win over Manchester City, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 couldn’t take it easy just yet, since they needed to make the most of their upcoming games.
At the same time, he doesn’t want the team to play in the same manner that they did against QPR, when they lost by two goals to one.
"Every game is important for us at the moment and each one will be hard," he added.
"You could see that at QPR, and we dropped points there, so http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 will be the same. We have to be on the top of our game and play well there."
