An emotional Mikel Arteta speech delivered to his Arsenal players has been shown in the club's latest documentary.

In the doc, Arteta is filmed addressing his players after the opening three games of last season had brought a return of three defeats, nine goals conceded and zero goals scored.

Arteta's words prior to their fourth game of the campaign - a home tie against Norwich - were filmed as he rallied his players for the game.

The clip begins with Arteta heralding the importance of teamwork in any high-performance, results-based industry. He even cites the team of hospital stuff that helped him with his open-heart surgery while he was a child in Spain as an example of those who pull together at the toughest moments to produce.

Arteta then proceeds to draw a graph in front of his players, who are all congregated inside the dressing room, eyes fixated on their manager. The graph is designed to represent the Spaniard's 'emotional state' in the immediate aftermath of their 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City.

"Post Man City, I had fear, I had insecurity, I had the media killing me - suddenly I have all the positives. I have an incredible family, a wife, three kids and another one - the club. The moment I go from there to here [negative to positive] is because of you guys.

"This week, I have found the purpose of why I want to be a coach, why I'm in the industry and why I have to be with these people. So far this guys, what I have to say, only from my side is thank you so much.

"In a difficult moment, you made the best week of my football career. Believe in yourself, I do. You are really good, the last thing I want to do as a coach is blame any of you in difficult moments, this is my responsibility and I will take the hit."
