Jesus will be praised for his three goals and overall preseason form, but Arteta focused on Jesus' work off the ball and his capacity to make Sevilla commit errors.
In his post-game press conference, Arteta remarked, "Everyone knows Gabby and everyone sees he wants to play with that intensity to win the ball, cause mistakes, and play in the opponent half as much as possible."
Arteta also praised the connection between Jesus and the newly appointed Arsenal captain, Odegaard, who received the armband ahead of the game.
Arteta described Odegaard as "he makes Gabby better and he needs a threat in front of him." "In small or large spaces, he can always locate the previous pass. The link is already there, and we need someone to make him appear better."
