Martinelli on differences between Arteta and Diniz
"They’re different working methods, they’re different coaches, each one has his own way. At Arsenal, Mikel [Arteta] has his way and here Diniz has his way," Martinelli told Gazetta Esportiva, via TBR Football.
"They’re different ways of playing, but they’re ways of teams that like to have the ball. Last game I’d never played so much creative football, but I felt good. Diniz has been talking to me, giving me confidence. I feel comfortable playing like this."
