Arsenal lost 0-1 to Tottenham in a warm-up match. After the game, Gunners midfielder Merino said that the team should gain something from it.
He said: "Obviously, this is not the result we want, and victory is the most important thing for the team. But in the preseason, there are many other valuable things like working out physically, staying close to the fans here, etc.
"We quickly adapted to the venue and the opponents, and I think we had the advantage for most of the time. The results are obviously the worst part, but we have to find the positives from it. And this feeling will become our motivation for the new season, allowing us to continue to grow, learn and improve.
"The support of the fans has been touching us throughout the tour. I am very grateful to all the fans, and I know it is not easy for them to support the team during the season, especially considering the timing. I really thank everyone, it was a wonderful two weeks.
"I am looking forward to every tour because you have the opportunity to discover new places and explore the corners of the world. At the same time, there is also the opportunity to show people in different places the culture of Arsenal and our big family. Overall, it was a great experience and hopefully we will be back soon. ”
