  "account": "Mikel Arteta has expressed confidence in Bruno Guimaraes' ability to \"ignite something different\" at Arsenal following the Brazilian midfielder's £75 million move from Newcastle. The 28-year-old Brazilian was warmly welcomed by the Gunners fans prior to Sunday's 3-2 friendly loss to Borussia Dortmund. Arteta, speaking to Arsenal's website, described Guimaraes as a \"warrior\" with \"terrible quality\" and \"intuition and leadership.\" He further emphasized that Guimaraes will \"push everybody inside the team\" and help the team \"ignite something different.\" Arteta also noted that the team's recent Premier League title win and Champions League and League Cup finals appearances have made Guimaraes a valuable addition. The midfielder watched Arsenal's loss against Dortmund as an unused substitute, with Ethan Nwaneri and Viktor Gyokeres' penalty being the only goals. Arteta admitted to being disappointed with the loss, highlighting poor performances in set-pieces and defending. Arsenal will face Manchester City in the Community Shield next weekend before their title defense against newly-promoted Coventry on August 21.",
