The Amazon Prime cameras captured Mikel Arteta giving an inspirational message to his Arsenal squad that left them speechless.
Ahead of the launch of their All or Nothing documentary, a new trailer was released showing Arteta delivering a powerful presentation to his players.
Arteta opened up on his heart condition in his message to his players
It came after their poor start to the 2021/22 season, where they lost all three of their opening games.
The Gunners boss opened up on the heart condition he had as a child and how their poor form had affected him.
"High performance teams all have something in common: They get results," Arteta told his squad, as he compared sports teams to medical teams.
"They do it only for one reason: Because they love what they do. That is their drive, that is their purpose."
He continued: "After Man City, I had fear, I had insecurity, I had the media that is killing me.
"Suddenly, I have all the positives. I have an amazing family. I have a wife, three kids. And another one: The club.
The Arsenal squad were hanging on every word of Arteta
Arteta inspired his team to turn their form around
"[I have] You guys. This week I have found the purpose or why I want to be a coach, why I'm in the industry, why I have to be with these people.
"So for these guys, all I have to say is thank you so much to all of you. You made a difficult moment the best week of my football career."
Arteta ended his speech with a final message of hope: "Believe in yourself, I do. You are really good."
It did the trick, as Arsenal went on to win their next three games and went on an unbeaten run of eight.
Not everyone was impressed with the speech, though, with Piers Morgan weighing in to give his opinion.
He wrote on Twitter: "What on earth have I just watched? So weird."
