Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has urged his players to push the club into a different dimension following their Premier League title triumph. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Insisting that ending their 22-year wait for the trophy is merely the baseline for future success, Arteta maintained that past success will not breed complacency at North London.
The Spanish coach added that winning the EPL must mark the beginning of a sustained era of dominance at the Emirates Stadium.
His words, “This has to be the start and this has to be the standard
Excellence has to be our standard and this has to drive us to attack the future. The way we behave daily with more and more determination and ambition because we’ve shown that we’ve got it.
Now we have to show that we belong to this level and we want to increase and take this football club to a different dimension.
My ambition is that daily we nail the standards and the requirements on the day to be better the following day.
That is the thing that we have to control. And maintaining that ambition, that discipline, that commitment and that positive energy through 11 months.
That is the responsibility that we all have. If we all achieve that, we are going to be in a really strong position in May.”
