Arteta calls on the team to persevere in the fight for the Premier League title

The Gunners Arsenal will travel to Nottingham Forest in the 27th round of the 2024/25 Premier League. Arteta said that if they want to continue to fight for the Premier League championship, the team must do something special and must persist until the last moment.

After conceding a goal and Lewis Skelly being sent off in the last round of the league, Arsenal eventually lost 0-1 to West Ham at home. After failing to maintain their winning streak, Arsenal currently ranks second in the standings with 53 points, 11 points behind Liverpool, which is in first place, with one game less.

Arsenal manager Arteta said at a press conference, "The current situation is that there are still many games to play, and we must cheer up again. The team must maintain its level, stability and desire to impact again, and this is what we have to do in the new round of games. From a probability point of view, all this is still possible. We could have narrowed the gap three days ago and were only one and a half wins away from them. But none of this matters, we must keep moving forward."

"The challenges ahead are greater than before, but if you want to win the Premier League, you have to do something special. In the current situation, we may need to accomplish a feat that has never been done in the history of the Premier League. We have also experienced the situation of leading the standings, and we know that the situation may change quickly. So we must stick to it, and we deserve to continue to fight for the championship."

In addition, Arteta also said, "It is extremely satisfying to work hard with players, coaches and staff to overcome difficulties every day. If someone told you before the start of the season that we have played more than 30 minutes in 5 games so far with one less player and lost so many players at the same time, who would think we can maintain our competitiveness in the championship? Most people would think we should be ranked in the middle of the standings, or even miss the Champions League qualification. "

"That it wasn't to be is testament to the resilience, ambition and drive of the squad. This period is probably one of the proudest moments of my coaching career. When you're in a competitive position like this, you want more."

Arteta also emphasized, "I will never stop. Unless I fall, we will not give up this belief and will never stop going all out to increase our chances of winning and surpassing our opponents. No matter what happens next, we must always maintain a high level of performance."
