Ogasabi reports on the 9am news that Mikel Arteta gave Arsenal an absurd goal to beat Premier League winners Manchester City by accumulating 114 points. Following City’s victory over him on the last day of the 2023–24 season, Arteta appeared even more committed to preventing Pep Guardiola’s army from taking over England for a record-tying fifth time. He emphasized on 9am news Nigeria that to win the Premier League, he must bring in players that the team hasn’t had in the past, and everyone at Arsenal, including himself, needs to up their game.
Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s friendly against Manchester United in Los Angeles at the SoFi Stadium, Arteta said on Breaking news: “The message is clear – we need more from everybody. More from everybody including me. I need to raise the standards, I need to bring something I haven’t brought yet. Individually and collectively the same. The more we do that, the better the chance it’s going to be to win the Premier League. This is what we want basically. Just work every day with that excitement and understanding of the difficulty. And when those difficulties come, stay together and go through them efficiently.” The manager of Arsenal, Arteta, reiterated on the 9am news that he is aiming for perfection when asked what it would take to defeat City and win the Premier League.
“114 points” was his assertion on 9am news Nigeria. “We definitely win the league if we accomplish it. This is the goal; we’ll see what we get from there. Gain the advantage over your opponent and earn the right to win. Even in the face of adversity, we remain superior to our rivals. That’s actually the main goal.”
WHAT NEXT FOR ARSENAL?
In addition to breaking other records, Ogasabi noted on Breaking news that Arteta’s team would become the second Arsenal team to remain unbeaten, following Arsene Wenger’s team from the 2003–04 season, if they manage to reach their goal. Arsenal’s preseason preparations have begun in the United States. On Saturday, they will take on Manchester United in Los Angeles. After that, on July 31, 2024, the Gunners will meet Liverpool at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
