Arteta delivers sharp remarks after Arsenal defeats Man City to claim the Community Shield.
"Arteta" is extremely happy!!! "Arsenal" wins the Community Shield and is ready to defend the Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta, manager of the "Gunners" Arsenal, expressed great happiness after leading his club to a 3-0 victory over "The Citizens" Manchester City to secure the 2026 Community Shield, setting sights on defending the English Premier League title in the 2026-27 season.
Arteta said, "Of course, I am very happy with our performance, the result, and winning our first trophy. We talked about the hunger we have to start the season and showed how much we want it. I saw many positive things in this game against a top-level opponent."
"What helped us win, I think, came from the preparation we did during preseason and the players’ decision to return quickly after the World Cup because they wanted to be part of this game. They really wanted to win the competition."
"I’m very impressed with how we played, especially with how fully and seriously we competed. That is our standard. If we maintain this standard, I’m confident we can achieve success."
"I want to experience that moment (winning the Premier League) again, and I want to experience an even greater moment. We know how much effort it requires. We understand how challenging this mission is. So, we know it will take extra effort, and we are ready."
"Maybe there’s more confidence now. You know what to do. You know how to win. And the involvement of everyone, because last season that was our greatest strength — every player contributed to making us champions. We know it will be the same this time."
