Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has shut down talks that his club are the new favourite to win the English Premier League title. This comes after reigning champions Liverpool suffered their third successive league defeat against Manchester United on Sunday.
According to him, discussions about title favourites are just talk until EPL teams go on the pitch and prove it, so he is fully focused on his players guaranteeing maximum results every week.
Arteta added that Arsenal players cannot afford to get carried away amid the club’s good run of form.
His words, “The only thing I embrace is when I see the team, the energy, the temperature, the commitment and quality that they can deliver.
That gives me the conviction that we can go all the way.
But that’s just a feeling, then the next day you have to prove it and you can’t be busy thinking about those topics.
There obviously is a lot of narrative after [Liverpool lost to Manchester United]. Every game in this league in must-win. We are very appreciative of that, so we don’t get carried away with anything.”
WOW.
