- Mikel Arteta urges Arsenal to continue where they left off after the World Cup break.
- The Gunners were playing exceptionally well before the break.
- Arsenal face West Ham at the Emirates in their Premier League return on Monday.
Mikel Arteta has told leaders Arsenal to keep going where they left off and win their first Premier League title since 2004 when English football’s top league starts up again after the World Cup.
The Gunners were playing exceptionally well, winning 12 of their previous 14 matches, when the league abruptly halted play for the first ever winter World Cup to be played in Qatar.
Fans and commentators have been debating all season whether or not the break will assist or hinder clubs’ aspirations. For example, Arsenal is without Gabriel Jesus after he was returned home from the World Cup with a knee injury he suffered in Brazil’s shocking loss to Cameroon.
However, Arteta was in a positive frame of mind as his team prepared to face London rivals West Ham at the Emirates in their Premier League return on Monday.
When asked about his preferred style of play, he told Sky Sports, “You know, I want the team to play a specific manner, and the more constant we are on that, the more we are going to win.”
The chance we have before of us is tremendous, and there is reason to celebrate.
