'Arsenal not about getting a point or finishing fourth' – Martinelli
While the Gunners sit atop the Premier League table after 14 matches, their Brazilian star suggests that Arsenal should aim for winning the league.
Arteta’s philosophy has seemingly changed the whole culture around Arsenal Football Club, which has given players like Gabriel Martinelli belief that Arsenal could actually win the league.
The Gunners are currently 5 points clear of second-placed Manchester City in the table despite the Citizens still being the favorites to win the league among pundits and bookies. That gap is in no small part thanks to Martinelli, whose excellent performance have earned him a dream call-up to Brazil’s World Cup squad.
Speaking to the The Player's Tribune, Martinelli talked about his desire to win every match as it comes along and finally winning the Premier League with
Arsenal: "
If you see us in training you’ll understand why we’re playing well, because even in a simple passing game nobody wants to lose. At home we haven’t dropped a point yet, because the atmosphere this season is better than ever. The opponents are always feeling the pressure at the Emirates."
"We will continue to go for the win each game, because that is what this club should do. Arsenal is not about 'getting a point'. Arsenal is not about finishing fourth. Arsenal is about titles. The league. The Champions League. That’s what the fans deserve."
The Gunenrs will resume their campaign against West Ham after the World Cup concludes but Arteta plans to take his squad to the Middle East to prepare for the rest of the season while the World Cup is on in
Qatar.
