Intense Passion: Why I Care So Much

Intense Passion: Why I Care So Much

by

Ahead of the crucial match against Manchester United (MU) at the Emirates Stadium, Sunday (25/1/2026), Arteta emphasized that full focus is the only way to win the title.

Even though he has been in charge of Arsenal for six years, the only trophy he has presented to fans of the North London club so far has only been the FA Cup in 2020.

“I don’t think there is anyone who has greater motivation, greater hunger and greater desire than me to take us to the end and win it,” said Arteta.

“But we know the only way to do that is to stay focused, be fully present in every moment, and everything we’ve done today, we have to do better tomorrow.”

“That’s all and that’s the only thing we can control. Other things don’t add any value and can actually divert our focus in the wrong direction,” he continued.
