Arsenal’s midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mikel-Arteta-c25715 has gone on to insist that he is confident in his team mates concern for the team, and that they are all looking to produce positive results for the team, whenever they can.
The midfielder’s comments have come only days after the Gunners went on to beat Bayern Munich in the second leg tie in the Champions League.
The Gunners went into the game having lost by three goals to one in the first leg of the game. No one expected the North London club to come out on top, but the team proved their doubters wrong as they beat the German giants by
two goals to nil.
However, despite their win, the Gunners were still eventually knocked out of the completion on the basis of the away goals rule.
With the team no longer being in any cup contest, they can go on and spend all their time and effort into finishing in the fourth spot in the league table.
When talking about the game against Munich and how it gave the team a lot of confidence going into their coming fixtures, the North London club’s midfielder is reported to have said: "It has to give us confidence"
"We have got the characters and the desire, we do really care.”
"We have a lot of different nationalities here and sometimes that is a difficult thing to manage. However, in this changing room, I haven’t seen that problem and we are going to fighting until the end.”
"We get criticised and some days we really deserve it. After this result, we deserve better."
Arteta then went on to claim that this weekend’s upcoming game against Swansea is a must win for the team, since they need all the points that they can get, as they set their sights on finishing in the top four once again.
"For the club and the fans, we cannot afford to be out of the Champions League,” Arteta added. "We haven’t been on the consistency [level] that is required at this football club.”
"On Saturday, if we are not at it, we are going to face a really difficult team which is Swansea away from home."
