The Gunners finished 10 points from the Champion Liverpool last season, after two second consecutive places behind Manchester City. The club in northern London has finished second on nine times, a record, from the era of the Premier League, twice as much as Manchester United. No team has never finished in this position four times in a row. And Saliba now urges his teammates, including newcomers this summer, to take a new step.
Saliba urged her teammates to redouble their efforts.
The invincibles of 2003-2004 were the last group to win a title of the Premier League. But Arsenal has made significant improvements to its workforce this summer, while coach Mikel Arteta is looking for the ultimate ingredient to end 21 years of waiting for a title. Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Christian Norgaard joined the ranks.
Arsenal finished second for the third consecutive season.
Addressing ESPN, Saliba said: “We have finished second three years in a row, and we know that we are still missing something. It's a new season, we have to see what we have not done well enough to win the championship. »»
“We won the first game and, of course, we want to win the championship, and we are going to give everything. We must be better than the last three seasons to win this championship. We know that new players have arrived to help us, and I'm sure they will help us win trophies. Of course, we are already better with them. We will see. »»
Gunners can rely on their victorious start to the season at home against the promoted Leeds United. Daniel Farke's team beat Everton on Monday evening, but the Yorkshire club has a disastrous assessment in London, where it has lost its last seven games in a row since a 2-1 victory in Brentford on the last day of the 2021-22 season.
