Mikel Arteta Reveals Mental Toll of Arsenal's Trophy Drought Before Carabao Cup Final
""Obviously the willingness to win has always been there, and that doesn't change if I win one, two, three or five [trophies]. But, yes, it has been difficult to accept because I want to win every competition that I'm involved in.""
""When you have been in this position and gone years without winning a trophy, obviously it adds more necessity, but also more drive because you really want it. And that's something that we have.""
""You also have to understand in sport that sometimes other players and other teams are better than you, and what you have to do is to be able to look in the mirror, give absolutely everything, and be better than them and that's what we are chasing.""
""No, there are no favorites." "
Mikel Arteta expressed the difficulty of coping with Arsenal's trophy drought as they approach the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City. Despite winning the FA Cup in his first season, Arteta has only added two Community Shields since then. He emphasized the importance of the team's desire to win and the necessity of improvement. Arteta's perfect record at Wembley does not create a sense of favoritism, as he believes every match is competitive and requires maximum effort from his team.
