Arteta: What needs to be thought about is what else we need to do to win the championship in the end

May 8th According to London Football Network, Arteta was interviewed by reporters after Arsenal lost 1-2 to Paris.

About this game

First, congratulations to Paris on entering the finals. When it comes to merit, I think we deserve more. When you analyze two games, who is the best player, the most valuable player, is the same person, the goalkeeper. Champions League games often determine the outcome in the penalty area, and today they should have a completely different result from their matches in London after 20 minutes. I can see a lot of positives in this and I am very proud of the team. We had to play this event with a full roster and best shape, but we didn't do that, so let's put that aside. However, today I'm seeing an opponent is probably one of the best teams in Europe. This made me very proud, but at the same time I was very disappointed and angry because we failed to succeed. There are two factors that are against us, and the opponent does have high quality at this level.

Regarding failures

It may be difficult to express in words, and we have put in a lot of effort, full of enthusiasm and belief. No matter what happens, you come here and do what we do. This is the first time most players have been in the semifinals and they are doing the same in Paris today, regardless of the outcome. The truth is we are out, and if we want to improve and win the championship, we can't always look back on if. What we need to think about is what else we need to do to achieve that goal and ultimately win the championship.

About forward signings

I am very proud of the players we have, and we have created opportunities that we usually score goals in the game. But sometimes you need to consider the performance of the opponent's goalkeeper, and their goalkeeper won the game in these two rounds. To win an event, you need to perform like this. In one of the two penalty zones, someone has to do something special to help you win, and that's the difference.

Regarding how to comfort the players, what I said to them is the same as what I said to you, and the way I describe it is what I said to them, and it is also my true feelings. Yes, I'm proud. Yes, maybe we are not receiving the respect we deserve. Yes, maybe in our current situation, this is unlikely to happen, but it does happen, and we are very close to success. So, those reasons are found, but they are not actually implemented. Rather than focusing on what we don’t have, we can do more to help them with what we have.

Regarding the team's goal

It depends on the situation. Two years ago, no one believed we could even make it to the Champions League qualifier, let alone finish second and compete in the league. Maybe our points in other seasons are enough to make us champions, and maybe our performance and results in the Champions League prove that. But the reality is that we need something to push us, that trophy is the result of all our efforts, even though we haven't got it yet.
