Premier League and Champions League leaders Arsenal open up their FA Cup account on Sunday afternoon, and Mikel Arteta seems as ready as he will ever be for it.
Arsenal are, at the moment, gunning for all four trophies, and although it would be a more than uphill task to get every trophy in the bag, it certainly will not stop Arteta from trying his very best.
Arsenal have largely been the best team in the world this season. They have remained consistent through the tough times and the easy times, and now, the real part of the season begins, with another competition to fight for.
Before the match, Arteta was asked about what his aspirations are for the FA Cup, knowing fully well how tough it is to win the Premier League, how difficult it is to be competitive in the Champions League, and how deep they already are in the Carabao Cup.
Mikel Arteta said what Arsenal fans already knew about the FA Cup
His answer, however, was exactly what fans expect from Arteta. He wants to win it all.
He said: “We want that one for sure. That's what we are chasing. That's the purpose of this team.
“At the end, I think we have to get judged, and we get judged for what we do today. Last week is not important and we will get judged for what we are able to do at the end of the season.
“One thing is the trophies for our football club and the many other things that you have to do in a football club, especially in the situation we are in.
“I'm really happy where I am with the people I work with and hopefully they know that we give our very best to try to win as much as possible.”
It is good to see how motivated Arteta is for the FA Cup. That was the first title he won with Arsenal in his first season in charge at the North London club, and it would be great for him and all Arsenal fans if they are able to do it again.
It is also worth noting that Arsenal fans already expect it. They have high expectations with this trophy, having won it more than any other club in England.
So, the expectations will be astronomically high, especially with the quality of this team, too.
Be that as it may, Arsenal and Arteta will have a lot to do if they plan on winning all four trophies.
