Arsenal have enjoyed a flawless start to their Premier League title defence, and summer signing Bruno Guimaraes believes the credit lies with Mikel Arteta’s uncompromising standards. The midfielder, who arrived in a 75 million pound deal, has been struck by the intensity of the environment created by his new manager.
Reflecting on his adaptation period, Guimaraes revealed that the message of constant evolution was clear from the start.
I’m very happy to be able to train with the team. It’s great to be able to work with such a strong, impressive team. It seems that this season they’re playing better than last season. I think that’s the goal, to improve every year. That’s the message that Arteta wants to pass on to us. Bruno Guimaraes
While Guimaraes continues to manage a groin issue that has limited his early minutes, goalkeeper David Raya believes the squad has reached a new level of maturity. Following the win over Chelsea, Raya noted that winning major silverware has provided the players with a vital psychological boost and extra confidence.
Arsenal’s ability to grind out results, such as the comeback victory over Chelsea, has been a hallmark of their form so far. With their domestic momentum intact, the focus now shifts to the Champions League, where the Gunners are set to face Napoli in their group stage opener this Wednesday night.
