Martin Odegaard, the Arsenal captain, is looking to take the positives from the tough end of last season. He believes that his team have learnt from the mistakes that caused them to miss out on the Premier League title.
The Gunners were in the lead for much of the season, but Manchester City eventually emerged as champions. This time around they are vying for the title with Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Odegaard believes that the team can use the experience gained from last season to help them in the current campaign. He said, “We know the quality of Man City and the others, and we know it’s a very tough league. But we believe in ourselves to keep fighting and improving. Hopefully, we have learnt lessons from last season. It was a brutal end for us. We can use this and show that we have gained some good experience.”
The Norwegian midfielder also spoke about the need for the team to improve on closing out games. Arsenal lost 2-0 to West Ham despite dominating possession, territory and shots on goal. He said, “We have to look at ourselves and what we can do to improve. We did enough to win against West Ham, but weren’t good enough in front of goal. That’s why we must play to win every game.”
Odegaard and the rest of the team will be looking to put the lessons of last season into action when they face Fulham on Sunday.
