Arteta: We don't feel we have to defend anything

The head coach of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, commented on the victory of his team in the match of the opening round of the Premier League against Coventry (3:0). "A great match, I liked a lot. We completely dominated, we interacted well with each other and were very accurate with the ball. Coventry are a very good team who are well coached and have a great understanding of how they want to cause trouble for their opponents. We didn't let them create chances until the last minutes. We got off to a quick start. It was really positive - that's what we've been working on, and we'll continue to keep the bar at that level. We have enough quality in the squad to play that way. We always try to raise the level. We don't feel like we have to defend anything. We want to win the title again and that's the mindset we're going into the season with. Last year is already behind us, and we want to repeat the success, fight for the title again and go for it with full dedication," Arteta quoted the broadcaster as saying.
