Arteta: "We still have a lot of room for improvement."

In the recently concluded 10th round of the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Hull City 1-0 at home thanks to Martin Ødegaard's second-half winning goal. Manager Mikel Arteta remained humble, stating that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

After this match, Arsenal have secured 27 points in the first ten rounds of the season, not only equaling the club's best start in history but also firmly holding the top spot in the standings. This is also the team's third consecutive victory in the past week, following wins against Liverpool and Slavia Prague.

In a post-match interview, Arteta expressed high praise for the players' and coaching staff's efforts under the demanding schedule: "I want to commend the entire team and staff for their outstanding performance during this period. Facing high-level opponents and such a dense schedule, the performance we put on and the result we ultimately achieved was incredible."

When discussing the team's performance and championship prospects, Arteta frankly stated that the best form has not yet arrived: "Scoring 27 points in the first ten games is rare in team history, which proves how difficult it was. But I firmly believe we can do much better."

“We will continue to refine our skills at every stage and elevate our teamwork to a more efficient level. Our next step is to build a greater margin of error in our lead, seize opportunities in front of goal to kill the game as early as possible, and avoid getting bogged down in the final minutes.”

With the international break approaching, Arteta emphasized that the team will take this opportunity to rest and prepare for the upcoming tough matches: "Compared to the long break after the loss to Brighton in September, we can enjoy this time."

"Next, we will face Newcastle United, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City in succession at the end of the month. The team must be well prepared and meet the challenges in the best condition."
