London: Mikel Arteta hopes Arsenal can use Liverpool as an example, but admitted his side were still “very far” from a Premier League title.
Liverpool were on Thursday (June 25) crowned league champions for the first time since 1990, having won 28 of 31 league games this season.
Arteta, whose Arsenal are ninth in the table, said how Jurgen Klopp had transformed Liverpool was a fine example for his team to follow.
“It’s a great example to take that it is possible to do it. That it takes a lot of work and great decisions from everyone,” the Arsenal head coach said.
“First of all, the belief that what you are doing is the right thing to do and they are all aligned. From their side to make the right decisions in terms of recruitment to identify the philosophy that is needed for that football club, that the fans believe and they can attach to that.
“And the players who are handed the same commitment to that football club to give the best all the time. It doesn’t matter what. After that, you slowly start to catch up and you start to get better and better and make improvements.
