Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger Confident That Team Will Do Better Than Last Season
Frenchman believes team will compete for title this season
By Anthony Sciarrino
Arsene Wenger believes that Arsenal will improve on their third place Premier League finish from last season.
The Gunners were in contention with eventual champions Chelsea and Manchester United for the title last season before injuries led to the team to settle for third place after fading away late in the campaign.
Arsenal were held trophyless once again last season and the club still have not won any silverware since 2005.
Despite the trophy drought, and the big spending of Manchester City, Wenger believes that his team will do better this season.
"I am very confident (we'll do better than last season)," Wenger told www.arsenal.com.
"We know in England that the Premier League is the biggest league in the world and everybody invests a lot of money.
"We invest in our work, in our beliefs, in the quality of our behaviour and I am confident that will pay off.
"We finished third last year and we hope we can improve on that - but the race will be tough."
Arsenal’s pre-season preparations continue on Saturday when they will line up against AC Milan in the Emirates Cup.
