After 22 years, Arsenal finally reclaimed their crown as Premier League champions earlier this year.

The Gunners are at the top of the English mountain, and they will be hoping to repeat the trick again this season.

However, once you’re at the top of the mountain, it’s easy to get complacent – as Marvin Hagler once said, it’s hard to get up and train when you wake up every morning in silk pyjamas.

Luckily though, it sounds like Mikel Arteta isn’t letting his guard down, as speaking to TNT Sports, he’s shared an interesting change in his mentality since winning the league.

How Mikel Arteta’s mentality has changed after winning the league

Arteta spoke about the experience of winning the Premier League as a manager and how it has changed him.

The Arsenal boss says that success at the highest level has only made him hungrier for more, claiming that the amazing feeling of winning the title and celebrating with fans is something he wants to do again.

“Has it changed your mentality? Are you thinking differently now?” Arteta was asked.

“Yes, I want more. It was such an amazing feeling. It was such a unique moment that we live together with our people in the streets of North London, we certainly want to repeat that.”

You often hear sport’s serial winners describe victory as a drug, and it’s clearly something these top-level operators do genuinely get addicted to.

There’s no better feeling in sport than winning major titles, and Arteta clearly wants to continue doing exactly that at Arsenal for as long as possible.

Arteta may well be on his way to building a dynasty at Arsenal.
