He said: “I don’t care about arsenal, I want to win the league and be on the top”. “I understand why our supporters want to finish above them, but we need to create our own ideas and philosophy, then in the end we will be above Arsenal. I think it’s a good message from the team to us”. “I think they will do it. I think they will just scrape over”.
