    Arteta determine to win titles

    Mikel Arteta, who Arsene Wenger just named his
    new captain at Arsenal, has stated his intent to
    win more silverware this season, after winning
    the FA Community Shield on Sunday.
    Arteta has revealed that confidence is high in the
    Gunners’ camp after the club won their second
    trophy in just two months, following the FA Cup
    success at the end of last season.
    “We want to progress from what we did last
    season. It was a long spell without trophies, we
    put it right last season but it's not enough for
    this club," he told Sky Sports .
    “I think we have to aim for bigger things and
    hopefully starting the season like this will help to
    boost the confidence, the belief, and I think we
    are heading in the right direction.”
    Arsenal began the 2014/15 campaign on an ideal
    note with a 3-0 win over last season’s Premier
    League winners, Manchester City in last Sunday's community shield cup. Santi Cazorla,
    Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud all grabbed goals in a solid performance.
    “Facing one of the top teams, the champions of the Premier League last season, and with some of
    the games we had against the top teams when we didn't perform that well, today was a good opportunity to put it right,” Arteta added.
    "We showed that we can compete again.” Arsenal begin their Premier League campaign, where they will be hoping to challenge for the title, against Crystal Palace on August 16 at 18:30.
