Hupu News on October 11 Recently, in an interview with a talkSPORT reporter, Campbell talked about his views on the favorite team to win the Premier League championship this season.

Campbell said: "There is currently no favorite to win the championship, and no one can be called one. For example, Liverpool, they have won the championship and are always a competitive team; and Arsenal are the chasers. They are currently in a good situation, but the key is that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. The favorites must maintain the momentum, especially in January and February - the weather is cold and rainy, and they have to play away games - then they must score points steadily."

"So it's too early to say this, but Arsenal has shown good signs. They are in good form at the moment, but they must believe that they can win the championship. This is the key. If you don't believe that the team can win the championship, you will retreat when you encounter some problems, and then you will not get the points you deserve, and you cannot build that 100% belief."

"Everyone in the Arsenal team must believe that 'we can do it'. When the whole team forms a 'collective belief', not the unrealistic and whimsical self-confidence, but 'We have a great chance and we must firmly believe in this', then Arsenal can go far. If there are too many doubts in the heart, even if it is only 1%, but when this Such doubts spread throughout the team, and cumulatively can undermine the team's momentum. Therefore, the Arsenal players must truly believe that they can win the championship and believe that they can do it. "

When asked about how Arsenal can develop a "continuous winning mentality", Campbell said: "Sometimes, being slower is a good thing. Some people are lucky and have a very good team when they take over, such as Slott, who took over a very strong team and then won the championship. Slaughter didn't have to make too many adjustments, which was fortunate. When a new coach takes office, the team often has a "new atmosphere" and the players respond positively, so he is lucky. "

"And what about Arteta? He has to clean up some players , eliminate those redundant personnel. Two or three years later, he finally has a basically formed team. I think the core of the team is the center position. Arsenal finally has a suitable candidate - Dzekeresh, but now they have to find a way to make good use of him. Team building requires this step by step. "

"When I joined Arsenal in 2001, I didn't win any championships at the beginning. Yes, Arsenal have won the championship before, but every year the situation is different. You have to believe that you can do it and you have to have teammates with this ability around you. You have to take the initiative to 'promote' the championship and create it with your own hands. This is how championships come. You have to firmly believe in your heart that 'we can do it this year' . "

"It's not that you have to have unrealistic dreams, but you have to have a starting point. Everyone starts from scratch and then builds step by step to create results. The whole Arsenal team must be united and believe in each other completely. Many players in the team have signed long-term contracts of three, four or even five years. For them, winning the championship is a must-achievement goal. "

"How can we win the championship? This year Arsenal will have to do everything possible - whether it is winning a few games by luck or seizing a few accidental opportunities, but these 'good luck' have to be earned through hard work. They need to win something first so that everyone really realizes, ‘Look, this is what we can do. ’”
