The 2024/25 Premier League season will usher in the last round of games, and the "Gunners" Arsenal will go to St. Mary's Stadium to challenge the "Saints" Southampton. Arteta said that he is already looking forward to the arrival of next season, but still needs a full rest to make a good plan for next season.

With Rice scoring a goal, Arsenal beat Newcastle 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the last round of the Premier League and secured second place in the league and a place in the Champions League.

Arsenal manager Arteta said at the press conference, "The motivation comes from wanting to get as many points as possible, always playing for this club and fighting for victory, and playing the style of play we want. We still want to fight for the best defensive record in the league, and the Golden Glove Award is still suspense. At the same time, we also hope to face a good challenge in the last game, end with a good performance, and always maintain respect for the game."

"I'm already looking forward to next season, but now I need to take a break, calm down, make the most effective decisions at the right time, and make sure I really get some rest. I have a clear picture of the overall situation, but I need something to make my mind clearer so that I can describe the new season in the most accurate terms, because I know it is very important."

Arteta stressed, “We have to start again, and to do this, we need the cooperation of many aspects. We must rest well, and then be firm in our direction and consistent with the team's goals, so that we can fight for the next opportunity and reach the position we want to reach.”

"When everything is ready, the passion will come back and you will be eager to come back on the first day of the new season and be fully committed and motivated to start again with this group of players and staff."

In addition, Arteta said, "Everyone must have the same feeling at the end and believe in their own abilities. This is not just a dream, nor is it just something you want to do, but we have everything we need to do it well. When all this is done, there are still many factors that will have an impact. Such as the performance of the game, the quality of the lineup and whether the players can play, as well as the referee's penalty, the schedule, the opponent, the time of the game, the opponent's state and how much time we have to recover."

"I can't control what's going on in a player's personal life in the locker room that might affect a player's performance, or what happens, or what the opponent does, as has happened in the history of this league."

Arteta also said, "Players sometimes feel angry, and then suddenly they do it, which will be full of many unknowns. But in the things we can control, I promise we will try our best."
