The Title Won’t Be Gifted to Us.. North London Derby is a Chance to Respond

Arsenal star Declan Rice affirmed that his team is fully aware that the league title will not come easily, emphasizing the need to fight until the end. He said, “The title will not be handed to us; we must go and win it. We need to earn it and be prepared for anything that comes our way.”

Rice explained that the players held an honest meeting after the Wolverhampton Wanderers match, as they felt they had let themselves and the fans down despite being in a strong position.

The English international pointed out that the North London derby represents the perfect opportunity to respond, referring to the upcoming clash against Tottenham Hotspur, emphasizing that the match will be decisive in the course of the season.

He continued: “We are delivering an amazing season, and we cannot allow any external noise to affect us. We have demonstrated an incredible mindset to reach this position, and we will not let anything disrupt that.”

Rice sent a clear message to Arsenal fans, saying that the team needs their support more than ever at this critical stage.

He added: “Now is not the time for division. We need everyone to be on the same page, to continue believing in us and pushing us forward, and hopefully, we will achieve special things together.”
