Arsenal coach Unai Emery has said that his club must be realistic and admit that there is a huge difference between their team and the two clubs that dominated Premierliga last season, thus giving up the war for the title yet to begin the new season. Arsenal completed [...]

Arsenal ended up in fifth position in the English elite league last season, a point behind fourth place, Tottenham, and thus failed to secure participation in the Champions League.

Likewise, “The Topchies” also failed the Chelseas in the final of the League of Europe, after the blue won 4:1 against London rivals in Baku.

Thus, Arsenal will play in the League of Europe as well as the new season, or secondary European race.

Arsenal's goal for this season will be to take a seat on a fours top rather than challenge giants Liverpool and Manchester City for the title.

Emery says this will happen because of the huge gap between his team and the two best teams in the league.

We have to be realistic because the difference between us, Liverpool and Manchester City is huge. We want to improve this and we want to be more racers. But we need to improve in defence, but without weakening our attack”, he added.

It's gonna be hard because Tottenham is growing. Chelsea has also kept football players and good performance”, he stressed.
