Frank Leboeuf thinks Arsenal has proven they are ready to retain league title

Frank Leboeuf was impressed with the way Arsenal dealt with Manchester City in the Community Shield, and he believes that is a clear sign that the Gunners are ready to defend their league title.

The Gunners won that curtain raiser 3-0 and looked very confident and assured against one of the teams expected to challenge them for the league this season.

Mikel Arteta is working as hard as he can to ensure that his side replicates the form they showed last season, and the Gunners’ manager wants to prove they can dominate the competition.

Against City, his players showed how ready they are to be champions again, and their fans can be confident that this Arsenal team will perform well.

Arsenal Show Their Readiness

The manager has what it takes to succeed, and his team appears to have maintained the same passion and desire that helped them become champions last season.

Most of their main challengers have new managers, so the stability Arsenal have could be helpful in shaping their season. Arteta has continued to work with his players, while the squad have the benefit of knowing what is expected of them.

Leboeuf believes the Community Shield victory highlighted the difference between the two teams at this stage of the campaign, with the Gunners appearing more prepared for the season ahead.

City Face Early Pressure

Leboeuf said via the Metro:

‘What we are seeing right now is Arsenal are spot on, City are not ready. So City are going to lose points at the beginning of the season which makes me think it can be unbearable for the fans, it can be impossible to catch up for the players under Maresca.’

Arsenal will hope their convincing victory over City can provide an early indication of what they are capable of achieving during the new campaign. Their preparation, stability and continued desire could all work in their favour as they attempt to retain the Premier League crown.

The Gunners have already shown that they can compete with one of their biggest rivals, and Leboeuf believes that performance demonstrates their readiness. Arteta will now want his players to carry that confidence into the league and maintain the standards that helped them become champions last season.

With their main challengers adjusting to new managers, Arsenal’s stability could prove valuable as the season progresses.
