Clichy warns Arsenal
Gael Clichy has warned his Arsenal team-mates that they cannot afford another season without silverware. The Gunners have not won a trophy since they lifted the FA Cup in 2005 following their penalty shoot-out win over Manchester United and the French defender is desperate to end his side's search for success this season.
Arsenal finished third in the Premier League last year and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and although the new season is yet to start, Clichy has already set his sights on winning the league title.
"For now we don't talk about anything," Clichy told Arsenal.com. "We are just focused on pre-season and getting ready for the start. As we get closer then we start talking about objectives and what we want to achieve.
"For me personally the championship is really important. I think it is the same for the boss, and I know we have the quality to do it. We can't go through another season without winning something.
"[Pre-season success] is important in terms of progressing well before the actual campaign starts, but you see from last season we won both tournaments we entered, then come the end we had no trophies. If I could swap and avoid winning those cups and win something during the season that would be fantastic.
"But of course to win those tournaments would be great, especially against the great teams like Real and Juve, and in Amsterdam."
