He said that no matter which position the manager asks him to play in the team, he will do his best to give his best. He believes that this competition is not only limited to the position he plays, but throughout the entire team. It is this competitive spirit that motivates Arsenal players to improve and inspire each other. He emphasizes that as professional players, they need to give their best on the pitch, while off the pitch they are a united family.
