Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has called on his teammates to stay mentally sharp and block out distractions as the club edges closer to a potential historic achievement.
As the pressure intensifies in the title race, the skipper acknowledged the noise surrounding the team but stressed the importance of staying grounded and focused on performance.
“For some people, maybe stay away from the phone. But in today’s society it’s impossible to not see things,” said the captain.
“It’s about being strong mentally and being focused on the right things, to live day by day and game by game.
“It doesn’t matter what the people say. We can’t control that. We can work every single day as hard as we can. Just keep doing that.
“It’s massive for all of us. We’re in a great position to make history and that’s what we want to do.
“I’ve been at this club for a while now and I’ve seen the progression. It’s been amazing to be a part of that.
“We want to take that last step and do something really big and that’s what we’re all working towards every single day.”
With the stakes rising and expectations building, Arsenal find themselves in a defining stretch of the season.
However, rather than getting caught up in outside opinions, Odegaard is urging a tunnel-vision approach—keeping eyes on the prize while taking it one match at a time.
As the campaign enters its decisive phase, the message from the captain is clear: stay locked in, trust the process, and push relentlessly toward making history.
