Martin Ødegaard says Arsenal want to win everything after Community Shield win

"We want to attack it. We want to do it again. When you get a taste of how nice it is you want to do it again. There are more trophies to go for. We want to win everything," Martin Ødegaard said after Arsenal's 3-0 Community Shield win over Manchester City. It was a strong start to the season, and the captain added that he wants more goals himself after a disrupted year.

Arsenal opened the scoring through Riccardo Calafiori in under 30 seconds, then Ødegaard scored and finished with an 8.3 rating. He had 1 goal, 2 shots on target and 2 key passes in 84 minutes. That sits alongside the fact that Arsenal remained in contention to clinch a historic quadruple as late in the season as April last year, which is why the appetite in the dressing room feels so pointed.

Christos Tzolis makes an immediate case

Christos Tzolis was the other obvious winner. Arsenal paid £34 million, a Belgian Pro League record, to sign him from Club Brugge, and he responded with two assists on his competitive debut. His 8.2 rating matched the eye test, too. He looked calm in the final third, and Mikel Arteta was quick to praise that part of his game.

"He's come into the team and really organically he's fitted in," Arteta said. "He's a really intelligent boy, and he has a massive quality, which is that in the last 30 metres, he is so composed to pick people out in and around the box or to finish." That is the sort of debut that gives Arsenal another route to chance creation early in the campaign.

City's response after the defeat

Rúben Dias did not hide from the result after Arsenal vs Manchester City. "It's the beginning of the season but it's not good enough," he said, and he added that "many things are changing and a new manager as well." It was Enzo Maresca's first competitive game in charge of City, and the 0-3 defeat left him with a flat first impression.

City will have to respond quickly, but Arsenal leave Wembley with a trophy, a captain talking about winning everything and a debutant already making a case for regular minutes.
