On September 23rd, in the 5th round of the Premier League, Manchester City drew 2-2 with Arsenal at home. Neville stated that after watching this match, he has doubts about Arsenal’s title-winning prospects.
Neville said, “At the beginning of the season, I firmly believed that Arsenal would win the Premier League title. Because over the past two seasons, Arsenal has consistently put pressure on Manchester City, getting closer and closer to them, and I believed they would eventually achieve their goal.”
Neville then spoke about Arsenal’s performance in this game: “This match was a milestone and decisive moment for Arsenal. In the past two seasons, Arsenal collapsed in the last ten games; last season, they kept the championship suspense until the very end, continuously maturing. Now we need to think about where Arsenal will be in April and May next year? If Manchester City ends up winning the title again by a narrow margin, will Arsenal regret this match even more?”
Neville continued, “The season is long, every team will drop points and make mistakes. But when you compete with Guardiola’s team, it gives you this feeling that any small difference could decide the fate of the entire season.”
