Arshavin calls on Gunners to believe
The Russian, who joined Arsenal from Zenit St Petersburg in January, is enjoying life with the north London side.[LNB]But he feels they must believe in themselves to improve their chances of ending a trophy drought which stretches back to 2005 - citing August's defeat by champions Manchester United at Old Trafford as an example.[LNB]He explained: "We must improve our character.[LNB]"When we played Manchester United this season, they just showed character and it was enough to beat us. We must have confidence in each other.[LNB]"We are very friendly off the pitch but we must be stronger and trust in ourselves a little bit more.[LNB]"We must believe more. The confidence is coming but sometimes it seems to me we don't have enough."[LNB]Arshavin insists he is happier playing football which is pleasing to the eye.[LNB]The 28-year-old continued in the Daily Telegraph: "Arsenal play beautiful football. If I was in a team that kicked the ball long and I had to run, I would never smile.[LNB]"When you play against Birmingham or Blackburn, they play very simple. Long ball, fight.[LNB]"If you have strong defence, no problem. They intercept the ball and we start to play good football."[LNB]However, he added: "Chelsea play very defensively - but if I know after a season I have a trophy, okay - I am ready to play football like Chelsea. In modern football you must get results."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
