Viktor Gyokeres rejects idea of Community Shield being a friendly
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has dismissed suggestions that the upcoming Community Shield against Manchester City is merely a friendly. Speaking ahead of the fixture at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Gyokeres emphasized the team's desire to secure silverware to build confidence for the new Premier League season.
Arsenal enters the match with a strong record in the competition, having won their last five appearances. Despite recent preseason struggles, including a 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund, Gyokeres expressed confidence in the squad's hunger and resolve under manager Mikel Arteta.
Before the showdown with Manchester City, Arsenal is scheduled to play a final preseason friendly against Como at the Emirates Stadium.
