Robin van Persie has called on Arsenal teammates to follow his example and go the extra mile for the club.
Van Persie has been arguably the hottest striker in Europe this year - he scored a joint-record 18 goals from January 1 to the end of last season and has netted in a record nine consecutive Premier League away games. He wants to pick up where he left off when the new campaign starts next month.
"For me, it was the first time that I could really push on from February or even earlier. I set myself a big aim to keep going as long as I could," he told arsenal.com.
"Everyone needs to find their own trick, to push themselves to play better than you normally do. That's what I did. Hopefully we can do that as a team because you are always stronger as a team than as an individual."
