Campbell on Arsenal's long-awaited triumph

Sol Campbell, part of Arsenal's 2004 Invincibles, reflects on the team's recent Premier League triumph after a 22-year drought.

Sol Campbell, the cornerstone of Arsenal's famous Invincibles defense from 2004, has commented on the Premier League triumph that ended a 22-year wait for the club. The former defender understands the pressure that mounted year after year as Arsenal came close but never quite reached the finish line.

Having experienced the historic unbeaten season in 2004, Campbell recognizes the weight of expectation on the current squad. 'The wait has been so heavy and it was all pent up, building year after year,' he said. 'That's why you saw such an outpouring of joy and togetherness. It's been incredible because we've been waiting such a long time.' mchezo.co.za
