Arsenal success spurs Ramsey on

Aaron Ramsey says scoring the winning goal in last season's FA Cup final has fuelled his desire for more success with Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger's side ended a nine-year trophy drought with a dramatic 3-2 extra-time win over Hull at Wembley in May, having been fallen goals down early on.

"Of course there's that great buzz of winning something like that, but it does just make you hungry for more success," said Ramsey.

"With Arsenal, after the years that went by with people saying you haven't won anything for this number of years, then this number of years or whatever, to finally put that to bed and win something was important because it was something to build on.

"Winning just makes you more determined to go on and do more."

Ramsey is also taking inspiration from his World Cup winning team-mates at Arsenal as he prepares to launch Wales' push for Euro 2016 qualification.

Ramsey and Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale will lead the Welsh bid to qualify for a first major tournament since 1958, as they start their campaign against Andorra. The rest of their unpredictable Group B includes Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Israel, and Cyprus.

Many observers believe this represents the best opportunity Wales have had to make it through to a major tournament in several generations, with Ramsey confirming he is eager to sample some international glory to rival that which his Arsenal colleagues Mesut Ozil, Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski tasted at the World Cup in Brazil.

"I am not jealous of them winning the tournament, but the big thing about watching those games was thinking about hopefully being there with Wales and what it would be to go to a World Cup or a European Championship," Ramsey told Wales Online.

"Me and Gareth Bale achieved things at club level last season and you do want that same feeling with the national team.

"You have a taste of success with your club and you want to reach as high as you can with your country too, and that would mean qualifying for a World Cup or Euros. That is what I want to do.

"Maybe not everyone shares the same excitement or maybe needs to be convinced that it will be different this time. We've been guilty in the past of getting off to bad starts and immediately putting a dampener on things.

"You get into a new campaign with all the hype around it, people saying maybe this is the chance, and then losing the first or second game and putting a dampener on everything.

"We have a real chance here of a winning start in Andorra and then two home games to put ourselves in contention right away. We need to get people as excited as we are about this campaign."
