Kai Lukas Havertz (Acquisgrán, 1999) He has become a footballer of great moments. His was the gol that defeated Manchester City (0-1) to give the Chelsea the second Champions of its history. He also marked in extra timethe much he gave to the ‘blues’ al Club World Cup against Palmeiras (2-1).
And ‘clutch moment’ (crucial actions in moments of maximum pressure) which also begins to develop in the Arsenal. His goal against Sporting (0-1) in the ida of quarters ended up giving the pass to semis to the ‘gunners’.
Against Burnley (1-0) it could have ended expelled… but scored a new goal that can be worth your ‘weight in gold’. He took a corner Bukayo Saka and the former Chelsea player, signed in 2023 in exchange for 75 million eurosheaded into the net in the small area.
Injuries have forced him to miss 41 parties this course, but your first goal in Premier since February -accumulates six goals and four assists in total – could not have arrived in best time. “I think sometimes we forget the number of exceptional players that we have been missing for a very long period this season,” underlined Mikel Arteta
I think sometimes we forget how many exceptional players we’ve been missing this season.
The Arsenal coach admitted, however, that he breathed a sigh of relief when The VAR ‘forgave’ Havertz the red card for his terrible entrance – he stuck his heels into his calf – on Lesley Ugochukwu: “I certainly was concerned when they were looking at it.”
A Havertz and Arteta A curious bond unites them. Unlike Robin Hood, they are specialists in ‘robbing’ the ‘poor’. Just the coach ‘gunner’ has marked a highest percentage of goals (34.1%) against teams in the relegation zone that the German international(32,6%). Arteta He scored 14 of his 41 goals in Premier against teams that occupied relegation places. Havertz, for his part, has accumulated 14 of 43.
There is only one game left, Sunday against Crystal Palaceso that the Arsenal end a ‘drought’ of 22 years without winning the Premier. Arteta can rest assured. When the terrain gets steep, ‘Cobra Kai’ stings more than ever.
