Beautiful afternoon for Arsenal and Mikel Merino. If the Gunners are completely decimated in attack, since Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and now Kai Havertz are all at the infirmary, the last two cities until the end of the season, the Londoners still reached Leicester's lawn with the three points. It was not until the 81st minute to see the Mikel Arteta team take the advantage, thanks to Mikel Merino, who even offered a double moments later. At the end of the meeting, the midfielder who arrived last summer at the Emirates Stadium explained to dedicate his goals to his wife, the day after Valentine's Day: ” It was the right day to score because I forgot to offer something to my wife yesterday for Valentine's Day. So I dedicate my double (laughs) to him. »»
Accustomed to evolving in the midfield, the 28 -year -old was positioned as an attacker by his coach. And the main interested party said his surprise: ” He told me that I was going to enter as an attacker. This morning, we talked about it a little with one of the assistants. Honestly, it was a surprise because it is the first time in my career that I have played in this position. He told me to go as an attacker, to make sure to use my strengths, and fortunately I was able to help the team scoring two goals today. »Mikel Artera can be proud of his poker blow.
