Havertz breaks a historic record… for mediocrity!

Author of his first goal for Arsenal, Wednesday against the All-Stars of the MLS (5-0), Kai Havertz also illustrated himself in the worst way…

Arsenal did not take half measures. Opposed to the All-Stars team of Major League Soccer, Wednesday night in Washington, on the occasion of their third pre-season friendly match, the Gunners made a big card (5-0). An offensive festival in which Gabriel Jesus participated (5e), Leandro Trossard (23e), Jorginho (47esp), Gabriel Martinelli (84e) and Kai Havertz (89e).

Flagship recruit of the London summer transfer window, poached from Chelsea for 75 million euros, the German striker punctuated this great success in the most beautiful way by scoring his very first goal in his new colors. A nice achievement that did not prevent fans of the English club from making fun of him, for another much less glorious performance.

0/14, an embarrassing record

Before this gala match, the former Blues player participated in a volley competition and he did not convert any of the 14 centers he received. Unheard of in the history of the MLS “Crossbar and Volley Challenge”! But his haters could not rejoice for very long since it was on a volley, after a control of the chest, that he then scored Arsenal’s last goal.

Enough to satisfy his trainer, Mikel Arteta. “His versatility is one of his main qualities.underlined the manager of the Gunners at a press conference. It brings us something very different thanks to its qualities and its size. When you have to counter pressing, for example, and use it as a target. » It will take more to convince the many skeptics about it.
