Kai Havertz clearly couldn't be happier when news of his move from Chelsea to Arsenal leaked out before he said goodbye to his home fans.
He wanted to personally announce this important event as a way to express his nostalgia for the place that he once considered his second home, a place that holds many beautiful memories for him. Now, how should he speak to those who have braved the sun and rain to follow his every step with all the joys and sorrows!
“I write these lines with a heavy heart towards you, the fans who have given me so much precious affection. Because it is a big event in my football career, I want to be the first to announce this new turn.” The German wrote in a letter to Chelsea fans, emphasizing that his 3 years playing for the club were an interesting period with many memorable milestones. “With you, I successfully realized my dream of the Champions League and then the Super Cup and the Club World Cup. An emotional journey. Thank you for your support. Thank you Chelsea!”
Innocent and sincere, Havertz confided in the place he was about to leave with many lingering and lingering words. He seemed to forget that the new home he was playing for was a rival of Chelsea. Although they share the same city of London, Arsenal and Chelsea on the pitch have always been rivals that cannot be… on the same page. In every arena, both domestically and on the continent, they compete and hold each other back fiercely, to the point that the success of one team automatically becomes the failure of the other. From Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 for 75 million pounds, Havertz scored a total of 32 goals and 15 decisive passes in 139 appearances, becoming a key striker for Chelsea. And the biggest highlight in his dedication was the decisive goal that brought the Champions League trophy to the English capital in the 2021 season final against rival Manchester City.
This joyful journey, Havertz said, will follow him back to Arsenal, becoming the motivation urging him to focus on the goals of his new home in the upcoming season. Many viewers suddenly imagined with curiosity and excitement Havertz's upcoming return to Stamford Bridge in the red and white of Arsenal: Does the young man still remember his old home?
How can we forget beautiful memories! Only sad milestones on the football field are worth forgetting. Sadio Mane - the Senegalese striker who plays for Bayern Munich - probably understood this when someone kept reminding him about his punch that made his teammate Leroy Sane's mouth bleed at the Etihad Stadium last April. "It was embarrassing and regrettable that I treated my teammate like that. But sometimes there are incidents that are beyond our control on the football field. We have left them behind. Now the whole team is focused on the new season!" In front of the television camera recently, Mane boldly said that.
But will the former Liverpool striker be able to erase the sadness of the Champions League quarter-final defeat to Manchester City? The bloodied corner of his gentle teammate Sane's lips still seems to be deeply imprinted in the shock and disappointment of many people, including the Munich public and the club's managers. The current German champions - under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel - have just planned to sell 7 players, including Mane and Sane. It is surprising because both Mane and Sane are still sharp, with Mane scoring twice in Senegal's victory over former world champions Brazil.
Perhaps the sadness from that shameful punch has not faded. Mane tries to forget but many people in Munich still remember.
