Follow The Team: Havertz’s Start Against Burnley Is Surprising, Zhe Kai Should Start In The Champions League Final

Hupu News on May 19th, there are reports that this time it came from a reporter, that is, Arsenal and team reporter Tom Canton. The reporter talked about the situation of two forwards related to Arsenal, one is Havertz and the other is Dzheke Laish.

Arteta arranged for Havertz to start in the game against Burnley. However, in the upcoming Champions League final, the main center position is still expected to belong to Dzekeresh.

When Arsenal announced their starting lineup for the game against Burnley, it was somewhat surprising. For most of this season, there is almost no obvious suspense about the position of the Gunners center. Except for a minor injury and the brief period of bright and prominent glory of Jesus after the winter solstice, Dzhekeresh has basically locked in the absolute main position of this role.

However, in Monday night's game against Burnley, Arteta unexpectedly appointed Havertz as a starter. And this German international player really lived up to everyone's expectations and scored a very critical and important goal. If Manchester City makes a mistake when playing away to Bournemouth, then this goal may even directly help Arsenal lock the Premier League championship.

Although Dzekeresh then came on as a substitute and received warm applause from the fans. After he came on the stage, he spared no effort to fight and win the confrontation. He also ignited the enthusiasm of the fans in the stands with his iron-blooded performance in helping the team hold on to the victory. However, this still triggered speculation from the outside world: Is Arteta already rehearsing the starting lineup for the Champions League final in his mind?

After joining, Havertz has always been valued and appreciated by Arteta. If he had not suffered an injury in the opening game of this season, Dzhekeresh's season direction may have been completely different from what it was at that time. However, after giving a game performance data of 21 goals, this killer who once played for Sporting CP as a striker, the performance he showed is enough to fully prove that he deserves to be qualified for the main position in the team.

So, why did you choose to make Havertz's first appearance against Burnley? The answer is actually relatively easy to understand. For much of the year, Burnley used a low-lying, tight defensive approach until Michael Jackson took over. In this game, they showed a particularly strong desire to attack each other, and once even left Arsenal with no way to deal with it.

But it is obvious that a false nine with more sophisticated skills like Havertz plays a key role when he is on the court. He effectively enlivens the team's offense. Especially during the first half, Arsenal played an extremely smooth cooperation. Arteta actually described this performance as one of the very outstanding stages of the team's performance this season.
