“I am seriously disappointed I’m him because why on earth would he ever thought of doing that?”- Arsenal Legend Ian Wright was left annoyed with what Arsenal star player did against Porto last night

Ian Wright’s exasperation reached new heights during the clash between Arsenal and Porto in the Champions League Round of 16, particularly directed towards Kai Havertz, the 29th player of Arsenal.

As the action unfolded on Sky Sports, Wright, a seasoned football commentator, couldn’t contain his disappointment with the German international’s conduct, especially upon reviewing the contentious moment involving Martin Odegaard’s disallowed goal.

Initially, Wright staunchly defended Odegaard’s move, deeming it fair play. However, his tone shifted when he noticed Havertz’s indiscretion: a blatant tug on Pepe’s jersey. Expressing his incredulity, Wright questioned aloud, “Why would he resort to such tactics?”

Indeed, Havertz’s performance against the seasoned Pepe showcased moments of brilliance marred by lapses in judgment, exemplified by the ill-timed jersey pull that ultimately overshadowed Odegaard’s potential scoring opportunity.

Transitioning from his lackluster tenure at Chelsea, where he often appeared disengaged, Havertz has undergone a remarkable transformation under Mikel Arteta’s tutelage at Arsenal. The hefty £65 million investment is now yielding dividends as Havertz exhibits a newfound hunger on the pitch, relentlessly pursuing goals and applying pressure on opposing defenders.

Arteta’s tactical acumen has seamlessly integrated Havertz into the team, capitalizing on his energy and astute movement to create scoring opportunities, particularly in tandem with the dynamic Bukayo Saka.

Despite initial skepticism surrounding his transfer to North London, Havertz is rapidly cementing his role as a linchpin in Arsenal’s lineup, emerging as a pivotal figure in their pursuit of success.
