SportsTalk April 26th: Cesc Fabregas recently talked about his former club Arsenal in a podcast. He said that Havertz today reminds him of himself back then.
Fabregas said: “I don’t like to talk about myself, but Havertz reminds me of me at Barcelona, because I Having played both roles he played, false 9 and 8, I know that feeling and it’s great because he now knows he’s an important player in the team, but with that comes the uncertainty. Sometimes you’ll be confused about where you’ll be next, and sometimes it’s best to stick to one direction and do your best.
“Now that Thomas is back, Rice will play more at the 8th position, so Havertz will become the 9th position. I think it suits the way Arsenal want to play tactically.
I really like his performance in the frontcourt. He has a very good linking ability and can find space to score goals. The timing of his moves is also very good, he plays the ball very simply, doesn’t try to do too many tricks or fancy stuff, just does what he has to do.
“He plays very simple, very basic, and that’s what makes him great. He scores a lot of very important goals. , the fans seem to love him very much, so he is also a major advantage for Arsenal this year.”
