“why I am a very relaxed” Kai haverts defends his performance for Arsenal amid accusations that he is very slow when playing games

Kai Havertz is relaxed about his slow start at Arsenal – “there are phases like that”

Kai Havertz is relaxed about his slow start at Arsenal – “there are phases like that”

In a surprising summer move, Arsenal secured the services of Kai Havertz from Chelsea in a £65 million deal. The question on many minds was how the young midfielder would adapt to his new environment, especially given his modest 19 Premier League goals in three seasons at Chelsea.

Arsenal has been tweaking its formation to accommodate Havertz, who is yet to open his account for Mikel Arteta’s team. The pressure on him is palpable, fueled by the weighty price tag and high expectations. Havertz’s integration into the squad remains a subject of scrutiny.

Havertz’s time at Chelsea was marked by intermittent flashes of brilliance, but consistency proved elusive. His return to a midfield role he excelled in at Bayer Leverkusen brings hope for a resurgence in form. The challenge for Havertz lies in recapturing the magic that initially propelled him into the European football limelight.

The early days at Arsenal are undoubtedly a period of adjustment for Havertz. The weight of expectations, coupled with the sizeable transfer fee, adds to the pressure. However, patience is key in these early stages. Every player requires time to settle into a new club, and Havertz is no exception.

The recent triumph against Manchester United offers a glimmer of hope. While Havertz is yet to hit his stride, there’s a prevailing belief in his potential to thrive under Arteta’s guidance. The lack of confidence and adaptation phase are par for the course with such transitions.

Kai Havertz’s Arsenal journey is just beginning. The challenges he faces are surmountable, and with time and support, he’s poised to deliver the performances that justified his acquisition. As the international break offers a breather, there’s optimism that Havertz will return reenergized, ready to prove his ability is still there.

The player himself is obviously aware of the pressure on him to start earning his masive wages, but he sure it will get better soon, after this “phase” he is going through…..

| Kai Havertz on his difficult start at Arsenal: “Sure, something like that keeps you busy. But I have often had a phase and then you often only see the negative. It’s not the first club where I start again.

“Of course, you want to succeed as soon as possible, but I know that

He said: “Sure, things like that keep you busy.

‘But I’ve often had a phase and that you often only see the negative. It’s not the first club where I’m starting over.

‘Of course, you want to be successful as quickly as possible, but I know that there are phases like that. I try to approach it in a relaxed manner.’

Maybe if the fans didn’t put so much pressure on him, he could relax a bit more and stop trying too hard?

Who wouldn’t be relaxed when they know their performance in the pitch will not, in any way affect their earnings at the end of the day. Worst of all, the person charged with monitoring his output and pushing him for the benefit of the team is not bothered at all. What coach in the history of football, ever goes out to pay top dollar for an underperforming player? Why are we only fetching £4million on Pepe? Why didn’t we get a penny for Ozil or Obameyang? Why’s it so hard to sell Cedric? That’s because other clubs have thinking heads, and have no time for infatuations. They don’t dream of building castles in the sky.

Well expressed. If Havertz is going ‘to do it’, he needs to do it now. Football in it’s reality is ‘unforgiving’ and we all have eyes. There will be no ‘propaganda’ that will mask and protect Havertz if he does not live up to Arteta’s hype. Meanwhile other grade A players like Leo Trossard are missing time to show their undoubted creativity. There is a limit to how long supporters will accept clear second best.

Sam let me help you with that last paragraph….

Maybe if the manager didn’t put so much pressure on him by starting him instead of introducing him at a slower pace, he could relax a bit more and stop trying too hard?

Giving time and patience to new players is fair enough but would Arteta have given the same time and patience to other non performing players is the question. No doubt Havertz may come good after some more time, but starting Havertz presently whilst he is struggling and keeping other better players on the bench is not only unfair to other players but also risky as it could cost Arsenal points. Let Havertz be slowly integrated into the team and depending on his progress and performances, let Arteta decide whether to start him or not. I wish well for Havertz but consistently giving him starts over other better players is not fair. Arsenal is bigger than any player and the priority should be to play the best XI irrespective of price tag/wages.
