Havertz Just Needs To Keep Putting In The Work – Arteta

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to reveal how he motivated Kai Havertz with a strange analogy about his wife. This is coming after his struggles at the club, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he simply told Havertz that it was very hard to conquer his wife before she agreed to date him, but it happened eventually and the relationship blossomed ever since.

Arteta added that same can be the fate of Kai’s career if he is consistent with putting in the work.

His words, “I said to Havertz: ‘Things are hard at the beginning. When I met my wife, at the beginning it was hard to conquer her. It was hard, I had to try and message her, and go, and go. And at the end when she says: ‘yes, we can be together…’ it’s beautiful’.”

WOW.
