What did Havertz say?
“Erik ten Hag was there for a couple of years, and, obviously, when a new manager comes in, they change their style of play, they change their system, they change their players, so there are going to be a lot of different things on the pitch now,” the Arsenal and Germany forward claimed on Sky Sports.
“But I think for us, the main thing is to focus on ourselves. We believe in our strengths, and we want to play our best game.
“When we play our best game, I think nothing can stop us, and that’s what we want to do.”
Havertz has been a key player for Arsenal this season, scoring nine goals and delivering one assist in 19 games in all competitions.
