Kai Havertz: Arsenal can close the gap to Liverpool using experience from previous title races

Liverpool’s Dominant Start, But Havit Remains Optimistic about Arsenal’s Chances

Despite Liverpool’s commanding nine-point lead over Arsenal in the Premier League standings, Kai Havit believes that his team’s recent experiences will help them bridge the gap. Speaking at an Arsenal in the community event, Havit drew parallels between Arsenal’s situation and their own recent experiences of coming close to the title, only to see their lead slip away.

Lessons Learned from Previous Campaigns

"We’ve been in this race before, last year as well as the year before. The team was in contention for the title, and we know how tough it is. We’re still in the first part of the season, and a lot can happen," Havit said. He emphasized that Arsenal’s focus should be on themselves, rather than Liverpool’s impressive form, which has seen them consistently perform at a high level week in and week out.

The Premier League’s Increasing Toughness

For Havit, one of the key factors contributing to the Premier League’s competitiveness is its increasing toughness from year to year. He acknowledged Liverpool’s dominant display, but remained convinced that Arsenal can still narrow the gap. "You have to give credits to them for sure, but there are still lots of games to play, and lots of points to be won. We’re going to be ready for the fight, and we want to give our best each week to get three points."

Adapting to Change

Havit also touched on the fact that Arsenal’s new manager has brought about changes in style of play, system, and personnel. "When a new manager comes in, they change everything on the pitch. It’s a challenge for the players, but we’re working hard to adapt." Despite these changes, Havit remained confident in Arsenal’s ability to compete with the best teams in the league.

Focusing on Self-Improvement

Ultimately, Havit emphasized the importance of focus on self-improvement. "We believe in our strength, and we want to play our best game. When we do, I think nothing can stop us. That’s why we want to achieve." With a renewed sense of determination and a reminder of their past experiences, Arsenal will be looking to capitalize on their opportunities and bridge the gap to the top of the table.
