Some remember, others want to forget.

Kai Havertz was clearly not happy when news of his departure from Chelsea to Arsenal leaked before he said goodbye to the home fans.

He wanted to announce this momentous event himself as a heartfelt expression of his affection for the place he once considered his second home, a place filled with cherished memories. Now, how could he explain this to those who had followed his every step through thick and thin, through all his joys and sorrows?

“These words I write from the bottom of my heart, directed towards you, the fans who have shown me so much precious affection. Because this is a major event in my playing career, I wanted to be the first to announce this new chapter.” The German player wrote this in a letter to Chelsea fans, emphasizing that his three years with the club were exciting and filled with memorable milestones. “Together with you, I successfully achieved my Champions League dream, and then the Super Cup and the Club World Cup. A journey full of emotions. Thank you for your support. Thank you, Chelsea!”

With genuine sincerity, Havertz expressed his heartfelt farewells to the place he was about to leave, expressing his deep affection and attachment. He seemed to forget that his new club was a rival of Chelsea. Although both are from London, Arsenal and Chelsea have always been fierce rivals on the pitch. In every competition, both domestically and on the continent, they compete intensely, to the point where the success of one team automatically becomes the failure of the other. Having moved from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 for £75 million, Havertz scored a total of 32 goals and provided 15 assists in 139 appearances, becoming a key striker for Chelsea. And the greatest highlight of his dedication was the decisive goal that brought the Champions League trophy back to the English capital in the 2021 final against rivals Manchester City.

This joyful journey, Havertz says, will follow him back to Arsenal, becoming the driving force that motivates him to dedicate himself to the goals of his new home in the upcoming season. Many fans are now imagining, with curious delight, Havertz's upcoming return to Stamford Bridge in the white and red Arsenal shirt: Will the young man still remember his old home?

How can one forget the beautiful memories! Only the sad milestones on the pitch deserve to be forgotten. Sadio Mane, the Senegalese striker currently playing for Bayern Munich, probably understands this well when someone keeps reminding him of his punch that left teammate Leroy Sane bleeding from the mouth at the Etihad Stadium last April. “It’s shameful and regrettable that I treated my teammate that way. But sometimes things happen on the pitch that are beyond our control. We’ve put it behind us. Now the whole team is focused on the new season!” Mane said this confidently in front of the television cameras recently.

But will the former Liverpool striker be able to erase the bitterness of the heavy defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals? The bloodstained corner of his usually mild-mannered teammate Sane's mouth still lingers in the shock and disappointment of many, including the Munich public and the club's management. The reigning German champions – under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel – have just planned to sell seven players, including Mane and Sane. This is surprising, as both Mane and Sane are still sharp, with Mane having just scored two goals in Senegal's victory over former world champions Brazil.

Perhaps the pain from that humiliating punch hasn't faded yet. Mane tries to forget, but many in Munich keep remembering.
