BREAKING NEWS: “He’s a Monster” – Thomas Frank Left Stunned by One Arsenal Star’s Brutal Performance Against Brentford (Not Rice, Not Saka)
In the aftermath of Brentford’s tense encounter with Arsenal, manager Thomas Frank delivered a sensational post-match statement that had journalists scrambling. Speaking with a mix of awe and disbelief, Frank admitted:
> “It was today I truly confirmed he’s a monster. No wonder Ancelotti called him that last week. His type of player is rare to find. If not for one thing, they could’ve defeated us.”
Frank was not referring to usual suspects like Declan Rice or Bukayo Saka—he was speaking about Kai Havertz, who put on a devastating all-round display that left Brentford’s defense rattled.
Why Havertz?
Today, Havertz operated with controlled aggression and silky technical quality. He drifted into spaces between the lines, dragged defenders out of position, won duels in the air, and created multiple chances. According to Opta stats, Havertz completed:
91% pass accuracy
4 successful take-ons
3 key passes
1 goal contribution (assist)
7 aerial duels won
Frank admitted that it was Havertz’s positional intelligence and unpredictability that nearly tore his system apart.
> “We prepared for Saka and Ødegaard, even Rice. But Havertz… he was everywhere—pressing high, dropping deep, creating chaos. That’s the kind of monster Carlo [Ancelotti] warned us about. He’s unmarkable when he’s in this mood.”
What Was the ‘One Thing’ That Saved Brentford?
Frank alluded cryptically to the “one thing” that saved his team, believed to be a controversial VAR offside call that ruled out Havertz’s second-half goal. Without that ruling, Arsenal would have claimed all three points.
> “If that goal stood, there’s no coming back. He would’ve buried us. But that’s football. Sometimes, it’s the smallest margins.”
Not the First to Recognize the Monster Within
Just last week, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti described Havertz as a “hybrid of power and finesse”, suggesting Madrid must “keep him quiet at all costs” in the upcoming Champions League tie. Frank now echoes that sentiment.
> “He’s not flashy every second, but when he strikes—it’s lethal. You only realize the damage when it’s too late.”
Final Word
Havertz’s rise under Arteta continues to surprise many. From being questioned early in the season to becoming Arsenal’s secret weapon, his stock is rising fast. And with managers like Ancelotti and Frank publicly acknowledging his danger, it’s clear Havertz has finally stepped into the spotlight.
Arsenal fans, beware: if he’s already th
is monstrous—imagine him against Madrid next week.
