Jorginho Defends Havertz Amid Arsenal Criticism

Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has faced mixed reactions, as he recently defended teammate Kai Havertz against criticism for his performance since joining the club from Chelsea. Initially struggling, Havertz has improved, scoring nine goals in 19 matches this season, yet pundits continue to question his scoring ability. Jorginho described the criticism as 'crazy' and emphasized Havertz's contributions and growth in toughness. Despite his age and a recent injury to Thomas Partey, Jorginho delivered a standout performance in a 5-2 victory over West Ham, leading some fans to call for the club to extend his contract. However, not all reactions have been positive; Jorginho faced backlash for his behavior during the match, where he obstructed the West Ham goalkeeper, prompting criticism of his sportsmanship. Overall, Jorginho's presence in the squad continues to spark debate among fans and analysts alike.
