Andrey Arshavin this name I think many post-90s or post-80s fans and friends should be very familiar with, born in St. Petersburg, Russia on May 29, 1981, former Russian footballer, on the field can play forward, winger, shadow forward, center and other positions, nicknamed "Tsar".
He is a player with outstanding technical characteristics (the best performance in possession of the ball), a strong personality (very domineering performance on the field), and the only star with intercontinental influence in Russian football for many years.
He debuted in Zenit St. Petersburg and since 2001 Arshavin has been a mainstay in the team, helping Zenit to win the second place in the Russian Premier League in 2001, 2002 and 2004
In 2007, Arshavin made 30 appearances in the Russian Premier League, scoring 10 goals and providing 11 assists, helping the team win the first Russian Premier League title in team history. In the 2007–08 Europa League, Arshavin helped Zenit to a back-to-back elimination 、、、, reached the European final for the first time in its history.
On 30 August 2008, he helped his team win 2–1 in a match against Zenit in the European Super Cup, becoming the first Russian club to lift the UEFA Super Cup. On December 2, Arshavin finished sixth in the Ballon d'Or.
In the winter window of that year, Arsenal put him on Arsenal's No. 23 shirt for a record transfer fee (£1500W), which was a rare star player that Arsenal brought in during the no-crown period. At that time, Arsenal signed two types of players: one is Eduardo, Vermalen and other notorious, powerful, young, big upside players; the other is Ramsey, Szesni, Villa and other such a big push of young players, basically worthless, play out the club earns, can not play out of the scrap. Later, he began to sign players such as Benayoun, Campbell, Lehmann and Henry. Obviously, Ashavin is the kind of celebrity level.
Although Arshavin was 28 years old at the time, Arsenal chose to believe in him in recognition of his abilities. In five years, he has made 143 appearances for Arsenal, scored 31 goals, assisted 42 goals, and made a huge contribution to arsenal on the offensive end in difficult times, sometimes against the sky or wonderful moments, is the kind of talented player you will not forget, he has delicate skills under his feet, accurate passing and a good overall view. His breakthrough, control pass, transfer, speed, explosive power are really superior, there is no superfluous movement under his feet, clean and clean.
The highlight was when he was with the Gunners in the 08-09 season, when Arsenal played the Premier League game against Liverpool, Andrshavin unbelievably staged a senior year. In the whole game, Liverpool shot 22 times on goal, 15 shots on target, arsenal only 8 shots on goal, 4 shots on target, but the final score was 4-4, Arshavin alone dominated the outcome of the game. The match became a classic in the hearts of Arsenal fans and an eternal pain in the hearts of Liverpool fans (liverpool had hopes of winning the title at that time). Anfield's World War I canonization made the world remember this late Russian tsar, and became one of the best left wingers in the Premier League at that time.
But in the 11-12 season, his form can be said to be a cliff-like decline. On 18 March 2016, Arshavin moved freely to Kerat FC in the Kazakh Premier League. On November 9, 2018, Arshavin announced his official retirement.
Some say it's because of his age and professional attitude, others say it's because of his laziness, no matter how we evaluate him, and Chavin is just indulging in the joy of football himself, all of which is enough for him.
Looking back on Arshavin's career, it's not a huge success, but he once caused a ripple of amazing time in our youth, and that's enough.
