In the 2008-09 arsenal away game against Liverpool, the two sides reached 4-4 in the end, and Arshavin scored four goals alone. After Henry, he became Arsenal's first player to score four dollars in a single Premier League game and the first star to play four away at Anfield in the league.
During this game, the presence of the other players was greatly reduced, and all the attention was focused on Andrei Arshavin. Ten years after the game, the 37-year-old Arshavin is ready to retire. The 2018 Kazakh Premier League came to an end on 11 November, with Almaty Kairat finishing only runners-up in four seasons.
Arshavin, who has decided to retire after the season, came off the bench and scored nine goals in 40 minutes to tie for seventh place on the top scorers list. Only the final battle of the Kazakhstan Cup final remains, whether Arshavin will play or not, we do not know. Even as time passes, he's not as energetic as he was when he was younger, but he's constantly inspired on the pitch and shows off his signature killer skills from time to time.
If it weren't for the olive branch of Kazakhstan two years ago, Arshavin might have left the green field long ago. Arshavin's three seasons in Kazakhstan have been impressive, with particularly high goal and assist rates in the tournament, and two times the Best of the Month and one Player of the Year.
In March 2016, Arshavin happily signed a contract with Almaty Katerra. At that time, a Kazakh journalist, Piot Volivkov, said in public that if Arshavin could score 8 goals this season, he would go straight to a bald head. At that time, many people, like him, were very distrustful of Arshavin, and from his bumpy career, no one knew that the former Tsar, who was no small in age, could still maintain a good state.
Russian journalist Arthur Petrosyan also expressed his views on Arshavin's short life as a tyrant. He believed that Andre's running was not so fast, and he always went unnoticed most of the time, until he suddenly found an opportunity to play a beautiful ball under his own inspiration. He also said that Andrei is not an ambitious personality, in fact, he, like other Russian players, when he succeeds for a period of time, he slowly lacks the pressure and motivation to move forward.
While many people were still lamenting Arshavin's bumpy road, he didn't stumble halfway through. The Kazakh "oath" also became part of his motivation to move forward. In the 2016 season, after scoring eight goals in his personal season, Almaty Karat FC held a special celebration for him. Under the watchful eyes of many, Arshavin personally helped the once mocking journalist Piot Vollikov fulfill his bald oath.
We all know that Andre Alshavin is not an absolutely perfect player, he is not a traditional team master, but at his feet, he always brings us countless artistic goals. For so long, he was still an irreplaceable being, and there was no need to compare with those eternal legends, and the Arsha Text man was the radiance of that moment.
