Arsenal fans were excited by the actions of West Ham United ‘captain’ Declan Rice.
Arsenal drew 2-2 in the 2022/23 season Premier League round 31 away match against West Ham held at the Olympic Stadium in London, England on the 16th (Korean time).
They took a 2-0 lead in the 10th minute of the first half, but conceded a goal to Mohamed Benrama in the 33rd minute of the first half, and gave up an equalizer to Jerod Bowen in the 9th minute of the second half. It was painful that Bukayo Saka missed a penalty just before the equalizer.
Arsenal, who had just earned one point, maintained first place in the league with 23 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, with 74 points. However, the gap with second-place Man City, who played one less game, is only 4 points, and a face-to-face match is scheduled for the 33rd round, so it is burdensome. 안전놀이터
It was a disappointing result for fans, but there were also parts that could be accepted positively. It was because of the actions of West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, whom Arsenal are targeting.
Rice, who captains West Ham, approached Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard after the game and asked for a shirt and autograph.
Rice’s hobby is collecting jerseys of his teammates in the soccer world. Looking at the photos of the room Rice posted on his personal social media account, the walls are lined with uniforms.
The uniforms of players representing the Premier League, including Tottenham ace Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, as well as Jack Grealish, David Silva and Sergio Aguero, are decorated.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the purpose of simple collection was great this time as well. But Arsenal fans took it a little differently. The fact that Rice wanted an Arsenal shirt was seen as suggesting a move to Arsenal this summer.
According to The Sun in England, fans cheered, “Rice is an Arsenal player. We all want Rice”, “Rice seems to want to leave West Ham”, and “100% will go to Arsenal”.
