Bukayo Saka destroys everything in its path. This season, nothing really seems able to stop the young 21-year-old striker. Radiating with Arsenal since his explosion in the 2019/2020 season, the London native has been particularly untenable in recent months (12 goals and 10 assists in 28 league games this year). It’s certainly no coincidence that the Gunners sit top of the Premier League and have never looked closer to winning the Premier League title for a long time. And it was not the international break that cut his wings.
Twice established by Gareth Southgate in the right lane of the Three Lions attack, first in Italy (2-1) on Thursday, then against Ukraine (2-0) on Sunday, Bukayo Saka has once again responded present and carried his team. If he did not score against the reigning European champions, his perfectly kicked corner from the right brought Declan Rice’s opener. It was then the same situation that led to the obtaining of the penalty converted by Harry Kane just before the break. Without forgetting the importance of the defensive work carried out by the player trained by Arsenal on the lawn of Naples.
Bukayo Saka makes everyone agree
For the second match counting for the Euro 2024 qualifiers, Saka took things even more in hand in his garden at Wembley. The Arsenal winger first dropped a love from a returning center for Harry Kane to score his 55th goal for the selection. Three minutes later, the one who is nicknamed “England’s starboy” in our English neighbors did not need anyone to get rid of the marking, with his back to goal, before unleashing a delicious, powerful curling shot from the left, sealing the score of this game against Zbirna. Besides that, Bukayo Saka was the most visible element on the pitch, constantly threatening a helpless Vitaliy Mykolenko, and causing no less than 4 fouls, which earned him the man of the match award. .
A feeling shared by the media of Her Majesty’s Kingdom, who unanimously elected the kid from Arsenal “man of the match” with the score of 9/10. ” The winger enjoyed himself against Vitaliy Mykolenko. Saka created England’s opener and then underscored his quality with a stunning goal “, writing The Guardian about her. ” After a quiet first 20 minutes he was a constant threat on the England right. As his influence grew, England’s dominance increased. He gave Vitaliy Mykolenko a scorching time at Wembley with his pace, cunning and energy. He brought in Harry Kane’s opening goal with a perfect cross before his superb strike lifted the roof of Wembley. Man of the match as his superb season continues “, rejoices on his side Sky Sports.
England are crazy about their new star
Whether The Telegraph only credited Bukayo Saka with an 8/10, the British daily did not fail to point out that the England n°17 remained on 4 goals scored in his last 6 outings with the Three Lions jersey on his shoulders . No matter the rating, the facts are there and no one is fooled in England, where The Mirror Talk about ” our smiling assassin to highlight Bukayo Saka.
” It was a high level finishcommented Gareth Southgate after the victory against Ukraine. It’s the ruthless part he’s added to his game over the past 18 months. There were times when you weren’t sure he was going to finish, but now he has that confidence in front of goal. His hunger and humility has put him on the right track, so he has all the attributes to keep improving and learning because that’s how he’s wired, and I don’t see that changing with him and his family. On the other side of the Channel, observers are also pointing to the increasingly complicit relationship between Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka.
The Saka-Kane duo is a dream
Enemies in their clubs, the two men get along wonderfully on the field in selection. ” Kane andamp; Saka, the new one-two “, title for example proudly The Mirror in its edition of the day, before highlighting ” the perfect combination in the walk of the Euro “. The association between the serial scorer of Tottenham and the new English star of Arsenal is in any case damn promising. In the meantime, Saka only thinks of winning the Premier League at the end of the season. ” I’m really enjoying my football right now, and I just hope the happiness continues towards the end of the season. »
