The Fable of Moritz Voltz
800 comments March 6th, 2006
Former Arsenal full-back Moritz Volz was torn apart on Saturday, as we grabbed four goals from our once unstoppable left-hand-side, which had been rejuvenated by a stunning performance from Fredrik Ljungberg.
First Abou Diaby, starting with Cesc Fabregas given a rest on the bench, played in Thierry Henry. One touch knocked the ball past Volz, and a second blasted it left-footed into the near top corner. A fantastic goal.
Then Ljungberg set off on one of many foraging runs, allowing Adebayor space to creep in behind poor Volzy and clip home our second.
Things didn’t get any better for Volzy in the second half. He started it off by fighting with his own team-mate, Zat Knight, and before long had been beaten again for Henry to grab a second.
His misery was far from complete. A now near-tearful Volz was beaten for pace by the hardly lightning-quick Mathieu Flamini, who cut-back for sub Cesc to make it four.
An excellent performance ahead of Madrid on Wednesday.
The moral of the story?
Don’t leave Arsenal.
