As the season grows by, the challenge grows for the kids in Ashburton Grove. Overcoming the condemning eyes of all, the team has grown from strength to strength. First, winning 2 cups in preseason and then keeping an unbeaten streak while on the way to the top of the table.
Using a comparison to the magical world of Harry Potter, like the kids at Hogwarts, our kids lost their star. What Albus Dumbledore meant and signifies to the school of Hogwarts was what Thierry Henry meant to Arsenal Football Club. With a flick of his wand, Albus always conjures something out of nothing. Similarly, with a flick of his boots, Henry commanded the field with such majestic fare that leaves all in awe. The death of Dumbledore mirrors similarly to the departure of the King at Ashburton. The sense of doom and despair surrounded the Emirates Stadium like a crowd of Dementors camping in Hogwarts.
As the saying goes, for every cloud there is a silver lining. Enter Cesc Fabregas! The Gunner’s answer to Harry Potter. The boy genius is the fulcrum of the new team that Arsenal is building. Fabregas gives hope to his teammates with his leadership and vision on the pitch. Like Harry, he is being pushed into the limelight at a tender age. With his raw talent and charisma, he is leading the team from the center of the park. He grows in confidence with every incisive pass and every goal scored build the growing belief that he is indeed the answer; just like every adventure and experience that Harry survives and increases his magical arsenal.
With 6 goals in our excellent unbeaten start to the season, is Fabregas the finished product to lead us on? Is he the boy wonder like Harry? I can hardly wait to see him bringing us to the title this season! Go Gunners!
