Make I gist you about Kepa Arrizabalaga, di man wey dey shine for Arsenal right now, but him gats carry some baggages wey dey follow am like shadows. E don spend too long for sidelines, but dis Carabao Cup fit be him chance to prove say him still get wetin e dey offer.
You sabi 2019? Dat year na wahala year for Kepa as him refuse to come off for pitch during final wey Chelsea play against Man City. Di match sweet like sugar, but na penalty dem end am and Kepa no fit deliver. Fast forward to today, him don land for Arsenal and na im don dey shine again.
Kepa don dey play backup to David Raya, but e no let am weigh him down. E dey take im training seriously, dey hustle hard to match Raya level. As he don show for cup matches, dem fit say him don prove say e no be ordinary keeper.
For dis upcoming semi-final second leg against Chelsea, Kepa dey ready to show dem wetin him dey made of. E get bad memories for dis Carabao Cup, but now na im chance to rewrite history. If Kepa fit perform well, e fit push Arsenal one step closer to trophy wey dem dey suffer to get since six years ago.
Arsenal gaffer, Mikel Arteta, don talk say Kepa fit be di MVP if im persevere. E talk say Kepa and Raya dey build good friendship, dem sabi how to work together, even though one dey shine pass di other. E mean say Kepa no dey drag with him; him just dey push for better performance.
Some fans still dey argue whether Kepa go fit hold his ground or make dem bring Raya back as di number one keeper for di big matches. But as Kepa don prove himself through cup competitions, e go hard to drop am just like dat. E don deliver clean sheets and dey help dem win matches.
Wetin you think, my people? You feel say Kepa fit carry Arsenal enter final, or na better move to bring back Raya? For me, e get chance to bccome di hero wey Arsenal need, but e gatz focus and pave way for dem success wey don dey shine for corner just like swell.
