Chelsea’s new striker, Timo Werner is wowed by the fact that he is now at the club being managed by legend, Frank Lampard. He opens up on his admiration for Chelsea and Manchester United. As he grew up to become a footballer, he followed these two big clubs in England.
The German Striker also reveals that he has idolized “young Cristiano Ronaldo” and Chelsea club legend, Didier Drogba. On his move to Chelsea, he speaks of creating his own legacy in the Premier League history.
He was hugely inspired by Chelsea legends like Lampard himself along with Ashley Cole, Petr Cech with whom he is now working.
He told the club’s official website: “For me, it is a little bit of a dream come true to come and play now in the biggest league in the whole world. Of course as a child, you don’t see much of the Premier League clubs but you see the teams at the Champions League.
“You see the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United. These were the clubs that in youth were winning a lot. You see maybe young Ronaldo, or here at Chelsea Didier Drogba and also Frank Lampard the manager. They have a lot of legends in the club here.
“When you come into the club they are working for the club and when you see them as a child, like 10, and then you see, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Petr Cech, you say wow it’s crazy I am here with them now.”
With his undoubted ability and determination to succeed in the Premier League, he can emulate the efforts of his heroes he followed since childhood. Until now, he was enjoyed his new career in west London. He made a switch from the German club, RB Leipzig in this summer transfer window and now forms the part of Lampard’s team to challenge the rivals.
Although he hasn’t yet completely adapted to the new league, gradually he will get comfortable as per him. Werner has thoroughly enjoyed his time in the new league and is looking forward to seeing the fans in the stadium cheering for him sooner rather than later.
