Timo Werner, at last, confessed that appointing Thomas Tuchel as the Chelsea head coach has finally helped him to settle in at Stamford bridge. He also said that the goal drought has made him understand the game of football played in England.
The £47.5 million deal was one of the hottest transfer news in the summer. But unfortunately was not followed by what was expected out of him.
To be fair he started his life at Chelsea on a positive note scoring eight goals in his 11 appearances. But his form gradually faded following the Christmas period.
One of the prolific goal-scoring talent in European football quickly became a scapegoat at Stamford Bridge. Frank Lampard his then-boss was sacked and the new German coach Thomas Tuchel has given in a breath of fresh air for the german strike
Thomas Tuchel upon his arrival was vocal about the new German talents at the club- Timo Werner and Kai Havertz and promised a revitalize the german internationals.
It has made an instant impact as Timo Werner featured in a decisive penalty and in the consecutive game netted again to end his 15 game goal drought.
A rejuvenated Timo Werner has been instrumental in giving Thomas Tuchel an edge over his fixtures and we hope this continues.
“Even though I work a lot on my English, I couldn’t always express myself the way I wanted and had to be careful not to be misunderstood. That’s naturally now no longer a problem, so you almost feel a bit more at home. In the beginning, I had this self-image that I can go on doing my thing here, but the last few months I have had brought me down to earth. It’s the way in England that you never have a quiet game”
Werner told German magazine Kicker.
