Timo Werner settles accounts with Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea

Back last summer in the club that revealed him at the highest level, RB Leipzig, Timo Werner had a mixed time with Chelsea. If he won the Champions League, the German center forward has sometimes disappointed with the Blues jersey. In an interview with The Sun, the 26-year-old striker returned to his time with the London club. The latter did not fail to criticize his former coach, Thomas Tuchel.

“All of that (his good first season) was kind of forgotten by the manager, it wasn’t really fair. It was also a reason why I had to return to Leipzig, to rediscover the pleasure. In the end, a manager likes some players more than others – it’s completely normal and you have to accept it. (…) The biggest problem is that he put a striker like Lukaku ahead of me in the second season after I won the Champions League playing almost every game in the first team. Maybe that was also a reason why I had my ups and downs. (…) The manager who brought me in, Lampard, was sacked a few months later, which was not the best for a player who joined the club after talking to this manager. (…) From the outside, it was easy to make me look like a scapegoat, whether from the media or the coaches, whatever. »
