“He helps me a lot in playing good football”- Kai Havertz reveals Chelsea player is a ‘hero’
Kai Havertz has started the current season as he finished the last, scoring a sublime header against Liverpool in a 1-1 draw at Anfield before the current international break commenced.
However, Kai Havertz revealed which Chelsea players helped him acclimatise to life in west London, citing silky midfielder Mateo Kovacic as one of the senior players that helped him most.
“One of the players that helps me a lot for example was Kova. I had from day one a very good relationship with him”, Havertz told the club’s media.
“He’s a different character of playing football. But I think we share the same understanding of football.
“Before the game, a very calm person and for me this is good sometimes to be next to somebody that is very calm.”
Havertz continued to praise the Croatian international, saying: “He is like a hero because he always wants the ball. Even when maybe we concede a goal he is always the first one to take the ball and in doing that he gives us a lot of confidence.
“He is very young and won three Champions League titles. He is a player that likes a lot of movement, is quick on the ball. It’s good for a team like us. It’s good to have someone like him at Chelsea.”
