“I was told about the interview“ – Tuchel finally reveals what to do after Timo Werner says he plays better in Germany than Chelsea
Since joining Chelsea Timo Werner has struggled for form. The German was a top star in the German Bundesliga, but he hasn’t been able to bring that form to the Premier League.
However, After scoring on international duty with Germany, Werner admitted he prefers playing for Germany than Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has admitted he didn’t bother watching the interview and will take no action against his countryman.
Tuchel said: “Some of my staff told me about the interview. I did not even look at the interview. They told me they really wanted to have this kind of line because Timo was struggling to find a good answer to the question. With all due respect, maybe it also depends a little bit on the opponents if you score or don’t score.”
Having scored for Germany against Israel, Werner’s last goal for Chelsea was against Luton, and Tuchel hinted it was easier to score against weaker sides.
He added: “No, I’m saying that many leagues and the Premier League are a bit better than the teams they played against in the last weeks. “
“So it is natural that you struggle a bit more. In general, I don’t take these things too personally. I never read them, and I never listen to them. I don’t care too much about these things otherwise, you have a headache all the time.”
Tuchel gave Werner a starting berth against Brentford.
