Tuchel system fits him – Wright-Phillips reveals why Chelsea player will hurt Real Madrid
Ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid, Former Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has spoken highly of Chelsea star Kai Havertz.
However, The 22-year-old German has been in really fine form in recent weeks, which has prompted Thomas Tuchel to keep star striker Romelu Lukaku on the bench.
Wright-Phillips has explained what has made Havertz to really stand out for Chelsea.
Wright-Phillips told GOAL: “Kai has been playing really well for Chelsea. He seems to fit the way Chelsea plays and it suits him a lot.”
“He always finds himself either off the shoulders of defenders or in the pockets between the centre-back and full-back. That’s hard for a defender to mark because it moves people around and creates space for his team-mates.
“He always seems to have defenders caught in two minds. He is fantastic running in behind and on the ball. His all-round game has been fantastic of late. He has just settled in now.”
