Chelsea manager reacts to Timo Werner’s performance vs Man Utd

Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel in a post-match statement, has reacted to Timo Werner’s performance vs Man Utd on Sunday.

The German coach applauded Werner as he stressed that the striker looked sharp during the trainings and during the game vs Juventus in the UCL, where he scored a goal.

Tuchel, however, stressed that the Match vs Man Utd was not na easy one for the German striker.

“I think that we still see he hasn’t played for a long time so can we expect that he is on the absolute peak? No, we cannot. It’s what we expect at this moment.

“He looked very sharp in training scored many goals in the last two training sessions that’s why I went for my gut and put him on the pitch and hoped that he can hurt the two central defenders.

“It was a decision for Timo because he looked really sharp and had the goal against Juventus and we thought he could be the decisive threat in the middle. it is not easy for him today and you can see he lacks some games and from here we go.
