Olivier Giroud has said that Chelsea star Timo Werner is a force to be reckoned with when playing alongside Mason Mount, along with fellow German Kai Havertz.
Here is what he said about it:
“I think Timo is a great striker and he played a huge role in our success last year. The problem is people look too much at the stats when you’re a striker, and if you don’t score enough. goals they always will. Comment on your game and stuff like that. “
He added:
“I know he didn’t score as many goals but, in the Tuchel philosophy, he was huge, so important. He runs all day and he really, really completed Kai Havertz and Mason Mount.
Giroud spent three and a half years at Chelsea before leaving for the Italian club this summer.
He gave an insight into what it’s like to play with some of Chelsea’s stars, which implies that deciding on a playing XI is going to be a tough task for Thomas Tuchel.
Lukaku, Werner and Mount can do wonders for Chelsea but Thomas Tuchel is still working on combinations
There is no doubt that Romelu Lukaku will start for the Blues if he is in good shape. Although he didn’t score as many goals as he would have hoped, Werner’s movement out of the ball was absolutely magical.
It has given players like Mount and Havertz access to better scoring positions. The German managed to accomplish this by driving defenders away due to his movement and agility.
On the flip side, it’s safe to say that Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi also want to start in the forward positions.
Mason Mount and Timo Werner squeezed machines for Chelsea in the last third of the pitch.
The German striker was an integral part of the squad that beat Manchester City to win the Champions League.
Unfortunately, he has often seemed devoid of creativity and is not the most gifted finisher. However, it can be assumed that he will play a decisive role in Chelsea’s defense in the Champions League this year.
Timo Werner has also been linked with a move away from Chelsea. Newcastle United are believed to be the favorites to sign the German star.
