Coach Bruce Arena raves about Werner. Were the qualities he still has misunderstood in Leipzig?
The difference between the leagues is huge. If Timo Werner is physically ready and mentally committed, he has to be a top player in the MLS.
How well can you concentrate on football in San José?
There is no shortage of distractions. There are a lot of nice things to look forward to outside of work. And you can still concentrate on football – playing in the sun every day is really fun. Timo Werner has chosen a beautiful place.
A tournament like this should actually spark anticipation, but unfortunately there are a lot of worries and question marks around the USA at the moment.
Florian Jungwirth about the 2026 World Cup
Is there a risk of relaxing too much in this atmosphere?
Playing in a place where I feel completely comfortable has always enabled me to perform at my best. Ultimately, every player has it in their own hands with their attitude towards the job. You can also in Bochum or Aue lose tension. If I play PlayStation all day and drink five beers in the evening, I won’t be in top shape the next day.
In the summer, the World Cup will take place in the USA, among other places. Given the current situation, is the country a suitable venue?
A tournament like this should actually spark anticipation, but unfortunately there are a lot of worries and question marks around the USA at the moment. But when I look through my Canadian glasses, I definitely see anticipation. It will be an incredible experience for everyone.
