It’s the fault of Thomas Tuchel self Timo Werner had to leave the Chelsea to return to Leipzig. This is what the striker himself suggests in an interview with Sununderlining the choice of the German to prefer him Romelu Lukakutoday atInter: “All of this (his good first season) was kind of forgotten by the coach, it wasn’t really right. It was also a reason why I had to go back to Leipzig, to rediscover pleasure. In the end, a coach likes them some players more than others, it’s completely normal and you have to accept it (…) The biggest problem is that he put a striker like Lukaku in front of me in the second season after I won the Champions League playing almost all my first-team games. it was also one of the reasons why I had my ups and downs (…) The manager who signed me, Lampard, was sacked a few months later, which wasn’t the best for a player to come to the club after talking to him coach (…) From the outside it was easy to pass himself off as a scapegoat”.
