Michael Ballack’s advice to Timo Werner

DBasia.news – Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack is worried that Timo Werner does not have a bright future at Stamford Bridge if he is constantly unable to score goals.

The German legend thinks that the former RB Leipzig pillar must immediately adapt to English football and end his goal crisis. According to him, Werner must be willing to change his playing style.

In Ballack’s eyes, confidence will be the key for any player, especially strikers, to be able to break the opponent’s goal.

Werner was the mastermind when his team won the winning penalty against Tottenham Hotspur, where Jorginho was later the executor.

“Werner started quite well [against the Spurs]. Of course, if you don’t score as a striker it’s hard to find confidence,” said Ballack.

“I believe it is very difficult for him as a whole because he is used to playing differently in Leipzig. He has a lot of space up front. Chelsea are a team that focuses on possession, wants to dominate the opponent. Maybe even more than that with Tuchel,” he continued. .

“Maybe he should train his playing style a little bit, try to get himself into a better position. Because, as a striker, you depend on your teammates to find you and if the goal crisis ends, he will be able to find his former form again.” he explained.

“He’s used to having a good phase with the national team, using his physique and strength to break the wings. So when his goal crisis is over, things will get better,” said Ballack.

The appointment of compatriot Thomas Tuchel as Chelsea’s new manager has also received the attention of Ballack. The legend fully supports the former PSG and Borussia Dortmund coach to victory in London.

After making his debut with a draw against Wolves, Tuchel won two consecutive wins when Chelsea beat Burnley and London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

“Thomas Tuchel has clear ideas about what he wants and how he wants to play. He has shown at Paris Saint-Germain that he can overcome difficult characters [players],” added Ballack.

“If he wins a number of games, he can get some breathing room and maybe become the coach who will leave his mark there in the long run to shape the era at Chelsea,” he concluded.
