Chelsea striker Timo Werner works and runs with the German national team, but in the end there is little that gets around – that was also the case on Saturday evening when the DFB team lost 1-1 in Hungary.
Flick supports Werner: But after his poor performance in the 1-1 draw in the Nations League in Hungary, Timo Werner received the support of Hansi Flick, in that the national coach – when asked about the striker – avoided individual criticism as usual. “I would let it go under the fact that we completely lack conviction in the team,” said Flick.
Short, compact, clear
Werner “polarized”: DFB director Oliver Bierhoff takes the same line and says about Werner in “Bild”: “Of course he is, I know it a bit myself, a player who polarizes a bit, on the one place or another. But he is also someone who makes unbelievable meters for the team.”
Poor shooting record: The German team only managed seven attempts to score, one of them directly on target – there are games where a striker alone has at least this statistic. Not Werner at the moment. After difficult months at Chelsea FC, the hoped-for release for the 26-year-old in the oasis of well-being with the DFB team has so far not materialised. “It’s true that he has a lot of effort and tries to put the opponent under pressure,” said Flick.
