A Completely Different Player

He's a different player than Chelsea.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou said

BBC reported on the 14th that Postecoglou is a completely different player from Chelsea regarding Timo Werner.

Werner was a Bundesliga striker with Robert Lewandowski in Leipzig four years ago. He was a line breaker with outstanding ability to utilize space and penetrate the second line.

Werner, who had a reputation, entered Chelsea in 2020 for a fee of £47.5 million, but failed. He has excellent space utilization skills, but his goal determination and ball touch were the problems. He was helpless as a striker in a pressure situation where there was no space.

He only scored 10 goals in 56 games. Eventually, he returned to his old soccer team Leipzig two years later. 스포츠토토

However, Tottenham bought Werner in a surprise move. It is a short six-month loan, but it is possible to transfer completely depending on the performance.

Postecoglou told the BBC that "Timo Werner is another player who struggled for Chelsea. What happened in the past has nothing to do with it. I am looking at what he can do to us today, not three or four years ago," adding, "I would say he is a different player, definitely a different person. We all evolve. He would have matured at different stages of his life."

"When we talk about players who have been recruited, we see how they can play in the system that we have established," he said. "With Son away for a long time, I felt that we need a different style of player at the forefront. Timo (Werner) knows that something can change from the current situation."

One of Werner's strong strengths is his speed and forward pass capability. He has pass capability that ranks among the top 5 percent of strikers in the European five major leagues.

Tottenham deploys very fast players on the left and right sides, disrupting the opponent's defense. If Brennan Johnson and Werner are deployed at the same time, the defense will naturally be confused. Local media in the UK are based on Werner's success in Tottenham.
