Why Timo Werner Isn’t Playing Well For Chelsea – Ballack

Former Chelsea midfielder, Michael Ballack has said that Timo Werner is yet to adapt to the club’s style of play which is why he hasn’t been scoring goals.
Werner joined Chelsea in the summer transfer window from German Bundesliga side Leipzig.

However, the German has failed to find the back of the net in the last 14 Premier League games.
“Timo started off pretty well,” Ballack told Omnisport.

“Of course, if you are not scoring as a striker, then it is hard on your self-confidence.

“I believe that it’s very hard for him. Overall, as he was used to playing differently at Leipzig, he had a lot more space in front of him.
“Chelsea is the kind of team that has a lot of ball possession, wanting to dominate the opponent. Maybe even more so with [Thomas] Tuchel.

“Maybe he has to work on his playing style a little bit or try to get himself into better positions.

“As a striker, you are depending on your fellow players to find you, and if the [goal drought] breaks, then he will be able to find his old form.

“He used to have good phases with the national team, using his physical presence and power to break down on the wing.

“So when the [drought] breaks, then things will go better again.”
