Hansi Flick actually plans firmly with Timo Werner as a World Cup striker number 1. But the Chelsea attacker is currently his biggest worry child.
Timo Werner is back in the wellness oasis. He laughs much in the training of the German football national team, on Thursday he and Chelsea colleague Kai Hanctz casually played the balls. And right at the first unit he chatted on Tuesday stimulated with Hansi Flick.
The national coach keeps big pieces on Werner and plan with a view of the World Cup in Qatar actually firmly with him as a striker number 1. However, eight months before the start of the tournament is the 26-year-old Flicks's largest worry child. His only premier league goal this season is almost half a year back, Chelsea Team Manager Thomas Tuchel sets the center on the variable Champions League Heroes HAVERTZ.
So very flick is happy for the former Leverkusen, so very worried Werner's deep. At the end of February he met him in London to talk. His clear message: "You have to be Topfit!" Only then Werner could start his dreaded depth runs like once in Leipzig. "These are your qualities that you have to show over 90 minutes again," said Flick said loud picture.
But with the fitness it's such a thing at Werner. At the end of 2021 he missed four league games because of a corona disease, with whose consequences he had to fight for some time. Flick inquired distressed by Tuchel, and the Chelsea coach also revealed himself publicly concerned about Werner's condition.
Last speculation was speculated on the island, the 53 million euro misunderstanding could be terminated prematurely in summer after two years. Werner is considered a sale candidate with the blues that are to be sold because of the sanctions against still owners Roman Abramowich themselves. At Borussia Dortmund, he is said to count to the salutors on the heritage of Erling Haaland.
Really, he can only advertise in the national jersey for the time being. In the first five games under Flick, he acted partially like a foreign body, but met five times. The national coach presented himself demonstratively behind him, described the criticism of Werner as "not fair" and told him "full support".
Although he also called for a better position game from him, but praised him in the crew "explicit". Werner thanked publicly: "If the coach likes a like and puts on one, it helps every1. I as a striker need twice. I hope I can return that."
But in November, a torrent slowed him. At start to the World Cup year on Saturday against Israel (20:45 o'clock / Sky) and three days there in the Netherlands the opportunity seems favorable to catch again. In Serge Gnabry, Karim Adeyemi and Marco Reus, three offensive forces must be aware of Kevin full-renounced flick.
In addition to Werner, the Wolfsburger Lukas Nmecha is the only true storm tip in the 23er squad. But Flick has long since found a plan b in the event that Werner does not find out quickly enough: in Tuchel he has also inquired how Hvertz beats as a nine.
