They often say that trains only pass once. Let them tell it to Timo Werner, that returns to the Prime Minister after a difficult and bitter period in Chelsea.
Well yes, sometimes life offers us second Chances so that we can offer our best version and leave our mistakes or poor performance behind. And that is precisely what has happened to a Timo Werner who returns to the English competition with the help of Tottenham by Ange Postecoglou.
A BAD MEMORY
36 goals and 13 assists in 45 games. Chelsea’s pulse did not tremble and they disbursed 53 million euros in the forward who had just marked differences with the RB Leipzig in the campaign 2019/20. With these statistics, it is evident that Timo Werner had just had a ‘season’ in Germany and, with barely 24 yearsHe promised to become one of the best scorers in Europe.
But as often happens, the mind can handle the talent and you may end up playing tricks. Whether it was because of the ‘weight’ of the shirt or because it didn’t quite adapt in the competition, there is no doubt that Timo Werner’s performance at Chelsea was far from up to par with what was expected.
23 goals and 21 assists in 89 games, or put another way, in two seasons. Some numbers insufficient for a footballer who came to be the greatest reference in attack. And yes, he raised his ‘orejona’ in the season 20/21, in addition to the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup in the following year, but the German left London with a bad experience in his boots.
SECOND PARTS CAN BE GOOD
Timo Werner returns to the Premier, and to London. But renovated. He has spent these last two years in the team where he shone and presented his candidacy for European football. Last year he signed up 16 goals and distributed six assistssome numbers that bring him closer to his best version.
And comes to a team needy like him, who in the summer had to suffer the loss of his ‘9’ and who still has not managed to ‘replace’ him.
Although it is true that Son Heung Min has acted as a false nine on more than one occasion, and with extraordinary numbers – 12 goals and five assists in 20 games – richarlisonYes, he is a forward, It is not ‘wetting’since he has only scored six goals in the Premier.
However, Postecoglou will have to do without South Korean For just over a month, since he will be contesting the Asia Cup. And although it is not the ideal scenario for the coach, because he needs to look up the table again, it is for Timo Wernerwho has everything in mind to be able to claim and return to the Premier in style.
