Chelsea forward Timo Werner explains his new position under Thomas Tuchel and how it contributed to the match winning display against the Blades on Sunday.
Werner has improved so well under fellow compatriot as he created both goals in the 2-1 victory for the Blues in the Premier league against Sheffield United.

The German stated after the game that a change to his position in the team since Tuchel took over as the manager as he is playing more centrally and closer to his fellow forwards, is helping him find and utilize space on the pitch to attack defences.
“Every manager is different in how he wants us to play,” said Werner. “He gives us a lot of ideas. Now I play as a left number 10, not a left winger, so I have more space for my runs in the middle and can play behind a striker, or with a number 10 behind me as a second striker. So it’s very good for me and I think there were also good moves from the manager in the last two wins.”
Werner spoke on how difficult the game was because of the high defending of the blades, he feels disappointed not getting on the scoresheet but also happy he can help the team to get a win.
“Overall I think it’s a good win for us. It was very difficult, the whole game, against a very good high-defending Sheffield United and we are very proud that we win, continuing on from our last wins. For myself, again no goal, but it’s good to see that I can help the team with other things at the moment and I’ll keep going.
“I’m happy when we win and when I can make two assists like today that is also good, but as a striker you want to score. It’s a long time now for me, I haven’t had so long a period without a goal in my career before, but you can’t do anything against this. You have to keep going and try to do your best on the field and the goals will come.”
