Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea’s manager, has addressed why Kai Havertz is starting more games than Romelu Lukaku.
Tuchel believes the German forward provides special talents to the team.
Havertz has started four of Chelsea’s previous five games, while Lukaku has started just two.
Havertz scored twice in a 4-0 win over Burnley last Saturday, while Lukaku did not come off the bench.
“Of course [it’s difficult to leave Havertz out],” Tuchel stated. He gives a lot of effort and is actively involved in goal scoring.
“We played the last cup games without him, and Timo Werner was in great shape and was on the verge of starting.” Romelu has scored, and we will need everyone’s help. But [Havertz] is in fantastic shape right now.
“He covers a lot of ground at a high rate, so he finds the intensity no matter what method the opponent uses to defend against us; he finds intensive runs, he finds distances.”
“He enjoys creating overabundances and half-spaces, and this is what he delivers.” It’s just his playing style, his personality as a player. He’s in fantastic form and is self-assured.”
