“If you keep comparing Werner to Van Persie, I’m leaving.”

Timo Werner had one of the best matches that he is remembered for with Chelsea, although it did not serve his team to achieve the goal of qualifying as first in the group for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

If they were close it was, in large part, thanks to the performance of the German. Werner scored the first goal, assisted Lukaku for the second and scored what seemed like the third and final goal in the 85th minute to make it 2-3. Chelsea’s ’round’ night in Russia was twisted with Ozdoev’s goal in 94 that closed the score with 3-3.

His outstanding performance was not enough for Chelsea and he also found a detractor in Rafa Van der Vaart. The retired Dutchman is a commentator on his country’s network Ziggo Sport and jumped when his teammates consistently compared Timo Werner to his former Oranje teammate Robin Van Persie.

“If you compare Van Persie to Werner one more time, I’ll go now.” threatened the former midfielder of Real Madrid, Betis and Hamburg among others.

A good performance in his few days as a starter

The German striker, who stood out so much in the ranks of RB Leizpig, continues to go through a difficult stage at Chelsea. As we approach the middle of the season, the forward does not reach the 800 minutes played in 13 games in which he has scored five goals and has distributed another three. Various information from England suggest that he could be one of the players who will leave the squad. Among the clubs with which he was related was Barcelona, ​​who would also be interested in his partner Hakim Ziyech.
