After Werner’s arrival at Stamford Bridge was confirmed, Rudiger claimed to have acted as an agent to convince his compatriot to take the Bundesliga to the Premier League.
“We talked a lot about lockout and once he told me he was interested in coming to England, of course I did what I had to do,” he said.
Germany’s foreigner has now shown that Rudiger has helped him to his next destination, with Chelsea’s ambition to compete for primary titles in all competitions corresponding to his own.
“In fact, it’s vital to have other people who speak your language and helped me a lot in my early days here when I didn’t notice everything if the coach spoke too fast,” Werner told the club’s official website.
“When I didn’t know if I came here and talked to the coach and the club members, it was vital to me. Having a guy who’s part of the team might tell me a little bit about the club, what the people, the squad and the players are like, how does it feel on the team, are we all together?
“He told me it was very smart and fun to play here, which is a very big club that needs to win and can win because it has the amenities for that. In this part, it was important. “
The former Leipzig star said his chimney baptism in Brighton had given him a forged understanding of Premier League football and helped him achieve precisely how Chelsea will have to play to achieve his goals in the 2020-2021 campaign.
“English football is very fast and there are many other styles of football, with five or 3 in the back, like us with 4 in the back,” Werner said.
“There are other systems and other groups are where they play football – many groups are pushing up like Brighton opposed us, but other groups are in their own half.
“At the end of the day, it will depend on us and how we play our football, because we must remain the ball, take other positions, turn, move and create spaces for other players. When we play well, a lot of groups will. “. you have to stay deeper. “
Werner will return to a position on Frank Lampard’s team when the Blues host Premier League champions Liverpool at Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
