In the match against Lille, instead of using Lukaku or Werner in attack, coach Thomas Tuchel chose Havertz and this player partly met the expectations of the German teacher.

Meeting Lille in the round of 1/8 of the Champion League, it seemed that coach Thomas Tuchel would unleash his best attacking firepower on the field in a match that needed a goal, but the German strategist stunned everyone.
The reason the Chelsea captain did so was because he could not use a Lukaku who played poorly against Crystal Palace last Saturday, when he only touched the ball 7 times.
This causes Lille’s defense to encounter big problems.
Tuchel wants to protect his students?
In fact, the 48-year-old coach’s move somewhere helped fans understand that he wanted to protect Lukaku from criticism after his forgettable performance in the previous match.
Timo Werner is also a similar case.
Chelsea’s captain used the trio of Pulisic, Havertz and Ziyech in attack.
On the day he was assigned to play in place of Lukaku, Kai Havertz took advantage of the opportunity to score points.
The former Leverkusen star still shows that he is the ‘king of space occupation’ when appearing in favorable positions, taking advantage of the space between the opponent’s defensive positions.
Kai Havertz is winning the trust of his German teacher
Besides, unlike Lukaku who was helpless against Crystal Palace because he was too hungry for the ball, Havertz knows how to create opportunities for himself through his ability to move intelligently.
After scoring goals and bringing home the Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup titles for Chelsea, the German striker is gradually proving that he can be the leader of the Blues’ attack.
