Kai Havertz from Chelsea has spoken on the Blues homepage about his winning goal in the Champions League final against Manchester City. Meanwhile his thoughts would have gone crazy.
Havertz had circled city keeper Ederson when he scored in the 42nd minute and then pushed the ball into the empty goal. That moment seemed like forever.
He was “100 percent” nervous, admitted the 22-year-old: “These moments are always the worst because you think about the fact that you end up on YouTube, Instagram and in every meme if you shoot.” He just thought: “Please, I have to score now.” That also worked – “and then these are the most beautiful moments in football”.
In addition, the international spoke about the statements by blues coach Thomas Tuchel that he had made a big step. “When you succeed and score an important goal it gives you confidence, of course, but I think it’s not just about confidence,” said the offensive player.
For him, “confidence is the most important thing in football, and when you have that, you’re very strong and better. So it was a combination of confidence and the feeling of being more at home.”
Tuchel criticized Havertz: “Want to see more of him”
Tuchel makes great demands. “He always expects a lot from you when you are in the starting XI, even if you are substituted on, so you always have to show yourself and the coach what you can do and that you are ready to play,” said Havertz.
The former Leverkusen man still has a lot to learn. Havertz said he had “many years to go”: “Sometimes I want to know when I’m not doing something well. That’s why it’s good for me to have a coach who helps me in situations like this and who always helps me too want to improve. That’s very nice for me. “
However, Tuchel Havertz had recently criticized. “Yeah, I’m not afraid to say it: we expected to see more of him in the games – but at the same time it’s important that I feel that the whole team might be a little stuck with expectations” said the former BVB coach at a press conference and said: “We absolutely want to see more of Kai, what he can deliver, he is of course full of talent. Nobody is angry with him – but if you play for Chelsea, we want that Getting the best out of you. “
In the current season Havertz has two scorer points after nine competitive games. In addition, like in the national team, he is not an undisputed regular player.
