Timo Werner 28, Tottenham Hotspur, the “worst goal scorer,” was criticized for not having a place at Tottenham. This assessment does not help Werner, who wants to move to Tottenham permanently after this season.
Jay Bosloid 41, who played for Wolverhampton and Cardiff City in the past, was blindsided by Werner’s performance at the match against Newcastle on Thursday. He thought it was the worst.
In a match against Newcastle in the English Premier League EPL in the 2023-2024 season, Werner played 90 minutes and although he was a winger who needed to lead Tottenham’s attack, he only touched 44 times. The success rate of dribbling was not high at 33 percent. He attempted only one cross, but even this failed to lead to success. He also showed no defensive action. He shot four times. However, it did not lead to a goal. He displayed his worst goal-getting ability. He has no goal in five consecutive league games
“I have no choice but to criticize Werner. He has missed so many good opportunities. Technically, he is one of the worst players in the EPL,” Bosloid said. “He kicks the ball too hard all the time. It’s not a good finish. Also, he doesn’t seem to prefer passes.”
He did not give a positive outlook on Werner’s future. “As we get older, our athletic ability declines, and how effective will Werner become?” he said sarcastically.
In addition, he added, “If Hishalisson who is recovering from his injury returns, Son will come back to the left side. Then Werner left winger will not get a chance. The picture without Werner suits Tottenham.”
He is Werner who dreams of permanently transferring to Tottenham. Bosloid’s harsh criticism does not help Werner at all.
Tottenham signed Werner on loan from RB Leipzig Germany on January 10. The contract term ends this season and includes a full transfer option £15 million, KRW25.4 billion.
Werner has a strong desire to activate the option of a full transfer. On the 22nd of last month, Give Me Sports of the U.K. said, “Werner wants to stay at Tottenham because he is used to the new environment.”
However, attention is being paid to whether Tottenham will have Werner even though they know the “disadvantage of lack of goal determination.”
Werner scored a goal not only in this match against Newcastle but also in an away match against Fulham in the 29th round of the EPL on April 17. He failed to prevent his team from losing without a goal. Tottenham lost 0-3.
Werner couldn’t score even though the net was empty at the 23rd minute of the second half. Brennan Johnson’s cross from the right side passed Fulham’s defense and goalkeeper. With the net empty. Werner faced a critical goal chance but failed to properly put the ball on his left foot. The ball went to the left side of the net.
Football London, a British media outlet, said, “Berner missed a big chance. He kicked Johnson’s pass far away when he arrived in front of the goal. He was committed, but it was a terrible shot.”
Werner is an experienced player in EPL. However, he is not serving as an advantage. Unfortunately, he has yet to erase his evaluation of goal-scoring ability.
In the past, Werner played for Chelsea but was unsuccessful.
Chelsea has caught the eye of Chelsea, as it played an active role in Leipzig from 2016 to 2020. It successfully transferred to the club. Chelsea F.C. offered him 45 million pounds 75.3 billion won in the summer of 2020.
However, Werner only showed below-expectations as time passed. He immediately secured the starting position, but his decision-making ability and numerous offside fouls caused him to sigh. Although he lifted the Champions League trophy with Chelsea, his impact was not significant.
In the second year of Chelsea, there was no improvement. In the 2021-2022 season, Werner was forced to sit on the bench with only four goals and one assist in the league. Eventually, he returned to Leipzig in the summer of 2022, leaving a disappointing 23 goals in 89 matches at the official match. The transfer fee was reduced to 30 million euros in just two years.
Werner has not displayed his previous performance in his old team. In the 2022-2023 season, he had nine goals and three assists in 27 league games, but his performance in the 2023-2024 season saw his performance drop significantly. Until December last year, he played 14 games with only two goals. In the end, he was reduced to a backup.
In the meantime, Werner has also moved away from the German national team. Although he played 57 matches for the national team, he has no record since the match against Belgium in March last year. In order to play at Euro 2024 in Germany in June, he desperately needs to secure time to play.
Tottenham, who were looking for a striker with various experiences at the right price, approached Werner and made a loan transfer in January as each other’s needs matched. However, until recently, it was perceived that Tottenham was still unclear whether they would use the “permanent recruitment” card.
The £15m full recruitment option should be activated before Euro 2024 opens in June, it has been reported.
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min hopes Werner’s permanent transfer.
The Evening Standard said, “Son Heung-min wants the club to permanently recruit Werner, who has a positive impact on Tottenham.”
Son Heung-min said, “The important thing in the way we approach the game is the position of the wingers, and Werner and Brennan Johnson understand each other well and are doing a great job.”
“When Werner first came to Tottenham, he was not confident, but now he is playing comfortably with confidence,” he said.
Son Heung-min also said, “Berner was a player who won the Bundesliga Golden Boot the top scorer,” adding, “I expect Tottenham to score and help a lot in the future.”
Finally, he strongly said, “We have to wait and see what will happen at the end of the season, but I hope Werner stays at Tottenham.” 토토사이트 순위
And Tottenham chairman Levy is also positive about Werner’s recruitment. The Bootroom explained on the 12th that it believes it is not a risk-detectable recruitment.
