Timo Werner has admitted he fell out of love with football during his second season at Chelsea as he aimed a dig at Thomas Tuchel's tactics.
The 26-year-old recently re-joined RB Leipzig on a four-year contract for a reported fee of £25.3million - two years after making the switch to Chelsea for almost double that price. Werner impressed in his maiden campaign at the Blues scoring 12 goals and chipping in with 15 assists in 52 appearances.
Frank Lampard mainly operated Werner on the left of a front three alongside Tammy Abraham and Hakim Ziyech, and it was a system that got the best out of the German international. Tuchel, who replaced Lampard in January 2021, played a slightly different formation and it caused Chelsea to be less reliant on pace, with Mason Mount often starting on the left and dropping inside to make the Blues better off the ball.
