Timo Werner

It is so fun to play in front of the Chelsea fans.

You have to keep smiling, that's the most important thing because when you are not happy and you don't enjoy football, and you are always angry or mad, you can't go back to moments where you can play good football.

I think that's one of my strengths, to be flexible up front and to play every position.

It's always good when you have some players that can play different positions, who can change in the game.

I've become more robust myself because I have to deal with so many robust opponents.

In England people play a lot of long balls, it's a bit different style of play than here in the national team.

I think it's hard when you play every three days.

It does matter how much you cost. It's always a bit of pressure when you come to a new club.

A lot of good strikers come to the Premier League and take one year to settle down and adapt.

You can always learn more from the bad situations. I learned to trust in myself, to give everything on the pitch, not only think about goals and fight for the team.

I need types of managers who scream at me. It gives me more power.

I want to score, it's in my nature, I am a striker.

Of course as a child you don't see much of the Premier League clubs but you see the teams at the Champions League.

Everyone says there's a lot of strength, a lot of big guys in defence, the Premier League is very fast and there's a lot of high intensity. So, I came here and thought it would fit me very well, but now I know it is much more than just what people say.

At home when you are the normal Timo or Kai, you are not the superstar or the footballer, you can put the football away, put the stress away and talk about normal things.

In school, in lessons, I did nothing! I never held my hand up or say anything.

I'll try to score as much goals as I can for Chelsea, that is the big reason why they bought me, to bring the goals I scored in Leipzig here, and maybe score more goals than there.

Chelsea is a top destination in European football.

I think it is really important for everybody to have people who can speak your language.

When I get the strength of English football, it will be much better for me as I will have more possibilities and options in my game to do different things.

That I'm fast is a really good thing for me because it gives me a lot of opportunities in the game where I can score goals, where I can create chances for the team and other players.

If I scored 10 goals I got 10 euros, which meant a lot of candy! It was a little bit like for kids that you could get candy for every goal. Not much money, but a very small amount. It was a joke from my dad that I have a feeling that I love scoring goals and success after that.

I had so many disappointing moments when I normally can score. I know what I can do, because I did it in the past, maybe 100 times. I think it was a lot also on me, a lot on my head to get the things clear in front of goal.

The more famous footballers get involved, the more awareness we can raise for Common Goal. And if just one fan donates 10 euros because Timo Werner is involved, then that's great.

There are certain issues that particularly move me and I am also interested in supporting and kicking off projects in Stuttgart and Leipzig.

If LFC call, you have to listen and think about it.

When Alex Ferguson was the coach, United won everything and were outstanding.

Manchester United and Liverpool were the teams I watched quite a lot in England. They were the two that I'm a little bit a fan of because they have so much history.

Yes, playing in the Premier League is a dream for me. I would like to play for two or three clubs, and Manchester United are one of those clubs.

As a striker, I especially need to be trusted externally.

If a coach likes you and relies on you, it helps every player.

The Champions League final is the biggest game in club football.

The Champions League is something special.

At Leipzig, I was also a bit spoiled in this regard, as I never had to miss a game when I was physically able to play.

I think every team that plays in the Champions League or the Europa League play on Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, and it's difficult.

At the beginning always when you come to a new country, a new league, to come to a different style of football it's always something different.

I really enjoy playing football, no matter where I'm playing.

Every footballer wishes to be called up for the national team.

I feel very privileged that I can live my dream of transferring to Chelsea.

At Leipzig, I was a striker, a No 10, playing on the flanks.

I don't have to be the fastest one - as long I'm too quick for the defenders.

Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi are very quick.

Teams use long balls more often in England but obviously you get stronger when you're playing against strong opponents.

People who have followed me a little bit in the Premier League know I can bring my speed, that I can be a threat for opponents.

Things happen relatively quickly in football.

Of course, I want to be a regular in a big team.

Of course, I can't be satisfied if I don't play.

A career always goes up and down, never steadily upwards. But you learn to deal with it.

You always have to be at 100 per cent, always at the top level and that's something special in the Premier League.

There's a lot more work in the Premier League. You have to a lot more defensive work as a team than, for example, in the Bundesliga.
