I Want To Score Goals For Tottenham – Werner

Timo Werner has come out to urge Tottenham fans to lower their goalscoring expectations. He recently revealed this as he spoke about his new role at the club, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he sees himself bringing a lot of assists playing from the left at Spurs, rather than goals, because the manager wants him to be the player who exploits space for the striker.

Werner added that he would definitely like to score goals for Tottenham, but that is not a major part of his game anymore.

His words, “There was always criticism of my game [at Chelsea]. In the beginning, I also started like I did [at Old Trafford], from the left side. I think a lot of people wanted to see me scoring more goals, but at Spurs, with the tactics we have and the way the manager wants me to play, I can bring a lot to the group with my assists and maybe [by] not being the main man who scores — to make deep runs to create space for the others and, like yesterday, to create an assist.

Maybe sometimes it’s not about the fans or the manager. Sometimes it’s about you. You look at your stats and think: ‘I wanted to score more goals’. I think now I’m a bit older, I see how important assists and deep runs are for the team. I also want to score goals, but it’s not the main part of my game anymore. I can bring so much more, especially in this kind of tactic, for the group.”

WOW.
