Chelsea's German striker Timo Werner took a swipe at former boss Thomas Tuchel in an interview with German media outlet Sport1. Werner said that Tuchel made him "a little bit stupid" and that he now regrets his time at the club.

"Timo Werner felt harshly treated during his time at Chelsea"



"The 26-year-old is now back at RB Leipzig, the club Chelsea bought him from before an underwhelming two seasons with the Blues."



"It was not a complete disaster as the German scored 23 goals in a Chelsea shirt and won the Champions League during his stint in west London, but he never lived up to the hype after impressing in the Bundesliga."



"He feels that things were going well for him and when Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as manager he was not valued by his countryman, which made things difficult."



"‘I had a very good first six months at Chelsea, which was what the supporters and club expected of me,’ Werner told The Sun, in quite a generous remembering of that time."



"‘When you come from the kind of success I had in Germany or with Chelsea — playing nearly every game in the first season, winning the Champions League in 2021, scoring in the semi-final against Real Madrid, making a lot of goals.

‘Then all this gets a little bit forgotten by the manager, it was not really fair. In the end a manager likes some players more than others — it’s completely normal and you have to accept that."
