Premier League

Kai Havertz couldn’t resist the chance to remind Bernd Leno that he put one past him after scoring in Chelsea’s pre-season victory over Arsenal on Sunday. The Chelsea player scored the opening goal in the first half as he rifled his effort past Leno. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Granit Xhaka pulled Arsenal level in the second half but an error from Hector Bellerin gifted Chelsea the win as his pass fell straight into Tammy Abraham’s path, who finished low past the Arsenal keeper.

Kai Havertz speaks out on Muller’s horror miss against England

EURO 2020

Kai Havertz leaped to the defence of Thomas Muller after the Germany star wasted a golden opportunity to rescue his team in their Euro 2020 last 16 tie against England. Wembley was still in celebratory mode after Raheem Sterling’s 75th minute opener when the Man City player’s wayward pass presented Havertz with the chance to put Muller through on goal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Bayern veteran, England’s torturer during their 4-2 defeat against Germany at the 2010 World Cup, looked certain to score but dragged his shot wide of Pickford’s right-hand post. Muller's error was compounded shortly afterwards when Harry Kane’s header confirmed a landmark win that sent England into the quarter-finals of the tournament. Reacting to Muller’s shocking mi...

Fabregas makes prediction for Chelsea’s Werner & Havertz ahead of next season

Premier League

Former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has predicted that Timo Werner and Kai Havertz will be ‘different players’ for the blues next season. Chelsea activated Werner’s £47.5m buy-out clause at Red Bull Leipzig last summer, before spending more than £70m to sign Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Both players endured mixed first seasons at the club, with Werner only scoring 12 goals in 40 games and Havertz initially flattering to deceive before improving towards the end of the season and scoring the winner in the Champions League final. Werner and Havertz appeared to benefit from Thomas Tuchel’s appointment and Fabregas believes there is more to come from the German duo now that they are settled in west London. He wrote in a...

‘I don’t give a f***!’ – Havertz shuts down reporter’s question after Chelsea’s UCL win

Uncategorized

Kai Havertz dropped two f-bombs during his post-match interview after Chelsea’s Champions League final win, swatting aside a question about his price tag. The German star has endured a difficult campaign at Stamford Bridge since his club-record £89m move and, before Sunday’s final against Manchester City in Porto, had failed to net in the Champions League. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But he picked the perfect time to break his duck, rounding Ederson and rolling the ball into an empty net to seal a 1-0 win for the west blues. Havertz has received huge criticism this season for not living up to his price tag, and when it was brought up yet again after the match he shut down the reporter’s question. Asked during his interview with BT Sport if he had...

Kai Havertz reveals he’s found his ‘perfect position’ at Chelsea

Premier League

Kai Havertz appears to have finally found his feet at Chelsea and he believes he’s found his ‘perfect position’ at the club. The Chelsea attacker has three goals and an assist in his last three Premier League matches, having only scored one goal in 22 previous matches at Stamford Bridge. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Havertz joined the blues from Bayern Leverkusen for £70m last summer but failed to make a sustained impact in the first half of the campaign. The German star has been open over how he’s found his first year in the Premier League tough, but he now feels he is settled and has found his best position as a false nine under Tuchel. ‘To be honest, I don’t know!’ Havertz told the club’s official website when asked his current role. 'I play some...

Thomas Tuchel compares Kai Havertz to Diego Costa

Premier League

Thomas Tuchel has warned critics not to be fooled by the body language of Kai Havertz and expect him to play like former Chelsea striker Diego Costa. The German finally ended his long wait for a second Premier League goal with the opening goal in Saturday's 4-1 win at Crystal Palace, almost six months after his strike against Southampton. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Havertz impressed throughout and assisted Christian Pulisic's goal while he almost scored a Paul Gascoigne-esque wondergoal, but his volley after a chip over Patrick van Aanholt was saved. The Chelsea manager said: "He is simply not that guy that you will fully feel or see enraged. For some, you feel they have to fight with others to get a certain momentum. "He is not a Diego Costa kind...

Tuchel tells Kai Havertz where he must ‘improve’ after Chelsea destroy Palace

Premier League

Thomas Tuchel was happy with Kai Havertz’s display in Chelsea’s 4-1 win over Crystal Palace but admitted the German star should have scored more. Tuchel’s success so far has been built on defensive stability but his team were an irresistible attacking force at times as they thrashed Palace. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Havertz put Chelsea in front with a nice finish, before a blast from Pulisic and Kurt Zouma’s header ensured the blues were in total control at the break. Christian Benteke pulled one back for Crystal Palace just after the hour mark but Pulisic scored a second to complete the rout. ‘Clearly we had many chances today,’ Tuchel told Sky Sports. ‘The guys were hungry and creative. We had a lot of good runs and good movement. ‘We put pr...

Gundogan speaks out on Havertz’s tough debut campaign at Chelsea

Premier League

Manchester City and Germany midfielder Ilkay Gundogan believes Kai Havertz has ‘sensational qualities’ and will go on to make a ‘big statement’ in England after a tough debut campaign with Chelsea. Havertz completed a £62m move from Bayer Leverkusen to Chelsea last summer, making him the second-most expensive player in the club’s history behind Kepa. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But the midfielder has failed to live up to expectations and scored only one goal in the Premier League this term, with both Frank Lampard and Thomas Tuchel struggling to get the best out of him. But, Havertz was named in Germany’s squad for their World Cup qualifying games and he repaid Joachim Low’s faith with his excellent displays in Group J. Havertz assisted Serg...

Tuchel singles out Chelsea star for special praise after Everton win

Premier League

Thomas Tuchel was pleased with the contribution of Kai Havertz in Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Everton on Monday. Tuchel extended his unbeaten run since arriving at Stamford Bridge to 11 matches and Havertz put in one of his best performances at the club. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The German star was heavily involved in the game. His flick from a Marcos Alonso cross deflected off Everton’s Ben Godfrey and straight into the back of the net to open the scoring. In the second half of the game he saw a goal ruled out after he was adjudged to have handballed it in the buildup but he still won a penalty after being felled by Jordan Pickford. Jorginho stepped up to score the penalty to secure three points for the Blues, who tightened their grip on a top-f...
