Zola believes Werner should be an alternative in wide areas, along with Callum Hudson-Odoi, saying the 24-year-old is not cut out to be a central striker when used by himself.
“So if you want to play Werner, maybe it’s right to play him in the wide areas. Also, I think it’s down to Timo to work and also be effective when the spaces in front of him are less and work as a team. “This could be a strength for Chelsea because if you’ve got many players with the ability you have to understand very well the abilities of the players and use them differently in the games, because not every game is the same.”
“The expectations are very high and the demands from the club are to get results and to get trophies. “I understand exactly the situation Frank is going through. Sometimes it’s about trust and believing a coach can do well, can face the circumstances, and get the best out of it – I think that is the point, really. There’s still a lot to play this season.”
