The German marksman has highlighted the influence of the new manager after finally putting an end to his extended goal drought.
Timo Werner was on target in Chelsea’s Premier League outing against Newcastle United, scoring the second goal in the 2-0 win.
Werner, who also set Olivier Giroud for the opener, found the net late in the first half to score his first league goal in four months.
The Blues €50 million summer signing had gone 14 games without a league goal since netting in the 4-1 win over Sheffield United back in November. Also, he had scored only once in his previous 19 games in all competitions.
Speaking after the match, the former Leipzig man suggested he is gradually getting back to his best form under Thomas Tuchel.
“It’s helped me that someone can scream at me in German! [Tuchel’s] a really good guy, has a good idea of the football we want to play and, when we have more and more training sessions with him, we will get better and better,” Werner told BBC Sport.
“A few weeks ago we were somewhere and nowhere and we were a lot of points behind fourth place. We want to keep going. [We’re] only four points to second place and lots have said we won’t reach the top four at the end of the season, but here we are.
“We have a good shape, we’re back on track.”
