In round 21 of the Premier League, Chelsea dominated and easily won 2-0 against Burnley. However, it is a pity that despite being given many opportunities, striker Timo Werner was unlucky to put his name on the scoreboard. This was the 12th consecutive Premier League match in which the German striker "failed to score".
Looking at the problem of his student, coach Thomas Tuchel affirmed that Werner now needs to have luck to escape bad luck, instead of words of encouragement.
"There is no conversation, no loving hug or warm encouragement that can help Timo Werner at this time. He probably needs some silly goal, like hitting the opponent or getting lucky to get the ball into the net. anything that leads to a goal at the moment is good," Tuchel affirmed.
The German tactician was pleased with his players' performance against Burnley. Chelsea dominated the visitors without any shots.
Although the victory added confidence, Tuchel could not be completely happy, as the scorers were defenders instead of strikers. Chelsea won thanks to 2 goals from Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso. After scoring, captain Azpilicueta affirmed his ambition to take the Blues further in all competitions.
In addition, Thomas Tuchel also revealed the reason why Hakim Ziyech has not been able to play: "He has shown signs of being overloaded in the past few weeks, so he is at risk of injury if he tries to play. Ziyech needs to rest to limit risks".
The Burnley break will give Hakim Ziyech the best physical condition ahead of next week's clash with Tottenham.
