German international Kai Havertz was closely linked to Bayern Munich last summer, but ultimately opted to join Chelsea FC.
That decision by Havertz helped drive a wedge between Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick and sporting director Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidzic, who ultimately played a role in Flick leaving the club to coach Germany.
Now the 56-year-old coach of the German national team will finally have a chance to coach Havertz, who looks like he could be ready for a great season.
“I think he has the potential to be one of the best players on the planet, I think he has the ability to be mentioned as the other great players in a few years,” said former Chelsea and Everton player Pat Nevin. in an exclusive interview with the British Gambler, which was made available to Bavarian Football Works. “A lot of people could say they saw him coming when it happens, but it’s hard to see other players capable of doing what he can do in the next few years. Havertz, as a technical player, will be among the best in the world. He has been adapting the system in the preseason so far in an unusual way, you can see that he wants two forwards on the field.
As for the man responsible for deploying Havertz in such a way that he can succeed, Nevin hopes that Thomas Tuchel is looking forward to continued success for the German coach.
“It is a big difference in the system and he has been adapting the staff at all times, there have been times when one of the centrals is placed in the midfield. If you had a full preseason with the whole team, you might get some amazing ideas that seem really complex. He’s had a period of time to get to know the players, I have a suspicion that he didn’t know a lot of the players who played Bournemouth, ”Nevin said. “He has to find out about the entire squad, and he will begin to take on certain players as a project and will seek to improve them. Tuchel is taking each player and making them a little better, he has done it with (N’Golo) Kante, (Christian) Pulisic and Havertz so far. There are players in the preseason that I can see that Tuchel has been impressed and these are players who are a long way off the scene so it will be interesting to see who plays. It is really difficult to know what he is going to do, but it will be exciting and I think the players love working for him.
Tuchel will no longer be able to afford to be new to the role and after winning the Champions League, everyone will take aim at it. However, luckily for the German coach, he has players like the ones mentioned above to help guide his team again this season.
