Kai Havertz draws a comparison between the Bundesliga and the Premier League after his move from Bayer Leverkusen to Chelsea. In an interview with ‘Sky’, the 21-year-old says: “I don’t want to say that it’s a different quality than in the Bundesliga, but the game is just completely different here. In the Bundesliga you sometimes have more time, even when moving backwards. But here you don’t have time for, because every run of your opponent feels like a sprint. It’s much more physical, much more aggressive in terms of playing style. “

And further: “There are maybe two or three teams here that play their possession football, but the rest of the teams just hit the ball forward and then hit the second ball.” Havertz also admits that he initially needed time to get used to the new way of playing: “Of course it took a week or two to adjust to it one hundred percent.”
