Timo Werner has admitted to “running into trouble” in recent weeks at Chelsea, having underestimated the challenge of the Premier League.
“The Premier League is a little bit different from my old league that I used to play in,” Werner said.
“I have to say it’s tougher than I thought. The contact here is tougher than in Germany, it’s what I expected but not like this.
“I think it’s also difficult when you play every three days and the Champions League and the internationals and you have to play on Saturday against teams that can rest all week and think only about the game against you.
“It’s not easy to be the best in every game, but it’s a lot of fun to play in the Premier League.
“The beginning was very good, now after many games, I don’t know if it’s normal but I’m struggling a bit.
“There are a lot of games right now and I think there are some opportunities that I missed two or three weeks ago that weren’t the best, but I think, when you’re new to a country and a league, it’s always a little bit difficult to adapt. and it shouldn’t be an excuse.
“I should try to do my best to be the best footballer that I can be in this league and I think I will adapt well.”
The 24-year-old has gone eight games without scoring in all competitions for Chelsea, having missed several golden opportunities in that drought.
