Chelsea striker Werner lifts lid on Tuchel 'screaming at me on the pitch'

Chelsea striker Timo Werner has no problem with the aggressive management of Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel is a lively character on the touchline and can often be seen bellowing orders to his players.

And Werner says his manager's loud personality suits him perfectly.

“It's no problem for me when he screams at us on the pitch," the 25-year-old told Match of the Day magazine.

“I need a manager who screams at me. It gives me more power.

“I had the same at Leipzig - I've always had managers who have shouted rom the sidelines and pushed me on."

He added: “I understand every word he says and I think he understand every word when I talk to him, which makes it very easy for me.

“In German, I'm very good - German is a good language for me."

Werner admits his debut season at Chelsea has been a difficult one, but stresses that he remains determined to help the team.

“When you don't score as a striker, it's always tough," he continued.

“I want to help the team and I want to score, because that's my nature - I'm a striker. Winning games is the most important thing, but after that, it's scoring."
