Leipzig – Does it bring up bad memories? If RB Leipzig on Wednesday evening in the Champions League meets Manchester City (9 p.m. / DAZN), Timo Werner (26) will also see an old Premier League competitor again.

The striker played for Chelsea from 2020 to 2022 and met coach Pep Guardiola’s club (52) several times.
Towards the end of his time on the island, however, it may not have given him so much pleasure.
Because the second year with the “Blues” was not exactly rosy for the national player. “In the end I just wanted to leave,” Werner revealed in an interview with “Sun”.

As is well known, the chemistry with coach Thomas Tuchel (49) did not fit either, who, according to the lawn baller, did not care that Werner had scored important goals at Chelsea in the first year.
The attacker: “The coach forgot all of that a bit, it wasn’t fair. That was also one of the reasons why I had to go back to Leipzig to have fun again.”

The 26-year-old probably had to experience England to see what he had in Leipzig. Anyway, it’s “too late” to regret the change.
After all, Werner’s knowledge from the Premier League could now be extremely useful for the Saxons in the premier class duel with the “Sky Blues” on Wednesday.
Sure, basically the German representative is an outsider against the title favorite in the race. Unlike City, however, the Red Bulls won their dress rehearsal at the weekend. In addition, the Saxons, who are strong at home, are difficult to crack in the Red Bull Arena.

That’s why the clear announcement by Emil Forsberg (31) who Bundesliga teams with his goal to make it 1-0 against VfL Wolfsburg on the road to victory had brought: “There are great games coming up. We want to go into every game and win.”
