werner we have the quality to beat liverpool. Timo werner first interview Timo Werner does not have to wait long to test himself against what was the benchmark for top Premier League football last season. Having made his competitive debut for Chelsea at Brighton on Monday and shown what a dangerous player he can be when winning the penalty for the opening goal, seven days later he has the chance to face champions Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, no doubt seeking his first Premier League goal in his first home game for the Blues. Preparations for that match are well underway, and following training on Wednesday Werner took part in his first media conference as a Chelsea player. He was asked about Sunday’s match and specifically about lining up against Virgil van Dijk. ‘I am looking forward to the game because you have a lot of good teams and with Liverpool, one of the best teams in the world,’ Werner responded. ‘They won the league last year and they have the same team as last year, so they will be as strong as last year. So it will be a really good challenge for us to see how far we are. We had not so good a pre-season because a lot of players come from holiday, a lot of players didn’t play any games before our first game against Brighton, a lot of players couldn’t play, and that made it a little difficult to fight together but I think for this we did very well. Timo Werner relishing tough Liverpool test. We will improve game by game but now we have to play on Sunday and we try to win the game. We are playing against a strong team and they have such good players, not only Virgil van Dijk, the whole defending part of Liverpool are very good. They conceded the least goals in the league and it is a great team in every position. ‘But we also have great players and we have the quality to beat them. It will be an interesting game.’ Liverpool was one of the clubs Werner was linked to in the media before he settled on signing at Stamford Bridge, and the 24-year-old discussed that choice. ‘When I decided to leave Leipzig I talked to different clubs, next to Chelsea,’ he said, ‘but I don’t want to talk too much about other clubs because I decide on Chelsea because for me it was the best decision I can take. ‘Not only because of the style of football but because of what they have shown to me. It was a hard decision but I am very excited and proud with what I decided and I am happy I decided like this. 'After one-and-a-half months here it feels right, it feels really good and the team is brilliant said Timo Werner 'We have some good but calm and nice players. We can do well with this team in the next few months and the next few years. ‘But we also have great players and we have the quality to beat them.
