Well if he can get to his form pre-Chelsea he will be good enough to play for the NT . As said prior there are only a few true CF in the game today and Many NT teams have faired well in tourneys with 2nd rated strikers . Which at least at a minim he is . Also want to see how Havertz develops . It’s time he steps up . Otherwise he will Only be a substitute come WC
WOW - Big Kudos to Werner - he took a salary cut from 18 million Euros per year down to 10 million. Happy to see for him it was about making the NT this year and not just about money - Big respect man
Looks like the Werner transfer fee was 20 million euros, which could reach up to around 30 mil based on performance based add ons
Tedesco expects Werner to be a direct option for their starting XI right away https://www.ligainsider.de/mobile/t...ner-einsatz-von-beginn-an-in-aussicht-324780/

With Kai struggling right now, it's nice to see that at least Timo slowly but surely recapturing his old form just before the WC.

At this point all that matters is that Werner can deliver for the NT. It's not the first time we've seen players with dismal club form shine for their NT.
Werner looked set up to fail in Tedesco's archaic system. He was basically stationed out on the LW or left attacking midfield position the whole time he was on the field. Where he'll only be used to send in awkward crosses into the box Andre Silva has been exposed after he joined Leipzig as not that great of a striker. He only excelled in Frankfurt's system, just like how Luka Jovic excelled there before crashing out when he joined Real Madrid Werner played the best football of his career when he was part of a 2 striker up top striker formation. Yusuf Poulsen despite his limitations provided the physical and workhorse presence on the pitch to compliment Werner's game Tedesco's slow moving possession play looks to also be clashing with how Leipzig's previous brand of fast paced gegenpressing ball
Solid first half vs Real Madrid yesterday. Leipzig held on alright until around the 80th min when the started conceding. A 0-1 loss probably would've been more indicative of the run of play, but they conceded a second one as well after in injury time Timo Werner’s first half by numbers vs. Real Madrid:100% dribbles completed 100% long balls completed 2 key passes 1 clearance 1 shot on target 1 big chance createdShowing some nice link-up play. 🔗 pic.twitter.com/QGDikSvMdU— Statman Dave (@StatmanDave) September 14, 2022
