Germany’s 22-year-old Kai Havertz admitted he feared becoming a meme when he was presented with an open goal in the Chelsea Champions League final clash with rivals in the Premier League Man City.
What did Kai Havertz say?
Havertz was able to keep his nerves in the European showcase, with a win-win match recorded in the 42nd minute of the continental heavyweight clash. The 22-year-old, however, had a few scary thoughts running through his head after pooling the ball behind Man City goalkeeper Ederson, with Kai Havertz showing a thin line between hero and villain.
Visiting Chelsea’s official website about whether he got a little nerve after seeing a gaping goal against Man City, Kai Havertz said yes, 100 percent. These moments, they are always the worst, because they think if Havertz misses this one, then of course they are on YouTube, Instagram and in every meme, so Kai Havertz just thought that please, he should score now. Then, of course, it happened and then these are the best moments in football.
Kai Havertz Feels Very Good
The Champions League-winning goal allowed Kai Havertz to end his Chelsea debut season at the highest of the highs, with a £ 70 million high return on faith. Questions were asked about this deal in early 2020-21, on the flip side of a big money transfer from Bayer Leverkusen, with the hot prospect of taking some time to find their feet in English football. Kai, however, has won over his doubters and admits that he feels more grounded in west London as Tuchel’s side is watching larger silverware in the current campaign.
About their adaptation to life in a new environment, Kai Havertz added that of course they get used to it when they play some games, when they have some matches, when they are here in England for several months. It’s a different type of football, but Havertz thinks you’re getting used to it and it was the same for him. Six months later, it was easier for him, and then Kai settled down very well. Kai Havertz feels very good on the serve and you are more relaxed on the serve to play. Then, of course, it got a little better, and now Kai is used to it and feels very good.
