[Saba Sports News] In this round of the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur drew 1-1 with Glasgow Rangers. After the match, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou publicly criticized Timo Werner during a press conference, stating that he did not perform to the expected level and that the players’ performance in the first half was unacceptable. It is worth noting that the German forward has made 19 appearances for Tottenham this season, scoring only once in the League Cup. Currently, Werner’s transfer market value is €17 million. Notably, during his time at RB Leipzig in 2020, Werner’s market value peaked at €80 million, and he joined Chelsea for €53 million in 2020. Although he lifted the Champions League trophy with Chelsea, his performance at the club did not meet expectations. Subsequently, Werner returned to RB Leipzig in 2022 for €20 million and joined Tottenham on loan in January this year. Werner is already a seasoned player, having competed on the international stage and won the Champions League—such a player needs to reach a certain level of performance to help the team, and he has clearly not met that level.
