The Chelsea forward scored twice in two minutes as Die Mannschaft thrashed Italy 5-2 to claim their first Nations League victory of the campaign following three consecutive draws.
Hansi Flick’s side will be among the more fancied nations for football’s biggest international tournament at the end of the year. However, when Timo Werner was asked who believes is the favorite to become world champions, he told reporters (as per Roy Nemer):
The South American giants thrashed European champions Italy 3-0 in La Finalissima at Wembley at the beginning of June. They followed that up with a 5-0 triumph over Estonia, with Lionel Messi netting all of the goals.
The upcoming FIFA World Cup will almost certainly be 34-year-old Messi’s final shot at the one major honor that has eluded him throughout his iconic career. Argentina will be aiming to become the first non-European nation to become world champions since Brazil in 2002.
Germany forward Timo Werner still aiming to improve “other aspects” of his game
Timo Werner arrived at Stamford Bridge from RB Leipzig in 2020 with sky-high expectations, but has unfortunately failed to get anywhere near those heights.
The 26-year-old has netted just 23 times in 89 appearances for the Blues across his two seasons, with The Mirror recently reporting that the forward could be offered an escape route to Serie A giants Juventus.
Speaking after his brace against the Italians, Timo Werner couldn’t hide his pleasure at scoring for his country, as he told UEFA.com (per Bulinews):
Germany are seeking a record-equalling fifth World Cup this year, but have been drawn in a tough-looking group alongside Spain, Costa Rica and Japan.
