After bringing in Kai Havertz for the second-highest transfer fee in team history for £71 million the previous summer, the German has become the key man to the Blues after half a season of adaptation, delivering two goals and one assist in three finals and leading the way to three major tournament titles.
In last season, Kay Havertz was called a parallel by fans because then-coach Frank Lampard failed to find his best position; whether it was playing in midfield, attacking midfield, or winger, his performance was incompatible with the team. Coupled with injuries and infections due to untimely injuries, he had a rather unsatisfactory early life in the Blues. Thomas Tuchel's successor changed Kay Havertz's plight in mid-season, and Thomas Tuchel placed Kay Havertz in the "pseudo-nine" position closer to the penalty area, protecting his shortcomings that were not outstanding in speed, and also allowing his skills and shooting skills to be displayed.
In the second leg of the Champions League final four against Real Madrid, Kay Havertz delivered an assist, including a hanging shot against Thibault Courtois that impressed fans; it was impossible to do without a little skill and guts. In the Champions League final against Manchester City, Kay Havertz scored a winning goal worth 10,000 gold to win the second Champions League title in the team's history.
The following season, Kay Havertz continued to play key roles, first in the Final of the European Super Cup against Villarreal, where he delivered an assist to Hakim Ziyeh to help the team open the scoring. At the just-concluded Club World Cup, he also successfully withstood the pressure in stoppage time, scoring a penalty for the team and winning the first Club World Cup title in the history of the team.
Kay Havertz may not be a goal-scoring killer, but his creativity and influence on the pitch are enormous. Coupled with his strong psychological quality, it is even more rare that he can repeatedly contribute in key battles and finals. Look at the neighboring Tottenham Kane, who scored a lot of goals against weak teams, but he was weak every time he played, and such a type of player is also very popular. Manchester United's legendary centre-back Leo Ferdinand praised the sworn enemy attacker, saying that he had scored these two key goals enough to make him retire directly: "I think even if he wears the Chelsea shirt and does not play now, he has fully fulfilled his value. He scored the most important goals in the history of two teams, he didn't have to do anything more, hang up his boots!"
