Korkut says that Tuchel will help Havertz not only with his style of play but also language.
When people talk about tactics, they forget about the human being, the former Leverkusen coach feels.
Korkut states that the most important thing is to support Kai in this moment as he’s struggling.
“Thomas should be good for him because of the style of play but also because of the language,” Tayfun Korkut told Sky Sports.
Korkut was the coach who oversaw Kai Havertz’s debut into senior football at Bayer Leverkusen.
“We can talk a lot about tactics but the human being is more than the tactics. Thomas can help him because he knows him very well and will know how to handle him.
“He has worked at PSG and Dortmund with players of a similar style.
If you remember Lampard as a player, he was quite different to Kai. He was more emotional and maybe he felt that was missing in Kai. Sometimes the coach has to adapt to the player as well.
“But I think Thomas can help him. Maybe this is the turning point.
“The more important thing is that he needs someone to support him in this moment when he is struggling. People are expecting big things and it is not so easy. He needs confidence.”
After a steady start to his Chelsea career, Kai Havertz was struck with injuries and a bout of coronavirus.
So far, the 21-year-old has 5 goals and 6 assists in 25 games for the Blues – however, a lot of those have come in cup competitions.
