"Sometimes, there are two or three defenders on Lukaku"

Kai Havertz is happy at Chelsea. He is happy with his role, happy with his teammates and happy with the challenges he has ahead. In an interview for 'The Blues' official media, he analyzed his tactical work at Chelsea, expressed his happiness on his role for the team and praised Romelu Lukaku.

"Sometimes, there are two or three defenders on Lukaku, which gives us more space around him. He has now played a couple of games for us and as we get used to him, he gets better. He is a brilliant striker. I think that in the last couple of game she showed everyone what he is capable of", said the German player. 

"My role on the team? We have many offensive players and sometimes we change our formation. Sometimes I play as a number '10', sometimes as a number '9'. I am enjoying playing in these positions. These are my favorite positions, and it gets even better with these players around", he said. 

"It is a different situation to adapt to. When I play as a number '10', you can intervene more in the game", explained before describing his job as a number '9': " You always need to stay on side and try to score even when you haven't touched the ball for a while".
