Kai Havertz

“A career doesn't always go up and up and up, you sometimes have to fall down a little bit and sit on the bench, learn from it.”

“The coach is a very important person for me. It must be a good fit.”

“I always go into matches telling myself that I want to score or make an assist. As a striker, you have to do that. Of course, it's not possible in every game. There are only a small amount of players that can really do that, and even they struggle sometimes.”

“I think animals are very important for us, for the world, and I do my best for them to have a better life.”

“My objective is to master classical and modern music eventually.”

“The one who really impressed me is Olivier Giroud. I wouldn't have expected that before. He's an amazing player. Playing with him as a striker is just fun.”

“Everyone knows I can play on the right, left, as a nine or in the 10.”

“Personally, sometimes I grow from these situations when you don't have a good moment, maybe sit on the bench.”

“I'm not the big guy in the middle like some strikers. I play the position a little bit different.”

“I have played for five years on a good level and showed I can score a lot of goals in a season.”

“I'm a creative player, I'm instinctive.”

“I think it's a lot different to Germany, the Premier League is much harder. They have very good teams and I think the life, everything is different, even small things like driving on the right side.”

“I am trying to focus on football and trying to play my best football here in Chelsea and not put pressure on myself.”

“In Germany, I was always the best, everybody loved me and then they think: 'OK, he comes to England, now he can do it again.' It was just not easy for me. But as a person and a player, I grew very much during that period and, after the rain, comes always the sun.”

“I'm trying to do my best to help people, to help the animals.”

“More or less, I'm a midfield player but I like to go into the box, and maybe that's why not every defensive player has me on their mind - I just run through the midfield and then I'm there.”

“You have to put your ego aside and give your best for the team.”

“Football is a business, and many people won't care about it two weeks after a Champions League win, and if you have a bad game, it's all forgotten about.”

“For me it's a perfect step to come from Leverkusen to the Premier League.”

“When you play for Chelsea you always want to win trophies.”
