Kai Havertz reveals discussion with Germany manager Joachim Low over his new role

Chelsea star Kai Havertz has hinted that he and Joachim Low have agreed he will be used as a forward player this summer at Euro 2020.

The Blues boss Thomas Tuchel deployed the youngster in a false nine role last season as Timo Werner and other strikers in the west London were misfiring in front of opponents’ goal.

Low will replicate same in the national team by potentially moving Havertz forward into the false nine role, which he has shown signs of promise in over the last few months for the Blues.

Havertz said: “I’m a creative player and feel at home in the final third. I think the coach pictures my role much in the same way I do.

“I hope that I can play my part to help us win games and get far in the tournament.”

With Havertz having confirmed that Low agrees on the position that the former prefers, it would suggest that he will be playing in a false nine role this summer for his country.

That is because Havertz recently admitted that he was beginning to find his feet in that position and felt it was best suited to him.

He told Sky Sports last month: “I would call it maybe a false nine. “I’m not the big guy in the middle like some strikers. I play the position a little bit different.

“That’s why it’s good we have a lot of quality players up front next to me, and it’s always easy to play with them.

“For me it’s a good position and I like it. I feel very comfortable there.

“I always like to go into the spaces and get the ball there and I like to play up front near to the goal, that’s also very good for me, so all in all I think I like the position and it suits me.”
