Timo Werner Underscores Confidence Following Season’s First Goal

Tottenham Hotspur forward Timo Werner discussed the crucial role that self-belief plays in his capacity to score goals. The German striker secured the opening goal in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup victory against Manchester City, marking his first goal of the current season. “It was a tough game and to score a goal after tough weeks for me was also very nice, especially to have it at home,” Werner said. “When I saw the goal back, it was way more confident the shot and wanting to score this goal than all the other chances. I have to continue with that.” “Of course when you are a striker and didn’t score, you think too much in front of the goal but I never think about not doing the runs to come into this situation.” “I think it would be stupid to stop those runs only because being scared to score. I think at the end, that’s what my strengths are and that’s why I scored a lot of goals in my career in the past. Exactly from this situation. I think when I come back, exactly like I did the goal, I keep on going with this mentality of being more confident in front of goal and I think ‘yeah, I can score many more goals’.”
