Ex-Germany coach Vogts tells Chelsea striker Werner: Be more selfish!

Former Germany coach Berti Vogts has offered advice to Chelsea striker Timo Werner ahead of their Euro 2020 opener.

Werner is expected to start on the bench for tomorrow night's clash with France.

Vogts told Sportbuzzer: "Many accuse him of not scoring enough goals, and he really has to work on it.

"As a striker, you should not think about using the man next to you first. Scoring a goal must always be your first targe. Because a striker is judged by goals, it is heroic when you make the decisive goal. So, Timo Werner: be more selfish!

"I would like to see Timo Werner up there. He can get into important spaces in front of the goal with his speed, right there, in the middle, the French are vulnerable. He can do a lot with his strength one on one."
