Chelsea legend Zola praises Mount and Havertz
Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola has been impressed by Mason Mount and was happy to see a German star scored a Champions League match winner.
The 22-year-old
Mount
has been one of Chelsea's key players this season, convincing Frank Lampard and Thomas Tuchel that he deserves to be in the starting line-up. England international has netted nine and provided eight assists for the Blues this term.
"He can attack, he can score, he can assist and defend.
"This is necessary in modern football. Before, if you were able to score goals you could do that, but now if you want to be successful you have to work so hard. We saw that the other day [in the Champions League final]."
But there is another young star at Stamford Bridge who won the Champions League for the Blues with a goal against Manchester City.
Zola believes the Germany international Kai Havertz can flourish in that role, adding:
"Kai gave us a surprise the other day
.
"Nobody has ever doubted his qualities in terms of technique and intelligence. Maybe we thought he was not finding his right position on the pitch and wasn’t affecting the game as much.
"He proved people wrong because he performed so well for the team. This position suits him and suits Chelsea very much."
