Kai Havertz admits some players weren’t unhappy when Graham Potter was sacked

Havertz is always an interesting interview, and he produced the goods last night – perhaps unintentionally – when he spoke about what the feelings were in the dressing room after Graham Potter’s sacking.

In quotes picked up after the game by Nizaar Kinsella for the Evening Standard but only released now, the attacker admitted that there wasn’t universal depression when Potter lost his job.

“Of course, there were mixed emotions for everyone. It is not that, I don’t know [whether everyone is upset, given] how many players that we have in the squad… that everyone is frustrated or happy.”

Clearly there will be some players in the group hoping for more chances under a new coach, but equally we can’t see many of those outcasts getting much of a chance under a new man either. Their ill will towards Potter may well prove to be misplaced.

As for Havertz, there’s no doubting he was one in the pro Potter camp. He was trusted more than anyone else under the sacked manager, who stuck with the German up top through thick and thin.

  1. Dosent make sense, since they are the same players who are responsible for 2 coaches to be sacked in a spate of 9 monthe. Shame on them.

  2. Wishing the new Coach success in the remaining matches. It was a great thing Chelsea management did sending the second tier Coach away,we will now have less blood pressure when Chelsea is playing. Happy as Potter POTTED. Chelsea will raise to Stardom soon

  3. Kai Havertz contributed to Potter sack because the goals he supposed to score in order to put Chelsea up for winning he will miss the goal.
    I suggest Frank Lampard should rest him for a while. Playing 13 full time match with just 3 goal is a bad result.
