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

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.
