In an interview with Bild on their Phrasenmäher podcast (as captured by Tz), the 23-year-old Bayer Leverkusen product said that Tuchel has a special attention to detail; he will always look to improve even if the games were as perfect as can be. “No matter how good the games were, if you had a bad pass in it, he was never completely satisfied,” Havertz said.
