Rafael van der Vaart threatened to walk away from a Dutch television show after a host suggested that Timo Werner displayed some of Robin van Persie’s ilk during the Zenit tie last night. Werner netted two times and assisted Lukaku in a 3-3 away draw, but a former Ajax, Spurs, and Real Madrid midfielder was having none of it.”If you compare Werner with Van Persie one more time, I will walk away now,” he said.He may appear useless in the Premier League, but Timo turns into a beast for the Champions LeagueAsked about Chelsea’s attacking options, the Dutchman slammed Werner and claimed he doesn’t do much apart from “running around”.”All he does is put his head down and run, which leads to nothing. Werner is truly a blind horse. He had already shown that’s what he’s like when he played in Germany – and he’s doing it again now.”He’s [Werner] super-fast, and that might be nice in an away game when you’re under pressure, but it’s just putting your head down and running around.”Rafael van der Vaart: What is Courtois nagging about? He just stands thereDuring his short career in the punditry studio, Van Der Vaart has not been afraid to make his views on modern-day footballers known.He has regularly slammed United captain Harry Maguire, questioning why the English giants spent £80m on the former Leicester City man. ”When I go to see an amateur club on Sunday, I can find three players who can play like him,” he said during United’s 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool.”I mean that. It might be silly to say it, but he won’t hear it anyway. We are talking about a €90 million signing here. Then Van Dijk is worth €300 million.”Maguire goes home and tells his wife, “I’m so sh*t at football, but I earn so much.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6034807##
