When asked what has changed for him this season, the 23-year-old told Sport Bild:
"I'm now playing in a slightly different position as a kind of number 10. That helps me a lot. I have a lot of freedom. There are many teams that defend well in the Bundesliga. You often have to wait a long time for your chance and stay patient. But I've developed in that regard.
"I'm no longer worrying too much about whether I'll score or not. I just go on the pitch, give everything and hope that I'll score a goal that will ideally contribute to a win," Werner said.
In total, Werner has scored 78 goals in 134 games for RB Leipzig.
