Schurrle is one of the them, though," Tuchel told Bild. "Players like them do not have an ego, but still contribute a lot of goals."It's always easier when you are a defender playing behind one of them."That's why we so desperately needed Schurrle, because we lost Mkhitaryan playing like this."</blockquote>
