Thomas Tuchel has rotated his side to find the correct balance in games, and extract the most from his players since his arrival in Chelsea.
It was no surprise anymore to see the German praise his team’s fitness, after they won Manchester city in the league game.
“I think the second half was a fantastic response to the last five minutes of the first half where we almost lost it all,” Tuchel said. “With every minute we gained confidence and quality. We got better and better.
“It was a tough battle and once we got the equaliser we never stopped attacking. This tells us we can rely on our fitness which is a fantastic feeling at the end of a season. We can also rely on our team spirit, we keep going.”
A remarkable statistic doing the rounds regarding Tuchel surrounds his record against some of Europe’s top coaches:
He has been able to take the Blues’ squad to the next level of late, and seemingly maximise the investment from last summer.
The target next time out, no matter this season’s result, will surely be securing the Premier League title, aided by further additions in the summer.
