Goodbyes to loved ones are never easy and liked by many people but in Chelsea F.C instance it has brought the fortunes to them or you can say sacking Lampard (Club Legend) in mid-season left all the fans in agony but I feel it has turned out as one of the best decisions in club history and I can surely say no fan of Chelsea FC might regret this decision.
From the day Tuchel took the reign of Chelsea in his hand, he never looked back and from match 1; Chelsea is firing in all cylinders especially their defensive stability is hell good. And to be honest, When Tuchel arrived for Chelsea I never thought that this kind of dominance Chelsea will show, and in the same season, he will win their second champions league in the history of the football club. Because only a few days back Tuchel got sacked by the PSG and going after that manager who recently got sacked was a daring decision by management and whoever take that decision I think he/she has hit the bullseye.
But how Tuchel turned this side into a world-class team that is struggling under the Lampard? So let’s have a look at what he has done.
When any new manager arrives at the club, he might try to focus on playing attacking football which may excite the fans but Tuchel adopted a different approach what he did was, he first solidify his defense and solve the defensive issues and their defense from the very first match was unbreachable and many said that they are playing boring football and other things but Tuchel knows what he is trying to do and where his team is going and at the end, it pays off.
And in modern football, we always talk about formation and playing style. And he adopted a system of 3-4-2-1 and I want to quote Pep Guardiola here as he said in an interview that “Why Chelsea play so good because they have three central defenders close, the two holding midfielders who move in relation are close, the pockets are close, the striker and the two [others in the attack] are so, so close. “The distances are so close, and at the same time they are so wide with the wing-backs, they are so good with the ball in behind. “That’s why you cannot be close because they push you [out wide] and they have a lot of good players in the middle. “That’s why it’s difficult to face teams who want the ball and want to play with the ball. We’ve tried to do it since day one.” And one thing I want to add here is their work-rate means the work they do when they don’t have the ball they press high, their defender’s positions are right and they play fierce football when they defend they defend hard when they attack they attack hard and within 7-8 months he has made this team unbeatable.
And now with the arrival of Lukaku, they have a striker who can bang 30-35 goals in a season and if Lukaku achieves this number I think they will win some major titles in this season. And I feel they are one of the main contenders of winning the Premier League as things stand as of today.
