Tuchel & Chelsea: a match made in soccer heaven, apparently
Within the wake of Chelsea reaching the Champions League last, soccer journalist Julien Laurens highlighted a really spectacular stat about their new(ish) head coach Thomas Tuchel:
In simply 4 months in command of Chelsea, Tuchel has crushed groups managed by:
Zinedine Zidane (Actual Madrid), Pep Guardiola (Man Metropolis), Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool), Diego Simeone (Atletico – twice), Jose Mourinho (Spurs) and Carlo Ancelotti (Everton). Variety of objectives conceded by Chelsea in these wins? None. NONE. Tuchel is the Messiah!
P.S. Laurens didn’t point out Chelsea’s current clean-sheet wins over Scott Parker (Fulham) and David Moyes (West Ham), which is a tad harsh on the Englishman and the Scot, as they’ve each executed higher (comparatively) than Mourinho this season.
The one supervisor who has executed a job on Tuchel is the one, the one, BIG SAM. West Brom beat Chelsea 5-2 at Stamford Bridge this season, which has to rank as one of the crucial outlying leads to years, even when Chelsea did have a person despatched off.
Bonus stat: Massive Sam is the one supervisor to win away at Chelsea within the Premier League with three completely different golf equipment (Bolton, Crystal Palace and West Brom).
