“Everyone was sharp” – Tuchel praises ‘complete’ Chelsea performance and ‘deserved win’ | OneFootball

It was a great night for Chelsea fans last night, as they take another big scalp since Thomas Tuchel took charge of the club just 10 games ago.

After beating Atletico Madrid in the Champions League a couple of weeks back, now they have beaten the Premier League title holders Liverpool in their own back yard.

Thomas Tuchel has followed a similar coaching path to Jurgen Klopp, pretty much in his shadow. But last night he came out of his shadow and out-foxed his German counterpart to get his Chelsea side back in the top four.

The Blues are now on course to qualify for the Champions League spot with 11 games remaining in the Premier League, but with a lot of work left to do.

If they keep playing like they did last night, with every single player putting in a shift and playing well, then they’ll have nothing to worry about.

Tuchel was full of praise after the game, as reported by WAGNH.

He said:

“I am very, very happy with the performance. It was clear we needed a complete performance in all aspects of the game. We did this, we were very brave with the ball and never lost intensity with the ball. We were always aggressive and very brave. This was the key. It was a top team performance and a deserved win.

“We played with courage, had excellent moments with the ball, had moments we needed to suffer. Never lost the attitude and desire and a deserved win and big performance. It was a very good team performance. They ask you a lot of questions and we need to have the answers.

“Everyone was very brave and everyone was sharp. It is a six-point game because the others lose. The race is on, there are still 11 games to go. We go step by step. We can never rest and never celebrate, there is no time.”
