“Idea of football is attacking” – Marc Cucurella explains why Graham Potter will be good for Chelsea | OneFootball

The World Cup ‘break’ came at the perfect time for Chelsea Football Club.

We had been seeing a poor run of performances and results in the league, and we have slipped into 8th spot in the table.

Things were all very gloomy at the club and some fans had started to get on the back of new head coach Graham Potter already.

Potter started well in his Chelsea reign, but things soon started to dip and he and the players need this period away from club football to reset and pick it back up for the second half of the season.

Potter has proven to be a good coach at Brighton, but that doesn’t stop the many doubts whether he can do it at a big club like Chelsea.

Marc Cucurella knows Potter as a coach better than anyone, having now been with him at two club. And he believes Potter at Chelsea will be good for all.

As reported by The Sun, Cucurella said: “We have big players to do his ideas. I was really happy at Brighton with him and now he has come here and I think it is good for me and the rest of the team. He is a good coach because his idea of football is attacking.

“All of it is a process. The first season with Graham in Brighton the results were not good, they stayed down in the table.

“They continued with the same ideas, working, working and working. Then, last season and this season they played really good with the same ideas.

“We need to work and understand his ideas and the results will arrive.

“It is difficult because it is a new coach with different ideas and it is difficult to change without the time to train.

“This part of the season we have time, we meet more and know the ideas of the coach.  This second part of the season, I am excited for.

“After he arrived, it was difficult training because there are a lot of games.

“These weeks gave us time for training to prepare for the second half of the season. It is good training together because you understand the players and your team-mates’ movements.

“All the changes are difficult. We have a lot of players to come with a new manager, not a lot of training time because we play a lot of games.

“We need to know his ideas and then play together — these weeks have been very good for us.”
