Hunt for Second Victory, Tuchel Maintain Formation 3 Defenders

Chelsea will travel to Tottenham Hotspur's headquarters in the English Premier League.

LONDON - Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel is eyeing a second win in his third match as coach of the Blues. Tuchel is optimistic that his team will be able to beat Tottenham Hotspur in the 22nd week of the English Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, Friday (5/2) in the morning WIB.


The German tactician arrived at Stamford Bridge to replace Frank Lampard. The first match of the former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach only resulted in a 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers, last weekend.

Tuchel just got his first victory when he beat Burnley with a score of 2-0. In his hands, Chelsea played with three defenders. This defender three formation seems to be applied by Tuchel against Tottenham.




Another significant change is Callum Hudson-Odoi playing as a full-back. Hudson-Odoi was chosen to be the man of the match in two matches under Tuchel.

For this reason, the coach who brought PSG to the Champions League final last season wants to return to rely on Hudson-Odoi's role as a wing defender in overcoming Spurs' play.

"I do not know he has never played in that position. Maybe this is a good thing because I did not ask him. Even if I already knew, maybe I would have doubted," said Tuchel as reported by the Express , Thursday (4/2).

Tuchel admits that he has little time to formulate strategies. However, he doesn't have many options and chooses to focus on every match.

"We only trained once before against Wolves. On the same day, we immediately flew (by plane) and implemented the game," he said.

He praised Hudson-Odoi for playing very well. Tuchel is also happy because he still has four other offensive players who can act on the field.
