“Both of them deserve the credit” – Tuchel reveals 2 Chelsea stars who have ‘turned around’ their form massively
Following Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic impressive form, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has praised the Chelsea duo for taking responsibility for their turnaround.
Tuchel said: “Yes, it is incredible [their experience at such a young age]. There is no substitute for it. It is the best because you can grow so much with these experiences. There are many ways to grow, but this is really accelerating the process of their development and it is good to see that they’re ready to take responsibility and step up. It is so good to have them.
“Christian was in the same situation as Kai. Both of them took the responsibility for the turnaround, so it is their responsibility, and they deserve the credit. They did amazingly and you can see it on the pitch.
“If the players step up their responsibility on a daily basis and fight heavily for it and accept no excuses for themselves, and dig into the situation and dig their way out, then they will have our full support.
Once this happens it is of course sometimes a give and take, and then a positive cycle of improvement and support and you get the positive feedback and that is where Christian is at the moment.
It is important, he is decisive and that is what we demand at the same time. We will keep on pushing them.
“At their ages, they are far from reaching their top level, and there is so much more to come. We are proud to have them.”
