‘His playing style makes us depend on him’ – Tuchel heaps praise on talented Chelsea star
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel praised the performance of hat-trick hero Mason Mount following their emphatic 7-0 victory over Norwich City in the Premier League on Saturday.
Speaking on the club’s official website following their win, Thomas Tuchel expressed his happiness towards Mason Mount who netted the first hat-trick of his Chelsea career.
Thomas Tuchel admits Chelsea rely heavily on Mason Mount due to his playing style. The 48-year-old manager utilizes Mount as a link between midfield and attack, which is why he is so important to the way Chelsea play.
Tuchel said: “To have the hat-trick for Mason is huge because that’s a massive moment for him. He’s very proud, he put a lot of pressure on himself. We play most games with three strikers and Mason is one of the strikers. You could say that Mason is between and eight and a 10, not a real striker, so we depend heavily on him in a key role.
“We depend on Mason and we want to because we like his style, we like where he comes from, we like his personality. He’s a top player and a top guy, so we’re happy for him.”
Chelsea secured a 7-0 win over a struggling Norwich City side yesterday thanks to a hat-trick by Mason Mount. Other Chelsea goalscorers were Callum Hudson-Odoi, Reece James and Ben Chilwell.
