‘I have to use that tactics to destroyed them! – Tuchel finally reveals secret weapon that destroyed Southampton
The Blues were in top form against Southampton, as the Blues put 6 past the Saints at the St Mary’s Stadium.
However, It was a dominant Chelsea display, and everything about the team’s performance was flawless.
Speaking after the game, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel explained the tactical switch he made for this game.
The Blues boss opted to play with two strikers, with Mason Mount just behind them.
Tuchel’s tactics worked perfectly, and Southampton had no response.
“We decided to play with two strikers, it was his favourite position against an opponent where we knew they would press high,” Tuchel said.
“The connection was amazing with Kai and Kova. He loves to play with them and we found spaces in behind because it’s a higher attacking opponent. So it was set out for him to deliver and make a statement that he does not give up and is still an important player of this club.”
