‘Is unlike Tuchel, they would have win’ – Zenit boss finally reveals Tuchel decisions that ruin Chelsea’s victory over Zenit
Following Chelsea’s 3-3 draw Zenit St Petersburg boss Sergei Semak has cited Thomas Tuchel’s decision to make eight changes for the game against Zenit on Wednesday night as reason for Chelsea’s inability to beat the Russian side.
According to Semak, Chelsea were too open, which is unlike the Blues, due to the many changes Tuchel made to the starting XI.
“Chelsea played openly today. Semak said.
“If you look at the last five games, they let their opponents only score once and today we scored three times.
“For them, the game was easy in terms of motivation. Their head coach let a lot of players rest so today’s team meant the game was open and it meant there were a lot of opportunities. It’s difficult to play like that all the time.”
The Blues can face Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Lille or Ajax in the round of 16 in the Champions League after finishing second in our Champions League group.
