‘It’s all about connections’ – Tuchel reveals two Chelsea players has the strongest connection with Lukaku
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel hopes the rest of the squad can improve their understanding of Lukaku ’s game to benefit the team.
However, the manager has revealed Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has the strongest connection on the pitch with Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic.
When told Lukaku looks isolated and asked if there’s still an adjustment taking place for him and the team, Tuchel said: “Yes and no.
“He was fully involved in the first game against Arsenal, the second half against Tottenham he was involved in creating chances for Timo Werner, Mason in the first half.
“I think that football right now is about connections, Romelu I feel has a strong connection with Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic.
“They look for each other and have an understanding, everybody else maybe lacks it a bit so they need to learn and understand and adapt, create better of course.
“Like I said, we have games where he was fully involved but now we have games like against Manchester City where of course he was isolated, City made him that, our transition did that as well. There will always be matches like this. There is no place to go.
“Sometimes you have these games so maybe this one is not a reference game.
“We will talk maybe totally different if he had scored in the 80th minute [against Juventus] which was a chance he normally scores.
“It is right but nothing major to worry about. We are aware of it.”
