Revealed: Why Tuchel shouted at Kovacic during Middlesbrough vs Chelsea clash
We are used to seeing our passionate head coach Thomas Tuchel screaming at players from the touchline.
However, during Chelsea’s 2-0 FA Cup victory over Middlesbrough on Saturday, Tuchel was caught shouting at Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic.
With Chelsea leading Middlesbrough 2-0 in the second-half, Kovacic drew the ire of Tuchel by losing possession cheaply to Middlesbrough.
The Blues had looked comfortable in possession and were recycling up the pitch. The Croatian looked to drive the ball up the pitch as he does so well but he quickly gave it away when not under too much pressure.
Tuchel was very much left vexed and made sure the midfielder knew it. He was probably just rested but it wasn’t too much longer before he was being replaced by N’Golo Kante.
