‘This has to stop’ ‘we’re are lacking this’ – Tuchel reveals one Chelsea problem despite 2-1 win over Leicester City
Thomas Tuchel, the manager of Chelsea, was relieved to observe Chelsea overcome Leicester City 2-1.
Conor Gallagher’s first-half dismissal gave Chelsea a man advantage as they defeated Leicester City.
In a span of six minutes, Gallagher received two yellow cards, the second of which came from a Chelsea corner kick that Leicester City attempted to capitalize on.
Tuchel criticized the club’s positioning on corners and said the team needed to alter its style of play after the game.
“We lack belief and precision,” said Tuchel when analysing his side’s attacking set-piece situation.
“We can speak it out clearly. It’s not good enough how we take set-pieces at the moment and on top of it, we give chances away.
“We are sloppy on the coverage, bad with the decision making how we cover the set-pieces. We have to stop doing this and improve immediately.
“We are on it with the team and I don’t know why it happened again.
“At the end of this chain is a decision that brings such a huge disadvantage after 25 minutes.
“It’s a very, very bad decision from Conor and, of course, he is upset. Everybody was upset in this moment because it almost kills the whole football match.”
