Why Tuchel don’t open up as Graham Potter reveals dressing room heat up condition
The club no longer requires Thomas Tuchel’s services as head coach or for his business, thus Chelsea’s owners pushed him to leave.
However, When Graham Potter was introduced as Chelsea’s new manager, questions regarding the dressing room were raised. Paradoxically, he also claimed that there was a lack of communication and understanding in the locker room.
He was very clear about the absence of integrity and respect in the locker room. You must regularly connect with your players, he said in his presentation. You’ll lose control of your dressing room if you don’t.
Was this the reason Thomas Tuchel struggled? See what transpires in the comments section.
It will not be simple, though. It is now Potter’s responsibility to weather the storm while also putting his principles into practice on the field. Potter has inherited a team that is thought to contain a number of players who were looking for a way out during the summer.
Robbie Fowler has warned the former Brighton manager that there are concerns in his dressing room before the west Londoners’ match against Liverpool. The former Liverpool striker wrote in his Daily Mirror column: “The locker room appears to be in disarray as well, which may or may not be Tuchel’s fault.
“There are a lot of huge egos in there, and some of them appear to be butting heads. I didn’t like the body language of Reece James and Hakim Ziyech’s free-kick exchange, which said volumes about the concerns Potter would inherit.
“He’s shown at Brighton that he can improve players massively, and he also knows the game, has refreshing ideas, and is technically and tactically astute. I’ve already heard questions about whether he’ll be able to handle those big egos and win over players who seem to have the power at that club to get managers sacked.
“But how does he deal with a divided dressing room? The solution is to walk in with no preconceived notions.”
However, Liverpool has their own issues that might play into Chelsea’s hands, according to Fowler “There’s no denying that Liverpool has some serious issues, and there’s no getting over it.
“It’s ‘clearly’ down to the end of an era, the dissolution of the Klopp empire, the collapse of his team as a force, or whatever in the weird parallel world of social media, but it doesn’t happen in seven games in real life.
“Liverpool were on the approach of a historic quadruple and the indisputable title of the best team of all time nine games ago. They were only a few minutes away from winning the Premier League when Villa fell at the Etihad.
“They were by much the better team in the Champions League final, against a Real Madrid side that was visibly frightened of Liverpool and surprised that they had won; now, seven games into a new season, they’re done as a force?”
