If Chelsea Is Consistent, Tuchel Believes He Can Beat Manchester City

DBasia.news – Chelsea coach, Thomas Tuchel, believes that the Blues actually have a chance to beat Manchester City. However, individual abilities made the difference in yesterday’s match.

Chelsea must recognize Manchester City’s 1-0 advantage in the 2021-2022 Premier League continued match, at the Etihad Stadium, Saturday (15/1). Kevin De Bruyne scored the only goal for the hosts in the 70th minute.

According to Tuchel, Chelsea has actually performed well. In fact, with similar qualities, Chelsea can beat Manchester City.

“Note, with the same performance we can win the game against Manchester City. With the same performance we can also draw and of course lose,” explained Tuchel as reported by Football London.

Chelsea’s goal was torn apart by De Bruyne’s long-range goal. Now, with that defeat, the Blues are 13 points behind Man City who are comfortably at the top of the standings.

“Kevin De Bruyne’s individual quality is what makes the difference. We try to press and show performances that can beat them. We brought some difficulties to their game,” said the tactician.

Thomas Tuchel also praised the appearance of Chelsea’s back line. Unfortunately, the Blues failed to convert a number of opportunities into goals.

“We are active, aggressive, and compact in defense. In the first half, we had a chance on the counter-attack. However, we squandered it,” said the former Paris Saint-Germain coach.

Next, Chelsea will visit Brighton headquarters on Wednesday (19/1). Four days later, Romelu Lukaku and his friends will host Tottenham Hotspur.
