Thomas Tuchel overhauls the Chelsea squad

DBasia.news – Thomas Tuchel reportedly started an overhaul of the Chelsea squad. According to the Express report, the Chelsea captain, Cesar Azpilicueta, was the victim.

Chelsea appointed Thomas Tuchel to replace Frank Lampard, who was considered a failure. The former Paris Saint-Germain tactician has received an 18 month contract.

Tuchel’s target for this season is nothing much. He just needs to bring Chelsea to the top, he doesn’t need to win. The Blues are aware that it is currently difficult to catch the top teams in the Premier League.

On his debut match at Chelsea, Tuchel earned one point after a 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers. This result is not bad if you look at Tuchel’s time preparing the team.

Now, Tuchel wants to immediately step on the pedal. He will make a revolution to achieve the target.

Reportedly, Azpilicueta was not included in the manager’s plan. Although, he appeared in the formation of three defenders against Wolves.

Tuchel’s choice of expelling Azpilicueta was not much different from that of Lampard. The manager played Reece James more often than Azipilicueta. Meanwhile, Thiago Silva occupied the captain’s position.

Azpilicueta is predicted to leave for the remainder of the winter transfer market in 2021. So far, Athletic Bilbao have shown interest.

Cesar Azpilicueta has strengthened Chelsea since the summer of 2012. Previously, he played for Olympique Marseille. Currently, the 31 year old player’s contract still remains until June 2022.
