Chelsea is expecting a Premier League derby on Saturday against Leicester, and before the match, the head coach of Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel, announced himself.
Chelsea players currently occupy first place on the table of the English championship and they want it to stay that way.
Visiting the “Foxes” after the national team break, after which the players are worn out, can be a problem.
- It is demanding to prepare matches that start so early. We are not used to them. We have changed the rhythm of preparations. But we will work calmly – Tuchel said, and continued.
- You will not find many coaches who like to gather the team on Friday, and to play on Saturday from 13.30. It will be a challenge, but there is no excuse. We are going to Leicester ready, we have to show how strong we are – Tuchel added.
English clubs are expecting a hell of a rhythm by the end of the year, but an experienced strategist is also looking forward to that.
- I’m looking forward to that period. I love my job, I enjoy every day, I work with a team, I feel privileged. I love this game and I am blessed to be a part of a great club. I will work for Christmas and New Year for the first time, because we had breaks in France and Germany. But what did we do? We watched Premier League games. I am aware of the schedule, I am looking forward to it – the Chelsea coach concluded.
Let us remind you, the match is on the program on Saturday, starting at 13:30, and the host will be the team from Leicester.
