Last season, he led Chelsea to win the Champions League and hit the top four of the league, Tuchel can be described as a beautiful scenery, but the Blues are not without problems, the performance of the center position can be said to be unsatisfactory, Abu spent 53 million euros from Leipzig to bring in Werner can not play the level it deserves, the league only scored 6 goals, in addition to 8 assists, the Champions League is 12 games to score 4 goals, plus 2 assists.
Keep in mind that Werner scored 28 goals in the league in his final season at Leipzig, in addition to 8 assists, and in the Champions League, he scored 4 goals in 8 games, plus 2 assists. It's hard to say whether Werner's data slump is due to more competition in the Premier League or to Tuchel's lack of knowledge of how to use it. In order to give Chelsea the strength to impact the treble in the new season, Abu spent 115 million euros in the summer window to bring in Lukaku.
Compared with Werner, Lukaku is more powerful, two seasons with Inter Milan, the number of goals has exceeded 30, Conte was able to let the Nerazzurri win the league championship again in 11 years, the Belgian striker's excellent performance is absolutely indispensable. Abu has reason to believe that after Chelsea have two strikers, Werner and Lukaku, the problem of the centre-forward that has been plaguing Tuchel can be completely solved.
Unfortunately, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very cruel, whether it is Werner or Lukaku's performance in the new season is not satisfactory. Stats don't lie, Werner has played in 14 games in all competitions, scoring just five goals and two assists, and Lukaku has scored five goals in 16 games. Meanwhile, two midfielders, Jorginho and Mount, have already scored seven goals, and even James has 5 goals and six assists.
Werner and Lukaku's performance struggle has seriously affected Chelsea's performance, the league table has fallen to 3rd place, six points behind Manchester City, in fact, if it is not the midfielders can give great help on the offensive end, the Blues' ranking may fall to the top four, Tuchel urgently needs to solve the scoring problem of the center position, it is impossible to always expect the midfield players to stand up in time.
In the more competitive Champions League arena, if Chelsea want to laugh to the end again, it is unrealistic to expect to have the good luck of last season again, and the centre-forward players must take on the responsibility of scoring goals. If Chelsea's big four are empty, Tuchel's position may be in crisis. Werner and Lukaku are good at their abilities, especially Lukaku's ranking in the center position can definitely reach the top five, but Tuchel can not let these two strikers play their due strength, which is also a football spectacle.
I don't know what type of striker is Tuchel's dish, and I guess Abu also wants to know. Chelsea could consider bringing in Haaland, the Norwegian genius has a good individual combat ability, the technology is more comprehensive, perhaps Tuchel really needs this type of center forward to save. All indications are that Haaland's departure from Dortmund is basically irreversible, but it is not easy for Abu to get Norwegian genius, and it is estimated that It will take Lukaku or Werner away to have funds to be introduced, so let's wait and see.
