The Lukaku interview incident continued to ferment, and head coach Tuchel was also deeply involved. Chelsea bought a striker for 115 million euros, but Tuchel simply abandoned, although it may be the intention of the club's top brass, but it still put a lot of pressure on Tuchel, after all, the team failed to win the game. Tuchel stepped forward to explain that "Lukaku's decision not to be included in the tournament squad was not his own decision, but consulted with several senior players. ”
Just as everyone was discussing who would apologize first, an English media outlet updated the odds for the head coach of the league, with Chelsea manager Tuchel actually in third place. In no. 1 is Everton's head coach Benister, and no. 2 is Watford's manager Ranieri, both of whom are relatively well-known managers, but now the team is not doing well, which is the main reason why they are high in the class rankings.
Is Tuchel in third place because of his poor results? Apparently not. After the start of this season, Chelsea once led the Premier League table, but was later overtaken by Manchester City due to player injuries and other issues, and now although it is 10 points behind Manchester City, there is little hope of winning the title, but it is still firmly in the second place in the Premier League. The Champions League successfully reached the round of 16, and the double-line performance was not bad. Taking over Chelsea in the middle of three seasons not only brought Chelsea to 4th place in the league, but also led Chelsea to the Champions League.
Second in the league, the Champions League reached the round of 16, which is not bad. Although Chelsea have higher goals, the club's squad strength is still a little worse than Manchester City, and it is normal to be behind Manchester City in the league. Since it is not because of grades, is it because of the abandonment of Lukaku? The answer is clearly not either. Tuchel explained clearly: not to let Lukaku into the big list is not his own decision, this is obviously the meaning of the club executives, Tuchel is just executing, so the club executives will certainly not fire Tuchel because of Lukaku's matter.
Not because of poor results, nor because of the Lukaku incident, so why does the media feel that Chelsea's firing of Tuchel is getting more and more likely? In fact, this has a lot to do with Tuchel's personality. Tuchel's personality is more reclusive, and he has had conflicts with management and players when he was coaching At Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain. While coaching Paris Saint-Germain, he had conflicts with Kylian kyliant Kylian and Leonardo, which eventually led to his dismissal.
Now, as is the case at Chelsea, Tuchel has not had a very good relationship with some players in the dressing room. Lukaku is just a typical example, and there are some players who also have conflicts with Tuchel, such as Abraham, who has moved to Rome. Abraham was not reused under Tuchel, but after arriving in Rome, he performed well, which shows that Tuchel also had certain problems in the use of people.
In addition, Tuchel has also publicly shelled the Premier League official, which can easily attract unfair penalties on the pitch for Chelsea. Tuchel, a man who manages the dressing room poorly and dares to speak, is very similar to Mourinho. Mourinho was full of contradictions with players such as Pogba, coupled with the Targeting of the Premier League, so that Manchester United had to sack Mourinho. Chelsea's results are ok now, and if there are problems with the results, such as the Champions League can not reach the quarterfinals, then Tuchel is really likely to be sacked.
Chelsea have a tradition of firing their employers' coaches, carlo Ancelotti, Mourinho, Conte, Lampard and other famous managers have been sacked by Chelsea, so it is difficult for Tuchel to escape this fate. The manager who coached Chelsea had a hard time breaking up peacefully with the club. Coupled with Tuchel's personality, coaching a team for a long time is bound to cause turmoil in the dressing room, and it is normal to be fired at that time.
