In football, the relationship between the manager and the star is sometimes like the relationship between the director and the star. The director and the big star are not compatible, the producer will generally change the director, and will not change the lead actor, because the starring is the guarantee of the box office and ratings, the director is easy to find, and the big-name actor is not easy to do.
In football, it's not clear. Generally speaking, if the manager is very good, the first to be driven away will be the players, such as Ferguson's time at Manchester United, as strong as David Beckham can not shake his absolute authority. But sometimes, the boss will protect the players and choose to change managers. Gbagbo Sports, such as Chelsea's Mourinho of the "second house", the final ranking of Chelsea's Premier League in the 2015-16 season was 10th, which is extremely abnormal, it is likely that Diego Costa and other thorns are doing things, in order to force Mourinho to leave. In the end, Mourinho was indeed sacked, and the next season, with little change in the main squad, Conte led the team to the Premier League title. It was also the last time Chelsea had won the Premier League title to date.
In the 2020-21 season, chelsea led the team to achieve the expected results after a lot of reinforcements, but the famous Lampard led the team to fail to achieve the expected results, half of the class, Tuchel replaced, half a season led the team to win the Champions League, it can be said that it is quite outstanding.
In this season's Premier League, Chelsea also played a strong momentum for the title, and the 15th round of away defeat was won by West Ham United 3:2, and the top position in the Premier League was replaced by Manchester City, who maintained a winning streak. Even if the Premier League home match with Liverpool in this round is a 2-2 draw, which has been thrown away by Manchester City by 10 points, there is still hope of winning the title in theory.
Against Liverpool, Chelsea did not have the main centre-forward Lukaku in the starting lineup, nor was there on the bench, while the Belgian centre-forward was not injured or suspended. It was Tuchel who was excluded from the big list! Soon after the game, rumors of a mismatch between Lukaku and Tuchel began to increase.
After returning to Chelsea, was Lukaku's performance strong or sadistic? The team recently dropped the chain in the Premier League title race, is it Lukaku's problem, or Tuchel's problem?
Looking at the statistics, Lukaku has scored 7 goals in 18 games for Chelsea this season, including 5 goals in 13 Premier League games, which is not at all the level of the world's top striker. But with just 13 premier league games and just eight starts, Lukaku's performance makes sense when it comes to previous injuries and Tuchel's usual no-striker. And before Chelsea against Liverpool, the Belgian centre-forward's recent form has been quite outstanding. In the 19th round of the Premier League, 3-1 away to Aston Villa, who was managed by Gerrard, the equalizer was scored by substitute Lukaku, and the penalty scored by Jorginho, who was stifling suspense in the last minute, was made by Lukaku. In the 20th round, Chelsea drew 1-1 at home to Brighton, and the goal that broke the deadlock was scored by Lukaku.
But recently, Lukaku's remarks about Chelsea club and to manager Tuchel in an interview made the parties unacceptable. The contradiction between Lukaku and Tuchel is already somewhat similar to that of Diego Costa and Conte. At the end of the 2016-17 season, Conte sent a text message to Diego Costa: You are no longer in my plans... Costa didn't play for half a season and quickly sank when he returned to Atletico.
Nowadays, many celebrities support Tuchel, believing that Tuchel is already the world's top manager in the series of Klopp and Guardiola, and without Lukaku and Jorginho, Chelsea played Liverpool quite well.
But according to data provided by some institutions, Tuchel has become a popular candidate for dismissal after Benitez and Ranieri.
