Tuchel: We could have scored more goals Lukaku contributed to the defence

Livestream on January 6 Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the League Cup, and manager Tuchel talked about the topic after the game.

- This game

"It seemed like a well-deserved victory and the result was fantastic. Because the score also reflected the game, we could have scored more goals, but it would have been difficult to score against Tottenham. ”

"We created a lot of chances, a lot of key ones, that could have scored more goals. Fortunately, everyone knows that this is a tough game and that it's not over yet. ”

- Rotation of the lineup

"The players are doing well. It's not fair if they don't play much in normal times and then suddenly let them play in the key battle of the cup and have to perform well. ”

'We've always been focused in this game and the players who haven't played much in the last few weeks have also done well.'

- Tactical formations

"We played 442 when we held the ball because we didn't have enough manpower to support the five-back system. We spent a few minutes on the training ground discussing the issues and now the team is very focused on the tactical set-up today. ”

'But we sometimes formed a five-back position when we were defending, and the whole team was very focused.

- Lukaku

"He's nice and happy. I'm pretty sure Lukaku wasn't affected. He has also been very relaxed in recent days and has a very positive attitude. ”

'Lukaku has been able to cope with pressure and adversity, he's done a great job in this game, he's contributed a lot to our defence and he's had chances on the offensive end.
