FIFA has officially announced that Chelsea boss Tuchel has been named the 2021 Men's Football Coach of the Year, a testament to his work over the past year. After leaving Paris, Tuchel coached Chelsea in January 2021 and spent half a season leading the team to champions league titles, UEFA Super Cups and FA Cup runners-up, which pushed Mancini and Guardiola to be elected!
Tuchel's experience in 2021 is wonderful, he took up chelsea halfway through, bringing a team that fought for the top four of the league to the height of the Champions League, and his rapid adjustment of Chelsea's technical and tactical play has activated many key players including Havertz and Ziyech, making Chelsea Lianke Atletico, Porto, Real Madrid and Manchester City win the title, and defeat Villarreal in the European Super Cup to achieve the intercontinental double! Chelsea made a beautiful start to the Premier League in the new season and once occupied the top spot, which made Tuchel's Coach of the Year even more valuable!
Christmas schedule Chelsea is deeply injured and plagued by the epidemic, resulting in the entire 12 months of the team into a quagmire of no win, facing the middle and lower reaches of the team is difficult to win, at the same time in the strong dialogue sluggish performance, draw Liverpool, draw Manchester United, by Manchester City double kill, Chelsea in the Christmas schedule by Manchester City back, and was pulled apart by 13 points in one fell swoop, the Premier League championship is basically hopeless!
The slippery slope of the record has pushed Tuchel to the cusp of the class, especially the two consecutive losses to Guardiola directly buried the hope of the league title! This makes Tuchel unhappy after winning the best coach award, and there have always been two problems with Chelsea's highs and lows this season, one is the squad problem, and the other is the manager problem.
In terms of squads, Chelsea have spent nearly 350 million yuan in the past two seasons to bring in players such as Lukaku, Havertz, Werner, etc., and the investment in reinforcements far exceeds that of other Premier League teams. However, the attack of the injury caught Tuchel off guard, and there was no one available in many key positions at the centre-back and the back, and the original rock-solid back line became tofu slag!
In addition, there are many problems on the attack line, such as Lukaku and Werner, who have been heavily introduced, frequently fall into the ball shortage, many wingers rely too much on the system, lack of explosive wingers with outstanding personal ability, and the front, middle and back lines reflect the irrationality of the current Chelsea squad, especially in the back and wing-back positions, injuring Kante, Chilvelville and Rees James, no one can top at all!
And Tuchel himself is also hard to blame, in the case of a full camp of wounded soldiers, Tuchel still does not change the formation, and even appears James playing the back, Pulisic playing the center of such a god operation, delusional to use a set of tactics to hit the world, Tuchel is inevitably too small to look at the Premier League!
Although Lukaku is not up to the state of the Serie A massacre, his high value forces Tuchel to use him, and how to activate the Belgian will be the biggest test for Tuchel!
Under heavy pressure, Tuchel changed the four defenders to try to make changes, although the effect was not obvious, but it also showed that Tuchel was willing to change his mind. There is a saying that the German's on-the-spot command and substitution is indeed nothing to be picky about, I believe that giving him more time to transform the team will have a surprising effect!
Throughout 2021, Tuchel has won two heavyweight titles, and it is not controversial to win this manager of the year, but Chelsea's performance in the last two months has indeed made Tuchel look disgraced and ashamed!
