Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 in this round of the league, and coach Tuchel said after the game that the team's performance in the first half was not good enough, and the second half played well.
<b>About the performance in the first and second halves</b>
I'm not happy with the performance in the first half, Kepa and Thiago Silva have some great individual defensive performances and the other players are good, but overall we don't have enough energy in the confrontation, the one-half goal. Teams want to play with technology, but in a derby like this, it's not just about the technical side, it's about aggression, winning confrontation and performing better as a team.
I talked about it at halftime and the team did well in the second half and deserved a win, the team responded well and I was happy with the performance in the second half.
<b>About substitution adjustments</b>
Replacing Mount is a tough choice, but Kante can strengthen our defense and I want him to bring energy. I don't want to talk too much about space, it's about taking two penalties and winning a substitution that is confrontational, I hope that with this substitution we will improve our efficiency and ability to win the ball, which will help us to increase our confidence.
<b>About Thiago Silva</b>
He almost scored 2 goals, he's strong, I'm glad he broke the deadlock for us, he did well in the first half, he gave a great game and deserved it all.
<b>About Rudiger's late arrival</b>
I'm not worried about that, but it still feels strange when your player is late and has some problems with his passport. It's like the situation in the first half, we're on the pitch but not quite there and I'm glad we've been able to overcome those issues. We are competitive, we want to become more competitive, there is no reason to say we are not ready.
We want to get good results and we can do it, which is what the club wants. In this level of competition, we have the ability to win, but we still have room to improve, as evidenced by the performance in the first half. It's good that we can solve these difficult situations and have the ability to win the game, which is the basis for moving forward.
<b>About the impact of Kante's appearance on the bench</b>
He played an important role, Ngolo is Ngolo, he is unique, there is a feeling that with him on the pitch, everything becomes different.
