Chelsea changed by’London Day 2’Tuhel, anomalous tactics + control of the game…decision is disappointing

[OSEN=이승우 기자] It’s only been one day since Thomas Tuchel took office, but Chelsea’s change is striking.

Chelsea drew 0-0.

Chelsea elected Tuhel after manager Frank Lampard. In the first game after the manager’s change, the game did not meet expectations and did not win. Chelsea just added 1 point and jumped to 8th place (30 points). Wolverhampton took 13th place with 23 points.

Chelsea didn’t win in their first match after Tuchel took over. After holding the baton, there was not enough physical time to direct team training.

Nevertheless, coach Tuchel showed Frank Lampard’s Chelsea and other teams. The most noticeable change was the anomalous formation. Looking at the starting list released before the kickoff, a 4-2-3-1 formation was expected. However, in the actual game, it was an asymmetric 3-4-3 typical.

Antonio Rudiger, Thiago Silva and Cesar Aspilicueta made the three-back. Ben Chilwell and Calum Hudson-Odoy were placed on the left and right wingbacks.

Along with the formation change, there were also differences in the number of players. Reese James, who played full-back on the right in the four-back tactic, kept the bench. Instead, wing forward Odoi took on the side defense.

Even in the situation of the substitution, coach Tuchel left Chilwell and put Christian Pulisik in. Chilwell expressed his doubts about his being replaced out and caught on the broadcast screen. Where Chilwell left, Odoi was repositioned.

The number of passes also increased noticeably. The goal was to secure market share through the pass and seize control of the game. According to football statistics media’Opta’, Chelsea tried 887 passes against Wolverhampton, winning 820. This is the highest number of passes ever recorded in Chelsea’s first game.

Chelsea tried quite a few passes in their previous games, but most were between 600 and 700. In the FA Cup game against the lower league team, he recorded fewer passes than against Wolverhampton.

However, Chelsea’s ability to determine goals was disappointing. With a share of 79%, he hit 14 shots but did not score. Five effective shots were blocked by goalkeeper Hui Patrisiu’s save and defense by the defense. /[email protected]
