JAKARTA – Thomas Tuchel said he was happy with the attitude Kai Havertz showed when Chelsea beat Fulham 2-0 in the premier league draw at Stamford Bridge in London on Saturday.
Havertz was one of five changes Tuchel made to the game against Fulham as a spinning motion to rest a number of players ahead of the second game of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
“What a perfect match. I’m very happy and this team receives full credit for the result of the game, ”Tuchel was quoted as saying by Antara of the Chelsea website.
“It’s a great victory. Now we leave him with a cool head, no regrets and focus on preparing for Wednesday’s game. “
Tuchel praised Havertz’s attitude in scoring the two-goal win over Fulham as an example he wanted to see from Chelsea players.
“To me, that’s an individual example of the good things of the players who grazed today, who probably got a less pleasant decision for them last Tuesday,” Tuchel said.
“Kai’s attitude during the game didn’t show the thought of ‘now they need me’ or ‘I want more minutes to play in Madrid’ or ‘why did I just play against Fulham? “.
“He took advantage of the opportunities that presented themselves and that’s what we needed all the time, but especially in this kind of situation. We need players who are fully engaged.
“It means if you get the chance, you perform well. If you only have five minutes, 15 minutes, or the full 90 minutes, show them you’re ready to play and confuse the team manager by making choices in the next game.
“Everything was done with Havertz and his colleagues. That’s why this team gets all the credit from me for this result, ”said Tuchel.
The victory over Fulham cemented Chelsea’s position in the hunt for the top four in the table, grabbing fourth place with a six point lead over West Ham United below them.
