High Pressing Tuchel Makes Chelsea like Liverpool and Bayern

London –

Chelsea can be as successful and Liverpool and Bayern Munich when playing high pressing. The Blues are unbeaten with high pressing ala Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel has resurrected Chelsea since taking over from Frank Lampard in January. The Blues have never lost in 11 matches with the German manager. They won eight and drew three.

Finally, Chelsea managed to beat Everton 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League continued, Tuesday (9/3/2021) early morning WIB. These results solidify the London Blue Team in fourth place with 50 points.

Tuchel also managed to carve a record after leading his team to not concede against the Toffees. He was the first manager in England to register clean sheets in his first five home games in succession.

Chelsea are indeed so difficult to penetrate after Tuchel has conceded just two goals. Strategy high pressing applied by the former PSG coach is the key to Chelsea’s impressive score.

The Chelsea defender who is also a compatriot of Tuchel, Antonio Ruediger, even assessing that Chelsea has the opportunity to be as successful as Liverpool and Bayern Munich, who also play with high pressing. Tuchel has something in common with Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp and Bayern coach Hansi Flick, who both come from Germany.

Ruediger said Germany was synonymous with high pressing. That means Tuchel clearly understands very well how to apply this tactic to be optimal at Chelsea.

“When a team can keep you playing on your own territory it will be very difficult to cross the center line,” he said Ruediger quoted from Dailystar.

“Liverpool have done very well in recent years because of Klopp. In Germany many teams play like this. Bayern Munich too.”

“They always play counter press. Within five seconds of losing the ball, you have to reclaim it. The space then becomes more open and can be brought closer to the goal.

“You don’t run more than 70 meters to get close to goal because you are already there. I think you can see the results with the German national team – winning the 2014 World Cup,” he added.
