At one point, Thomas Tuchel was considered a possible managerial selection for Bayern Munich, but the former Borussia Dortmund boss has spent the last two seasons leading his teams (Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea) to the Champions League finals. .
While he fell short against Bayern Munich with PSG, Tuchel was able to outwit Pep Guardiola and Manchester City in this season’s final. When asked if Tuchel could have the same success in his second year with Chelsea, former Bayern Munich defender Markus Babbel believes Chelsea could be even better.
“It is possible because they have a very exciting side and a very good mix between young and experienced players. They won the Champions League because they were the best team and they had the best plan, ”Babbel told NetBet. “(Pep) Guardiola didn’t have a good plan in that final and Thomas Tuchel did it despite the fact that they had only been working together at Chelsea for six months. That he has a complete preseason and that he transmit his philosophy to the players because it is a very strong team ”.
Despite his obvious affinity for Tuchel’s coaching prowess, Babbel knows that the Premier League will be extremely competitive.
“It is not easy to beat Chelsea, even for Man City, Liverpool and Man United, they are very difficult to beat. The problems will be if Chelsea beat these teams but lose to the teams lower down the table, “said Babbel. “If you win against Man United or Liverpool but then lose against Brighton or Newcastle, then you don’t win the league.”
