Kiosk 360. Hakim Ziyech appears to be the main loser of Thomas Tuchel’s arrival on the Chelsea bench. Indisputable under the Frank Lampard era, today he is terribly short of playing time to the point that it is possible that he leaves London earlier than expected.
Despite a thunderous start in the Premier League, Hakim Ziyech has been stopped dead in his tracks since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel on the Chelsea bench. With the exception of a tenure against Barnsley (1-0) in the FA Cup and 15 minutes of play against Atlético Madrid in C1, the Moroccan international is hardly ever used, informs the site sport.fr this Thursday, February 25.
Arrived this summer from Ajax Amsterdam against a check for 40 million euros, Hakim Ziyech does not seem to have the favor of the German technician. “For me it is clear that he has to adapt to this kind of football, to this kind of league. He comes from the Dutch league, from a very strong Ajax team, but they were the benchmark in the championship and it’s not the same intensity and the same competition as here, ”explained Thomas Tuchel.
Concretely, the tactical reorganization into a group of 3-4-2-1 hurt the playmaker very badly. If he used to be aligned on the right wing, Ziyech does not offer the same characteristics that Timo Werner, Mason Mount or Callum Hudson-Odoi, able to multiply the races and whose more hardworking profiles are considered more useful by the former PSG coach. A choice that paid off for the German who put Chelsea back on track, even allowing himself a victory in the first leg against Atlético Madrid in C1.
In this context, Ziyech could leave Chelsea next summer, to play in Italy. Indeed, several Serie A clubs are said to be following the 27-year-old playmaker’s situation very closely, with the hope of recovering him next season.
The site Transfer market notably evokes a great interest on the part of the reigning Italian champion, Juventus Turin, and the current vice-leader of the championship, AC Milan.
