“Brave and Courageous Performance” Thomas Tuchel reacts following Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Man United.

Chelsea boss,Thomas Tuchel has revealed that he is happy with the performance of his side in the 1-1 draw against Man United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The Blues we’re looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table as they welcome Michael Carrick’s men.

Second-half goals from Jadon Sancho and Jorginho ensured the game ended 1-1, with both teams sharing the points.

Speaking after the end of the match, Tuchel Insisted that he was happy with the performance of his side.

Happy. Absolutely happy,” Tuchel told Sky Sports. “I was happy to coach the team. I saw a huge effort, big intensity, and so many ball recoveries.

“We controlled the counter-attacks before they started. We were brave and courageous. They defended deep.

“You need the first goal to gain freedom and confidence. If you don’t score, you always run a bit behind because you feel you are the stronger team and play in the opponent’s half. We had big chances we should have used.”

The German coach claimed his side did play their best on the day.

“I was happy with our aggression and the rhythm and intensity we defended.

“I was surprised that we did not make it from these ball wins to clearer chances but we were consistently producing.

“It was absolutely clear they only play with two strikers so we did not need a back four or five, we had a back three and put Reece on the left side to have more offensive power.

“Marcos did not play for a long time, he was tired. Mason and Christian Pulisic were bringing more energy from the side. Romelu brought more presence in the middle of the attack.

“It could have worked out in the last minute. It would have been deserved but okay, I had to live with it.”

Chelsea will travel to Vicarage Road stadium as they take on Watford in the mid-week clash on December 1, 2021.
