“We took the choice for Marcos in a game where we played with five [defenders] because he was more familiar with the position, he played under Antonio Conte and we opted for him for his strengths in the air, to defend and attack set pieces. Said Tuchel

“Marcos did a very good match and scored the decisive goal [against Burnley] and from there it was hard to come back.

“I had a talk with him before the Tottenham match and told him, “You have to trust me now, I see the potential, I see your talent”.
