Champions League: Chelsea VS Lille, the 100 million euro striker suddenly short-circuited, what about Tuchel?

Yesterday’s two Serie A games were right, very good, and everyone must have succeeded. Fortunately, I didn’t support that La Liga game, Celta didn’t beat Levante, and Lao Zhang was also afraid of Celta’s ghosts. Today is the Champions League match day. Of course, the focus is on the Champions League. I will play one of the two games, and the paper plan will be sent to you as usual. Let’s get to the point now.

Chelsea vs Lille

Entering February, Chelsea’s several games involved multiple fronts, including the Club World Cup, the Premier League, and the FA Cup. There is a strange statistic, that is, Chelsea only scored one goal in each game. For a strong team of this level, it shouldn’t be, and Tuchel is not the kind of Italian coach who adheres to the 1-0 doctrine. In fact, if you look back, Chelsea’s attack has been constipated since their 5-1 thrashing of lower-ranked Chesterfield in the FA Cup. In the last eight games, only one has scored 2 goals, that is, a 2-0 home win over Tottenham.

Then, when the wingbacks could not provide offensive help, Tuchel chose to let the striker play freely. They are all sky-high strikers, so they can’t just stay there! It’s really just there. Lukaku’s state is extremely poor. With Mount and Pulisic injured and Havertz unstable, Chelsea can only rely on Ziyech, but he is not the kind that can be stable. The output player, not to mention Werner.

The third reason is the intensive schedule, and Tuchel also admitted that it is a bit strange that there is only one Premier League game in two weeks. Flying to West Asia to play the Club World Cup, and then flying back, the four fronts alternated, plus there were many wounded, and the forwards were collectively depressed. Tuchel could only focus on stability, based on defense, and ensure that he would not lose first anyway. This strategy is also correct, Chelsea’s defense is also reassuring, let’s talk about this difficult period first.

Lille is a mid-level Ligue 1 team this season. According to his offensive level, it is very difficult to break through Chelsea’s defense. Lille’s own offense is bad enough. But Tuchel will still not change his strategy in this game. He will continue to focus on defense. Anyway, in the two rounds of the game, when the injured return in the second round, he can also beat Lille when he goes away.

In terms of personnel, what can be confirmed in this game is that Azpilicueta will return, and it is likely that he will serve as the starting right wing back. Mount will also return, but he will not start, and there are not many changes in other positions. In terms of formation, the most familiar 3421 will be played, and Marcos Alonso should be the left wing back. Another important reason for returning to the 3421 formation is that, looking at Chelsea’s schedule, the next game is Leicester City, but the next game is to play the League Cup final with Liverpool. The most important thing at this stage is to ensure that no one is injured, and to send the strongest starting lineup and the most familiar formation to train with the game.

From the perspective of Tuchel’s strategy, I don’t think there will be many goals in this game, and the probability of Chelsea keeping a clean sheet is quite high. Of course, Lille will also set up a bus on the road, compared to another Villarea. Chelsea VS Juventus, Chelsea this game should be a little more dull. The concession threshold of the sixth gear is quite satisfactory, and it does express support for Chelsea, but it has no effect, the heat is still on the right path, and it is not easy to penetrate, after all, Chelsea is not in the most ideal state. This is my idea for this game, another Villarreal VS Juventus, the paper plan will be sent to everyone to watch directly.
