JAKARTA - Chelsea coach, Thomas Tuchel is aware that his team will face a serious match against Tottenham Hotspur in the 23rd week of the 2021/2022 Premier League.
Ahead of the match which took place on Sunday, January 23 at 23.30 WIB, Tuchel said the Blues did not have a mental advantage ahead of the duel.
Previously, it was known that Chelsea had met Tottenham three times this season and all of them ended in victory. Most recently, Chelsea beat Tottenham twice in the League Cup this month.
However, Tuchel admits it does not guarantee his team can win mentally when they meet Spurs. Moreover, after so many meetings, he felt that the enemy was slowly starting to be able to read the team's habits.
"We played three games in a short time and of course this is not an ordinary and normal thing. That's the reason they will know what we are going to do, we will also know what they are doing," Tuchel was quoted as saying by The Guardians, Sunday, January 23.
"But this is another game for us. Tottenham come into this game after winning against Leicester which gives confidence. We also come with a victory over them in the League Cup which will give us confidence," said Tuchel continued.
Furthermore, despite always winning, Tuchel reminded Chelsea not to get carried away ahead of this match. Because in football anything can happen on the pitch.
