JAKARTA - Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel praised the mentality of his team when they beat Leicester City with a score of 2-1 in week 4 of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge Stadium, London, Saturday, August 27.
Reported the club's official website as quoted via Antara, Chelsea started the game strong, but lost the rhythm and in the end they had to play with 10 players when Conor Gallagher received a second red card.
"We were in full control for the first 20 or 25 minutes. We had a huge opportunity with Ruben (Loftus-Cheek) and penalties, which were a bit offside but looked very strange on our mobile devices," Tuchel said.
"Then suddenly you are left behind by one player and after a corner for us, a good chance to score with a set ball. We were careless again at the dead ball and conceded a counterattack," he continued.
"It was a bad decision from Conor and it gave you a huge loss in these conditions, where we came from defeat and it was very hot."
The German assessed that his team was able to rise by scoring two goals through Raheem Sterling, but they had to concede one goal which he thought was unnecessary.
Tuchel explained that he was happy that Raheem Sterling was able to show his spurs by picking up two goals in this match.
"That's necessary because we need him (Sterling) to score. That's what he did and he's going to score. I can feel he's not happy because he wants to score more and have more chances," concluded Tuchel.
