Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has labelled Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea Club World Cup win as a 'fantastic' achievement and has sent a nine-word message to the German ahead of Saturday's London derby.
It's well known by now but Tuchel has helped Roman Abramovich complete the full clean sweep of trophies won under the Russian's tenure with his third piece of silverware since taking over from Frank Lampard in early 2021.
Chelsea's tense 2-1 win over Copa Libertadores Palmeiras was largely down to Kai Havertz's game winning moment yet again in the major final but also Tuchel's tactics during the game which ensured that the Blues avoided de ja vu in a competition they had bad history in due to what Rafa Benitez did back in 2012 against Corinthians.
