Chelsea technical and performance advisor Petr Cech has claimed that the Blues need a “meltdown” from Manchester City and Liverpool if they are to be in with a chance of winning the Premier League this season. It comes ahead of Thomas Tuchel ’s side facing off with Crystal Palace in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
The match with the Eagles at Wembley on Sunday represents a huge chance for the German coach to reach yet another final with the club. Tuchel has managed to reach a final in every competition since he took over at Stamford Bridge, apart from the recent Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid.
Ahead of the challenge, the manager said: “It is a huge opportunity to play at Wembley. We need to be very well prepared to control the counter-attacks, the individual quality, the dribbles and play with the same level of intensity. They can create a certain atmosphere, especially at Selhurst Park but also at Wembley."
