FLORIDA BLUES
Thomas Tuchel arrived at Chelsea 18 months ago with a reputation as a highly talented and progressive coach – but also a man capable of starting an argument in an empty room. He proceeded to wow everyone, most noticeably the players, with his charm, humour and intelligence, and the Blues embarked on a spectacular run of form culminating in the Big Cup triumph of May 2021. Collectively, thanks to Tuchel’s careful prompting, Chelsea seemed to achieve a Zen-like state of humility and togetherness that allowed them to turn defence into attack like a well-engineered and recently serviced machine.
