The 3-4-3 formation deployed by Thomas Tuchel since his arrival at Chelsea has had more hits than misses. It helped Chelsea into maintaining a defensive fortress for the most part but eventually hindered their attacking progress. The Chelsea boss has since used a 4-3-3/4-2-2-2 formation on the odd occasion and fans saw the Blues excel in attacking fluidity.
With a new owner and a transfer window at his disposal, Tuchel is looking for a change and it starts with the potential of Raphinha to Chelsea.
The Athletic reports that Chelsea’s pursuit of Raphinha is due to the manager's desire for an “aggressive winger at his disposal”. The report continues to suggest that there is a possibility that 4-4-2 could be used, with the addition of Raheem Sterling.
