According to Tuchel, Chelsea are more of a team considered a strong defensive and physical team.

Tuchel, in a pre-match statement on Monday, said, “Maybe, maybe. There is a history of strikers struggling at Chelsea so it may not be the easiest place in the world for strikers. In my opinion, Chelsea are a team considered a strong defensive team, a physical team, that has a certain attitude when in competitive football.

We demand a lot of our strikers in terms of defending. We want to be physical, hard-working group that wants to play a physical game as well as a skilful game.

We are on the subject and are well aware, but like always in football it’s not just one reason to sort. It’s a complex sport and we will continue to play with faith, with a team effort, and it’s what we do.”
