Tuchel hails this Chelsea player after 1-0 win vs Brentford

On Saturday, Chelsea played Brentford in their first match in the premier league after the International break.

The Blues match vs Brentford was one of the most exciting as Edouard Mendy gave some impressive performance.

Mendy did everything possible to ensure that the Blues won all three points thanks to a goal from Ben Chilwell in the first half.

The Blues goalkeeper made a couple of fantastic saves as coach Thomas Tuchel applauded him for a well-done job.

Tuchel, in a post-match statement, stressed that Chelsea were very strong for 70 minutes and very lucky for 20 minutes, to sum it up.

“We escaped with the three points thanks to Edouard (Mendy).

“It was like a cup game at the end; they took risks and the atmosphere gave them a lot of courage,” Tuchel said.

Tuchel also spoke on what he expected from Brentford as he said they play like that from the start, and it took a lot of effort to not allow them to create the energy.

“We were strong in the challenges and played with composure. It is important not to lose the ball just as you win it because this is what they like. It was like this in the end,” Tuchel added.
