What Chelsea need to do to defeat Wolves

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has opened up on what his side needs to get done when they face the Wolves this weekend.

The Blues have found consistency in the Premier League difficult to come by recently, but as they enter the final four league games of the season, they are hoping to consolidate their third place on the log and Champions League qualification when we host Wolves at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.

Speaking about the Wolves, Tuchel said ‘They had problems in the very beginning with results and then they were very strong over a large part of the season.’

‘They struggled with results in the last weeks, everybody sees that.

The German, however, feels it is the mentality as much as the tactics which has been responsible for the dropped in Blues points recently.

‘We had a week to prepare which was nice, but not nice because we prefer to play Champions League. But it was nice to have the team, to have influence in training, to set the focus on the things we want to improve and we want to meet our standards and we demand a lot from us.

‘I think there’s a lot of reasons why it’s sometimes almost normal to drop the intensity and the level of effort, but as we are an elite sports team and we compete on the highest level there’s not much room for normal behaviour. We want elite behaviour and this includes me so we need to step up, show another reaction and show that we can play better, we can have more impact and more effort in the matches, starting from tomorrow.’
