In just five months Tuchel has put order to a Chelsea that has nothing to do with that of Lampard. The German has managed to condition a team that no longer feels a prisoner of doubts. Now you know what to play and with whom. And in this context, many surprises are not expected ahead of the Champions League final in Porto, which Chelsea could have reached with De Bruyne on his part and not of the City if in 2014 he had realized that selling it was a mistake.
Mourinho He was the one who showed him the starting gate of Stamford Bridge: “He called me into his office and took some papers from me: one assist, zero goals, ten recoveries. I was comparing myself to the rest of my teammates, who played much more than me. He said yes Eye he was leaving, it was going to be the fifth option. I commented to him that if the club did not count on me, it was better to be transferred ”, explains the own De Bruyne every time he has to remember his fleeting stint at Chelsea.
A bitter tone is guessed at him in his words, disappointed with not having had the opportunity to express himself in football in London. Although Chelsea lost more than De Bruyne. The Belgian went to Wolfsburg. Only a year later, City played back for the Premier a player with the wood of a leader. For many, the 74 million euros paid by the sheikh have turned out to be small change over time if one looks at the leap in quality the club made with De Bruyne.
You will not miss a Tuchel Players of enormous quality in Porto, but it is surprising that seven years ago Chelsea failed to see that they owned a treasure. Probably the most iconic player he’s ever had Guardiola in Manchester. The kind that could give Abramovich the second Champions of its history and that, on the other hand, it will find on the other side. In that of a City that wants to debut in Europe.
