âMy philosophy is an aesthetic one; aesthetic means to control the ball, the rhythm to attack in every minute, and to try and score as many goals as possible.â
Essentially, he epitomises the post-modern manager.
Thomas Tuchel takes this to even bigger heights. Engrossed on the desire to have multiple formations and systems, itâs almost as if heâs managing a video game.
The core aims of Tuchel - a fusion of Klopp and Guardiola - include preventing the opposition from playing through the Gegenpress and attempting to dominate at any given time.
Alternatively, he looks at the higher areas of the pitch, wins back possession, and zip the ball around with super technicality.
The so-called âwater carriersâ required nimbleness of the game, specifically the likes of Herrera and Gueye at his previous club, PSG.
At Borrusia Dortmund, he had fellow Germans, Julian Weigl and Ilkay GĂŒndogan. At PSG, he had similar profiles, Marco Veratti and Leandro Paredes.
Heâs a firm believer in his playerâs ability to solve problems, within pressure situations. It endorses the challenge to constantly stretch his players.
Players train on slippery surfaces, very narrow and very wide pitches - which are presented with brain teasers, such as stabilising the ball with their knees.
Mini-sized footballs were implemented, to increase the playerâs ball control. Additionally, rucking shields were also used, to improve his playerâs physicality and strength.
Heâs a perfectionist. He wants power. He has ambition, but his lack of alignment with the clubâs hierarchy has been evident.
In his full unveiling to the Chelsea faithful, Tuchel said: âIt is about winning. The DNA of the club is to win and go for trophies. I am here to challenge for every trophy.â Ambitious.
His transparency with his players is top-tier. Handles the media, extremely well - equipped with that confidence and enthusiasm to be here. Itâs refreshing.

Bad ballot design led to a lot of undervotes for Bill Nelson in Broward Co., possibly even enough to cost him his Senate seat. They do appear to be real undervotes, though, instead of tabulation errors. He doesn't really seem to have a path to victory. https://t.co/utUhY2KTaR
