Thomas Tuchel Names The ‘Best Player On The Pitch’ For Chelsea Following Arsenal Drubbing

Chelsea’s final pre-season game of the American tour this summer yielded exactly zero positives.

There was one at one point, and Thomas Tuchel found it at the end of a fiery and frustrated post-match press conference following a 4-0 loss to Arsenal in the early hours of this morning.

Despite the fact that it was only a pre-season friendly, Chelsea’s defeat was humiliating.

Arsenal’s attitude was correct; they were not treating this as a friendly. Chelsea, on the other hand, continued where they left off last season, with lacklustre and clueless performances across the board.

The boss is also under scrutiny, but he has every right to be frustrated with the lack of effort on the field.

However, let us focus on one bright spot: new signing Kalidou Koulibaly made his Chelsea debut last night.

Tuchel claims he was Chelsea’s best player despite only playing 25 minutes, according to Football London.

Tuchel was asked, ‘We got to see Kalidou Koulibaly tonight, thoughts on his performance?’ to which he replied: “He was the best player on the pitch for us.”
