Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel is concerned about his team’s progress and worries about his players’ lack of commitment on their pre-season excursion to the United States after falling 4-0 to Arsenal in Florida on Saturday.
Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Albert Sambi Lokonga scored in a win at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium as Arsenal concluded their tour of the United States by winning their 3 matches.
“We just weren’t competitive,” Tuchel said afterward. What worries is that the point of physical and intellectual commitment for this game is much higher for Arsenal than for us.
“In fact, it wasn’t our most powerful lineup. It’s a component of an explanation, but only a small component. . . I can’t say for sure we’ll be in one position in two weeks,” he added, referring to Chelsea. Premier League opener at Everton on 6 August.
Chelsea beat Mexican Club América and lost to Major League Soccer charlotte FC due to consequences in their past pre-season friendlies in the United States.
“I don’t know if I ever lost a game in the preseason 4-0. I don’t win two games in a row in the preseason,” Tuchel said. “I’m superstitious but not in some way. “
Following an acquisition led by Todd Boehly, Chelsea brought in Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly, but Tuchel added that the effects of the team’s pre-season had proved him right about the need for new additions to the team.
“Unfortunately, it showed my point of view and last week it shows it,” Tuchel said. “I feel like I’m right when I look at last season and the parts of the game we fought in and how we fought.
“We have been sanctioned and the players have left us, we know that some players are looking to leave us, and that’s where it happens. We had an urgent call from quality players and a massive number of quality players. “
“We have two quality players, but we are not competitive like that and unfortunately we were able to see it today. “
Arsenal’s new striker Jesus scored his fourth pre-season goal but withdrew from the game after being injured.
“He was hit in the quadriceps in the first half and he didn’t feel very comfortable,” coach Mikel Arteta said. “We’re not going to be in any danger today. “
