Thomas Tuchel his disappointed with the way his team have conceded goals recently has he claims he wants his players to take risk.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel says he would be happy if his players start taking risk where it is not allowed.
This statement came after several mistakes have cost the team to concede some goals and also lost some matches.
Chelsea lost to Arsenal at the Stamford bridge in the midweek having 4 goals slotted past their goal keeper.
The German claims he is worried with the mistakes they make and the manner of goals they concede in games.
“I’m worried about the amount of mistakes of course,” Tuchel said. “In the Arsenal game the goals we concede are strange and we concede far more than we allow in expected goals against us since the international break.
“In 2022 we’ve had already eight big mistakes that led to goals and this is very untypical. Or maybe it is now typical for us, but it is strange.
“It costs us a lot because it not only costs you a goal for the other side, it costs you self-confidence and belief in what you’re doing. Edou [Mendy] knows that he can do better against Real Madrid and he normally does better. Andreas [Christensen] knows that it’s the right decision to play the ball back. It’s not that we take crazy risks in situations and that’s why it’s really hard to analyse.
“I would be more happy if we take risks in situations where it’s not allowed. Then we can talk about this to the players, that we’ve been crazy dribbling or had crazy decisions where we should not do it, but actually the decisions are okay.
“If you look at the third goal [conceded against Arsenal], we lose the ball, okay, and they have a counter-attack but then we win it with Thiago, and then we give it back with Malang and then we have it again with Malang and N’Golo Kante and in the end it’s in the goal. It’s very strange and awkward but sometimes you have to maybe just accept it and it’s unexplained.”
