Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel believes there is room for improvement in his team after victory over Tottenham in the second leg of the EFL.
Chelsea defeated Tottenham 1-0 away from home but the German says his side still needs to improve.
“There is big space to improve. It was not a super bad game, some minutes were good, but some needed improvement. We have to do better performance wise, but over both matches we deserved to win.
“Tonight we started well, created chances, were in control. Once we scored we had more confidence and a very good 30 or 35 minutes. We lost a bit of control, a bit of focus and some important duels. We were lucky not to concede. We were a bit sloppy, not fully aware of the danger and playing with fire.
“In the second half we had a strong start, a good 15 minutes, and then the same story. Suddenly we had trouble to cope with the momentum, many ball losses.
Speaking on the advancement Tuchel stated that “It feels good.
“That was the target. When you get to a semi-final everybody wants to get to the final. We are very happy. Wembley is waiting. This is where you want to be as a footballer and a coach. Hard work and two good matches were needed, and we did the job.
The former Paris Saint Germain manager chose to play a four-man defense system rather than his three-man defense.
“We have played it twice and both games were very good. We were committed to the structure, disciplined and well done to the team, full credit to them. They are open to adjustments.
“It needs to fit into what we expect and which spaces we expect to find, but it gives us more options and makes us less predictable.”
