Tuchel: My team never lacked intensity

In spite of his team goalless stalemate, Chelsea’s new manager, Thomas Tuchel, is impressed by the quality of play exhibited by the players.

Chelsea’s career got off to a frustrating start as Wolves secured a lackluster draw at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

The German, who had just one training session with his players, made his presence known as English trio – and Lampard favourites – Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Reece James started on the bench.

Antonio Rudiger and Callum Hudson-Odoi both came close to breaking the deadlock.

But the Blues mustered just five shots on target for the match despite having 79 per cent of possession.

The result leaves Tuchel’s men in eighth on 30 points, ahead of Arsenal on goal difference.

He said: “I enjoyed it a lot because I was very happy with the intensity, the attitude, energy and quality of my team, we were well organised, had a lot of ball recoveries in the last third, never lacked intensity.

“We stepped up minute after minute in the second half. I was very happy performance wise, unfortunately we couldn’t score, if we take care of out performance like this the results will come.”
