Thomas Tuchel fielded young defender Trevoh Chalobah to guard Chelsea’s back row in the European Super Cup Final.
The genius of Chelsea coach, Thomas Tuchel can be proven again. Thomas Tuchel successfully brought Chelsea to embrace the European Super Cup by conquering Villarreal, Thursday (12/8/2022) morning, WIB.
Some football fans may see the replacement of goalkeeper from Edouard Mendy on Kepa Arrizabalaga to be the brightest decision taken by Tuchel.

It was not wrong because Kepa managed to fail two 12-pass kicks in the penalty shootout. But one of the geniuses of the coach that may be overlooked is the selection of Trevoh Chalobah as a starter.
The reason is Trevoh Chalobah does not yet have an abundant track record in the Blues squad. But this did not diminish the confidence of the German coach to field him as a starter.
Tuchel appointed the 22-year-old defender to appear in the back row with Antonio Rudiger and Kurt Zouma pinning down.
Tuchel himself was not careless when he gave Chalobah the opportunity to play in the European Super Cup Final. The 47-year-old has sparked his assessment of the player’s performance in the pre-season.
In his eyes, the original England defender was one of the most stable players to perform well. He became an important figure when Chelsea dampened Tottenham’s balance in pre-season matches. Therefore, he wants to keep the player to always appear in a special squad.
