The Blues have been misfiring despite their unbeaten run and are looking for answers to their hidden hits in front of goal
Thomas Tuchel insists he does not dream of a new striker joining Chelsea in the summer and believes a focus on the basics will ensure that regular stars get the chance. club their scoring opportunity.
Kai Havertz started as a deceptive nine and missed the Blues’ biggest chances in the 0-0 away draw with Leeds on Saturday to join the likes of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic in a struggle with the his completion.

What has Tuchel said?
“It’s not the time to reflect on the summer and other solutions, other than what we have,” Tuchel said of the shift market. “We have boys we are happy with and looking for more solutions; we will try to help them.
“Overall, I’m happy with that we only look at the results in terms of how they score and help. In fact, this is a statistic in which all opponents are connected. and everyone needs to have a mind to deal with the statistics .. This is the case at senior football.
“We’re still waiting for a break for the boys to run to score consistently, that’s not true. We’ll never stop pushing and looking for solutions to create even clearer chances. That’s the way it is. “
Is there more that Tuchel can do to help him?
Chelsea’s recent success has been built on a strong defensive approach while waiting for their promoters to click with a new tactical outlook.
At Elland Road, six of their eight showed up and Tuchel doesn’t think there’s much he can coach to get goals from out-of-form strikers.
“It’s not so much about the coaches they have but it’s in their blood [to score]; it’s in their approach to this game, ”he said.
“Timo is clearly one of those guys who has always set a lot of goals and defined himself as the man who has the final touch on the field. This is a unique character and setting. It is a sensitive situation.
“I think it’s not important who coaches them to design their minds for goals but we’re here to help everyone and at this point it’s important to keep them focused on their goals. process and their assistance.
“It’s not just looking at the result, whether the ball is in or not, it’s the process that matters and can help you escape the pressure they are under. They should ask themselves if my decision is good, if my approach is good, if my vision is clear enough.
“If you focus on those points, hit the ball well and the result will take care of itself. That means you’ll soon get the back of the net. If you hit the ball, close your eyes and hope for the love of God, then that is what we seek to fulfill and help.
“Of course, we have a few exercises in training to finish but it’s clear that you can train, show videos but, in the end, a fighter just has to score. That’s what you need for confidence and there is no place for that. “
