Whilst Chelsea are going well on the pitch at the current time, the Blues could almost certainly call on Thomas Tuchel should they go through an injury crisis if his skills in training are anything to go by.
After showing excellent accuracy in training ahead of the Champions League clash with Malmo - skill that left Jorginho mightily impressed - the German was at it again in the build-up against Southampton.
In a video shared by the club, Tuchel was shown with the ball by the touchline and then showed brilliant accuracy to chip it into a golf cart that was driving away and straight into what appeared to be a kit bag.
Obviously satisfied with himself, the German then turned around for the approval of his staff, who bafflingly were looking elsewhere and missed his brilliant bit of skill.
Tuchel’s two recent impressive showings in training have certainly been noticed by some Chelsea fans and here are the best of their replies:
Bozzetyp: “He does it all, soon he will take finishing drills with Timo.”
Cowdude179: “Put him in midfield.”
Mussyim: “I guess now we know why Marina and co are stalling the defenders contract negotiations - Tuchel Tekkers…”
Marcojocram: “Bro I love Tuchel.”
Tuchel only enjoyed a somewhat quiet playing career having bounced around the lower leagues of German football with Stuttgarter Kickers and SSV Ulm.
He was forced to retire in 1998 at the age of 24 due to a knee injury and then started his coaching career two years later at VfB Stuttgart.
