😝 Jules Kounde was sent off as many times as he was booked (2) in La Liga last season. All or nothing defender

I have a dream 🤩

Tuchel: "You always need to find the balance between protecting the path for guys from the academy and for being able to win. It also doesn't help a young player just to rely on him, and he can't deliver in the first weeks the level that we expect from him, and the fans expect."

Tuchel: "Trevoh came here as a loan player and I didn't know him very well, but he stepped up after 5 or 6 weeks of pre-season and was reliable. It's in the players' hands – I will never judge somebody bcos of age or bcos he is from the academy or from a fantastic club in Europe"

Koundé-Koulibaly automatically gives Chelsea a centre-back partnership that enables Tuchel to use a back 4 system and also implement a high defensive line on the level of Konaté-Van Dijk & Dias-Laporte. It would be a crucial double swoop to help Tuchel cut the gap to the top two.
