Raheem sterling reveals graham potter ball formation is far better than Thomas tuchel ball strategy
Anyone who closely followed Graham Potter’s Brighton team may have noticed something oddly familiar about his first game in command of Chelsea.
There were traces of the dominant but losing Brighton from the previous two seasons. The exceedingly unorthodox form, in which Potter’s team defended with a three-man defense but without appropriate wing-backs defending the wide areas, was also there. Brighton from the beginning of this season was a part of that team.
Raheem Sterling, a recent addition to Chelsea, claims that Thomas Tuchel’s ball strategy is inferior to Graham Potter’s ball structure.
Potter’s first game in charge of the Blues was Wednesday’s draw. Potter had a tough debut, as his team eventually went ahead thanks to Raheem Sterling before giving up a goal to Noah Okafor in the 75th minute.
Chelsea took the lead thanks to a spectacular shot from Raheem Sterling in the 48th minute, but sloppy defending allowed Noah Okafor to tie the game in the 75th.
When the Swiss forward was given a chance to equalize, Mateo Kovacic, Sterling himself, Thiago Silva, and Cesar Azpilicueta were all defeated in a sequence of duels.
"It's a bad result in the end but I think we played some good football at times"
"I'm playing in a slightly different role here with the manager, it's one I enjoy"
