The new Blues boss has revealed how he plans to use NGolo Kante Mason Mount and Billy Gilmour in the games to come
Thomas Tuchel has opened up on his plans for NGolo Kante Mason Mount and Billy Gilmour after the trio missed out on starting his first game as Chelsea manager
Kante has failed to appear in the Blues last five games due to a hamstring injury but is nearing a return to action
And new boss Tuchel has big ideas about how he plans to use a player he has admitted to wanted to previously sign for Paris Saint Germain
I am excited to work with him Hes back training today and I think hes the strongest in the heart of the game the German told reporters
For me hes best in a double 6 and we can use his range of ability and skill to keep the ball and win it back
He has big potential and is a world class player who played a crucial role in the World Cup win for France
Having grown into an influential figure under previous manager Frank Lampard Mount was restricted to just seven minutes off the bench on Tuchels debut as Chelsea coach a 0 0 draw with Wolves on Wednesday evening
Promising midfielder Billy Gilmour meanwhile was not included the matchday squad
Asked about both players prospects the new head coach replied I wanted to take the weight off their shoulders
I wanted to give the responsibility in this special moment to a bit more experienced players and have them on hand There is nothing to worry about I like what I see from Mason so far Such a nice and competitive guy
Every game I have seen so far Mason cares for Chelsea 100 per cent This is the best basis for a big development I am very happy to have him around I will not stop pushing him and guiding him
For Billy I have a good impression He is a very strategic guy very high level of game understanding good in the first contact clever positioning
We will see if he has the physical level But he is super quick with his feet
