Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has criticized his players after a heavy 4-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Florida Cup final that brought them together today as the two teams prepare for the new season.
Chelsea lost on penalties to Charlotte of the United States a few days ago.
Tuchel pointed out that his team was not good enough and not a competitor, expressing concern about the level of physical and mental output and believing that Arsenal had surpassed them in this matter.
He added that a number of players are considering leaving and are looking at options at other clubs, urging the club to sign qualified players.
The Chelsea manager expressed his satisfaction with the gift he gave Koulibaly during the match, believing that he was the best player on the pitch and that this was the only positive thing about the match.
Tuchel believes the team lost four to a rival not playing in the Champions League next season but were vastly outnumbered, ending his statements by emphasizing the need to overcome this painful loss and find appropriate solutions in the future.
