Thomas Tuchel revealed the full Chelsea squad to Real Madrid when doing their showdown, it was like...
Chelsea will expect to enter the UEFA Champions League final for the first time since 2012 and sign Manchester City against Real Madrid at 8 p.m. tonight.
The Blues beat London Wester Fulham 2-0 on Saturday, which strengthened the top four in the season. They know that after Spain lost the first game 1-1 last week, tonight's clean court was enough to finish the work.
A draw at Alfredo Distavanaugh Stadium ensured Chelsea's entry into the driver's seat tonight after Christian Prisić scored a huge away goal. However, after Karim Benzema's amazing fate ensured Madrid's return to the tie, brief attention would pay a high price to the Blues.
Tutcher said at a pre-match press conference that it's important. It's a semi-final, stressful, it's a knockout match.
This is the second leg, the decisive leg, so it is absolutely necessary with a certain degree of faith and self-confidence. Otherwise, we won't have a chance to play against a team like Real Madrid.
It's better to bring a team with almost full players, with good figure, good performance and good leg performance.
So now everything is open to the second grade.
I'm glad we can beat Fulham between the two, so we have nothing to worry about and nothing to regret.
Today is a time to enjoy training and prepare for tomorrow.
Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane almost drove alongside Chelsea in the leg game, abandoning his usual 4-3-3 system and choosing 3-5-2. He returned to 4-3-3 in the weekend game against Osasuna, which means that what he will do at Stamford Bridge remains to be seen.
For Tutchell, however, all this depends on the availability of Sergio Ramos and Ferrand Mendy.
Therefore, in the semi-finals of the Champions League, this is not about formation, but about Real Madrid's performance, but about how we play, how strong we are, how confident we are brave enough, whether we are brave enough, and how we play in the top league in the formation.
So this has always been a tactical choice, but in these large games, it is not so much a team and a combination as a personal tactical behavior.
Tutcher is very good news on the injury front tonight, confirming that Matteo Kovacić is the only absent player, which means that Antonio Rudig will return after missing his victory over Fulham on Saturday.
Although the German is ready to play, he will wear protective clothing to do this. I think Tony (Rudiger) will wear masks because he trained in masks yesterday (Monday).
Everyone else is training today, so I hope we won't have new injuries today, which means that everyone has a vacancy except Matteo Kovacić.
This means that Toucher may face a difficult call in deciding his defensive trio, and Kurt Zuma, Tiago Silva and Andreas Christensen all contributed to Saub on weekends. But as Rudig prepares for the market, one of the three people may withdraw.
Elsewhere, Tuchel will make a difficult decision at the top of the court, and Prisic will urge him to recall. Given that Havertz's support for the Kotags and Timo Werner is constantly fighting for the ball, Haftz can queue up because the fake nines replaced Werner.
