Thomas Tuchel says he can always rely on “unique” Chelsea player
May 12, 2021
Kovacic, who cost the Blues £40million (BBC), has been sidelined lately through injury.
However, the 27-year-old central midfielder has been really impressive yet again this campaign, especially since Tuchel’s mid-season appointment as manager at Stamford Bridge.
The Croatia international is a massive fan favourite with Chelsea supporters, as he’s a really eye-catching player that adds some extra guile on the pitch with his dribbling and movement.
Tuchel has highlighted the aggressive side of his game too, and always feels he’s such a reliable performer.
“Kova is a big, big loss with his ability to drive with the ball, his speed on and off the ball. He is such a positive character, a unique player and a genuine fighter. You can always rely on him in training and in the games. He has a big experience despite being still young,” Tuchel said, as quoted by Football London.

Based on his performances in the second half of this season, very few would deserve a reward more.
Following Thomas Tuchel’s arrival in late January, the central defender has been one of Chelsea’s standout players and arguably their most improved.

Overview
Chelsea gritted out a hard-fought 2-0 win to firmly plant one foot in the semi-finals of the Champions League. The game was not pretty and Porto were arguably the better team for large stretches of the game but two moments of magic, from Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell sealed the deal for Tuchel’s men.
Chelsea started the game slowly and allowed Porto to gain a foothold before Mount produced an exceptional turn and finish to snatch the lead. Porto continued to create threatening chances and called Mendy and the defence into action multiple times.
