Chelsea’s poor season continues and they suffered defeat in their Champions League opener. Tuchel looked angry after the game when he was talking to the media (h/t Football.London).
Chelsea lost to Dinamo Zagreb 1-0 last night and it might affect their UCL chances because tough games are still in wait. Mislav Orsic’s 13th-minute strike assured three points for Dinamo Zagreb.
The English side never looked like scoring apart from the last five minutes when Reece James hit the post. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a forgettable debut, but he wasn’t given much service to make the difference in the opposition box.
Talking about the game, here’s an angry Tuchel (h/t Football.London): I’m angry with myself and I’m angry with our performance. This is a huge underperformance from all of us. It’s not precise enough, it’s not clinical enough, it’s not aggressive enough. It’s not determined enough and not enough individually and not enough as a team and that’s why we lose this game.
After a defeat against Southampton last midweek, Chelsea showed some spark against West Ham United despite going a goal down and winning the game.
With regards to this Champions League group, losing the first game is not a disaster by any stretch of the imagination. But, the next game becomes highly important which is against RB Salzburg at Stamford Bridge next Wednesday.
