Every morning, Thomas Tuchel must internally thank the leaders of PSG for having fired him.

At the end of his rope in the last weeks of his Parisian adventure, the German coach is enjoying himself in Chelsea, where he was appointed at the end of last January, barely a month after leaving France.

Winner of the Champions League at the end of the season, he left on a very solid basis at the start of the year with his team, which went to put a rouste in Tottenham on its lawn, Sunday, in the London derby ( 0-3).

And Kanté entered ...

A success for which Tuchel is hailed this Monday morning throughout England.

His choice to bring in Kanté instead of Mount at the break, after 45 complicated first minutes, completely changed the course of the meeting.

His words, too.

“We were too messy during the first 45 minutes.

We relied too much on our technique, but in this kind of match, we also have to win through our activity, our intensity.

We rectified that at half-time and we were much better then ”, he explained after the match, before a beautiful tribute to Kanté, of whom“ it is difficult to believe how good he is ”.

📊- End of this #TOTCHE which saw a tactical readjustment of Tuchel at half-time.

Compliments, the German has also received his share.

"He was not happy at the break, and he found the solutions to get us going," Azpilicueta said at Sky's microphone.

"This simple change demonstrates his tactical intelligence", writes for example the London Evening Standard, while the Telegraph considers that he "must be the one who is applauded after this meeting".

Everything is rolling for the German in the Premier League, where his team, at the top of the standings tied with Liverpool and Manchester United, has just completed their 15th out of 24 game under his orders without conceding a goal.

A record ratio in the history of the English championship - in which Thiago Silva, who opened the scoring on Sunday, is also not for nothing, by the way.
