Interesting that Tuchel does not share my judgment. Grin

According to him, winning the Champions League and the European Super Cup are not enough for Chelsea to be considered among the main favorites to win the Premier League.
The Blues' coach in fact believes that, even with the arrival of a goal machine like Lukaku, the Londoners remain a step below other 3-4 formations in his opinion more ready to win the title.

"I see my Chelsea as the fourth force in the league, so we can't be the favorite to win the championship,"

is the German coach's comment.

"We have to reduce the gap with the top three. Last year we raised the bar and shortened this distance in every game, we want to do it again this year. The Premier is a tough league, we are the chasers and we need to get closer to Manchester City, United and Liverpool. This is the reality of things,"

said Tuchel with conviction.

I like what Tuchel is thinking there. One shouldn't be happy with the arrival of goal machine like Lukaku and we have yet to see how he performs in PL. We have yet to see if arrival of Lukaku will settle their unavailability of a goal scoring striker for sure. Last year Chelsea under him did well but most of the points were lost under Lampard. Now Tuchel has nothing binding him down to keep them out of the race. I think they have good chance to win PL in this season and it is impressive to see that he are also thinking highly of his opponents and not undermining them.

Why have I always admired Tuchel since becoming PSG coach, because the strategy he uses is very effective, Tuchel proved to have won
2 French League titles and also made it to the Champions League final with PSG. Actually PSG was wrong to sack Tuchel, it was proven that
Tuchel managed to give Chelsea the Champions League trophy that PSG really wanted. Now Tuchel will definitely try to win the Premier League
trophy, that's why Tuchel signed Lukaku who has done well with Inter. I believe Lukaku can contribute to Chelsea, moreover Chelsea have a lot of
good quality players, combined with Tuchel's strategy. It would be the perfect mix, so I believe Chelsea's chances of winning the Premier League
are quite big.
