Chelsea Boss Tuchel Doesn’t Doubt Saul’s Quality

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has insisted he does not doubt the quality of Spain midfielder Saul Niguez.

Tuchel says Saul will need a bit of time to adapt to life in the Premier League and he is at the age where he does not need to worry.

Saul completed a deadline day move to Chelsea on loan from Atletico Madrid with an option to make the move permanent after one year.

The 26-year-old was handed his debut last week when Chelsea faced Aston Villa in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge. Saul failed to impress in front of the home fans and was brought off at halftime for Jorginho.

The Spaniard was an unused substitute in the Blues’ 1-0 win against Zenit St. Petersburg on Tuesday and Tuchel was asked about the current situation of the new signee.

“We have guys who lack the same experience as him [Saul]. They all shared the experiences from their first matches,” Tuchel said in his press conference ahead of Chelsea’s visit to North London to face rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.

“When I was on the sideline for my first match, it was at another level. If it comes up to you every three days it is quite impressive, maybe a shock of cultures.

“We don’t doubt his quality. It takes maybe a bit of time to get it off his shoulders but he is at an age (26) where it does not worry him too much.”
