Thomas Tuchel, the manager of English Club Chelsea FC has opened up on his decision to substitute midfielder, Callum Hudson-Odoi twice during their Southampton clash.
Hudson Odoi was introduced into the game for the second half as a substitute for attacker, Tammy Abraham, however, his second half run was truncated as he took him out of the pitch and brought in Hakeem Ziyech in the 76th
This triggered mixed feelings from fans as many wondered what could have precipitated the move by the German coach and addressing the press at a briefing after the match, he said;
‘We changed our formation and brought on Hudson-Odoi, but with him I was not happy with the energy and the attitude and the counter-pressing.
’We decided to take him off because we demand a lot. We demand 100 per cent and I had the feeling he is not right in this shape where he could help us.
‘It is a decision for today, a hard decision, but tomorrow it’s forgotten and he has all possibilities to start against Atletico.’
