Thomas Tuchel has guided Chelsea to a Champions League final and he deserves a huge amount of praise.
On BT Sport Joe Cole tried to explain just what the German coach had done since taking over to transform the club into something really exceptional in the months since he took over as manager.
He highlighted the “positive energy” of the team, which was evident today as they sparkled against a tired looking Madrid. There’s no doubt he’s connected with the players immediately and they’re loving playing for him.
You can see former Blues winger Cole speaking in the clip embedded here:
"He's been top class how he took this team on and has everyone playing for him."
"When he said about positive energy, that's what I see in this #Chelsea team now."
