Willy Caballero claims Chelsea were 'dizzy' under Frank
Lampard but are more creative under new head coach Thomas Tuchel.
The Blues sacked club legend Lampard in January of this year
with the club ninth in the table, but Tuchel is unbeaten in 14 games as Chelsea
boss with the west Londoners leading the top four race and into the last eight
of the Champions League.
The German has guided Chelsea to the Champions League’s
quarter-final and the FA Cup semi-final.
“Undoubtedly, with Frank [Lampard], we had a more direct
idea of the game, basically English football. To attack fast, attack on the
wings, move centrally or attack one side and finish on the other but with quite
a bit of verticality,” Caballero told 90min.
“The football he liked was very dizzying, with quick
movements of the ball. He also liked attacking and counter-attacking.
“Now, with Tuchel, it is more about combining, playing with
the ball. We create more. He almost tells us how the match will develop, where
the opponent’s key aspects are, their strengths and their weaknesses.
“With his ideas, from how he has achieved his teams to play
well, he says to us what players we would need to be more involved in order to
play brighter and follow his plan.
“Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but the idea of
playing (is there).”
Caballero is yet to feature under Tuchel so far with
first-choice goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga trading gloves
under the new German head coach.
