Mason Mount reveals how he reacted to being dropped by Tuchel

Premier League

Mason Mount claims starting Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea reign on the bench lit a ‘fire’ in him to prove his doubters wrong and work harder to get back into the team. Mount was arguably Chelsea’s most consistent performer in the first half of this campaign and even captained the blues in Lampard’s final game in charge against Luton. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But he lost his place in the starting lineup as Tuchel gave some other players a chance to impress in the Chelsea’s draw with Wolves in January. However, the midfielder won the German over with his attitude both on and off the pitch and has started all but one of the club’s games in all competitions since when available. On being dropped by Tuchel, Mount said: ‘I’ve had that experience before. ‘I ...

Premier League

Mason Mount says he’s delighted to have found the net in the last two games against Morecambe and Fulham and has revealed how he told Mateo Kovacic to drop back just moments before the goal at Craven Cottage. Chelsea were without a win in their last three games in the Premier League and appeared on course for yet more disappointment as Fulham managed to keep them at bay after the red card to Antonee Robinson. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But Mount scored the decisive goal after Alphonse Areola palmed away Ben Chilwell’s cross in the 78th minute and the visitors kept hold of their narrow advantage to secure all three points. ‘I turned 22 [last Sunday] and now I have two goals so it has been a good week and hopefully that continues,’ Mount told Chelsea...
