Ferdinand singles out Chelsea star for praise after Tuchel’s first game as manager

Premier League

Rio Ferdinand believes Thomas Tuchel has a lot of work to do as Chelsea head coach after his side’s 0-0 draw with Wolves. In a drab game at Stamford Bridge, Tuchel’s new-look team struggled to make the breakthrough in a frustrating first game as Chelsea manager. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Tuchel made several changes – some of which didn’t eventually pay off – and they were unable to break down Nuno Espirito Santo’s well-drilled Wolves. One player who really impressed Ferdinand, was Callum Hudson-Odoi. Ferdinand felt it was the ‘best he’d seen’ of the youngster, who was good defensively as well as a source of creativity going forward.
