Guardiola got the starting XI wrong - Capello
Fabio Capello believes Thomas Tuchel deserves credit for delivering Champions League victory for Chelsea, but he thinks Pep Guardiola’s starting XI was wrong. ‘John Stones can’t defend.’
Kai Havertz
was the only player who met the back of the net in the battle against
Chelseaand
Manchester City, giving the Blues their victory with the help of
Thomas Tuchel
, who joined them in January.
“
Chelsea owe Tuchel a great deal, because he showed that they had made the right investments and got the best out of these players that they spent a lot of money on,”
Fabio Capello
said on
Sky Sport Italia
.
“In my view, Guardiola got the starting XI wrong. Gundogan in front of the defence couldn’t act as a midfield filter. Stones is a player who can’t defend and Gundogan couldn’t provide a filter.
“The team looked far more balanced in the second half, but Manchester City gifted 45 minutes to Chelsea and could easily have been 2-0 down by the time they changed.”
It has been ten years since
Pep Guardiola
last delivered a Champions League triumph when he was in charge of Barcelona.
About
N’Golo Kante
’s performance, he added:
“I had cramp on his behalf after about 20 minutes. He was always there, one-against-one, clearing everything up. Looking also at the games that took Chelsea to the Final, Kante was decisive.”
