UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[rendravolt]

Bayern Munich changing coach by this time is what we call try your luck, anything can happen and they shouldn't expect much from Tuchel in this critical time of the champions League.  This is a wrong timing of bringing a coach to win the Champions league.  I'm  not too sure about Bayern for now.

What's wrong with the new Bayern Munich coach at this point? Because from experience, obviously Thomas Tuchel has it and I don't think it would be wrong for Bayern Munich to use Thomas Tuchel at the moment although some people say it won't be good enough for the Champions League this season but Thomas Tuchel knows who they are going to face in the league Champion this season in the Quarter-Finals so he will also provide a pretty good strategy for Bayern Munich when they face Manchester City later.

That's right, Thomas Tuchel is a very good coach for Bayern Munich at the moment and his experience in dealing with several big European clubs is certainly very worthy of leading the Die Roten squad. Especially in the Champions League, he once brought Chelsea to win the UCL in the 20/21 season. It is clear that it is not easy for any coach to be able to lift the trophy if he does not have abundant experience and here Tuchel is here to help Bayern Munich win the trophy.

I wouldn't say that Chelsea's squad is weak. Their squad is quite strong. They have talented players like Aubameyang, Pulisic and Sterling in their attack. Aubameyang is a great player. We saw some excellent performances from Aubameyang with Barcelona. Also Pulisic and Sterling are very talented. Chelsea also has excellent players in the midfield like Enzo Fernandez and Kante. And the defense has experienced players like Thiago Silva and Koulibaly. Despite having so many talented players, Chelsea's performance was very poor.
Chelsea has sacked their coach. If their new coach is experienced, he will undoubtedly be able to strengthen the team. But the new coach also needs some time to build a friendly relationship with the team players. Real Madrid is also an experienced team. And they are in a very good rhythm. In such a situation, it is very unlikely that an unstable team like Chelsea will win against Madrid.

No one said Chelsea is a weak team, Chelsea is a big team but can't play as a solid team now.
However, if we compare Chelsea and Real Madrid, Real Madrid surely plays more solidly and has a better experience in UCL competition.

You can't expect Aubameyang to give a big contribution if he only sits on the bench. Lately, I rarely see Aubameyang played as the starter. Chelsea coach prefers to choose Felix, Sterling, or Haverts as the striker. Moreover, Aubameyang is no eligibility until June 29 in UCL. So, it is clear that he can't play in UCL against Real Madrid.

Chelsea was already in a big crisis this season in the Champions League, because after losing to Dinamo in the group stage, they were last in the group after the first 2 rounds. After that, the former coach Tuchel was fired, and the new coach Potter significantly improved Chelsea's game. Chelsea won all of their remaining group games and eventually finished first in the group. Therefore, the change of coach helped the club and saved the season in the Champions League.
Can history repeat itself with a new coach?
It is very difficult to predict how Chelsea will play against Real with a new coach, but Chelsea should not be underestimated. It is enough to remember the 2 meetings between Real and Chelsea last season in the Champions League.

The overall condition of Chelsea's squad is poor. At the same time, their coach could not stabilize the team. I wouldn't say that Chelsea's poor performance is only due to the failure of the coach. Their squad was also not strong enough. If the squad is not strong then it is not possible to rely on the coach alone to perform consistently well. And so the Chelsea management should try to strengthen the team by appointing an experienced coach. Chelsea management definitely needs to add experienced players to the team. Chelsea management should make a big fund to add new players to the squad next season.

Let's see how they are going to be now that Potter is out. I have always said that Potter wasn't the guy that could make this team better. All these managers that try to overreach to their positions will end up being too bad. You know what kind of manager I like when we are talking about big clubs?

Interesting, in the last few weeks we have been surprised by the news about several coaches. yes, as you said. let's see how Chelsea will be after Potter's exit. to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Todd Boehly kicked him out of his coaching chair in the end. it's just, I don't think in the near future. it seems, what happened to Nagelsmann made Chelsea want to use his services immediately. Unfortunately, Nagelsmann reportedly hasn't made his decision yet.

Well, the interesting part is what will happen after Potter leaves. because, the insistence of the Blues fans seems to have materialized. it's just, who is the potential replacement. because, the Chelsea coaching chair is quite hot. which means, the wild ball will be accepted by potential replacement Potter. although, there are many names of coaches who are associated with Chelsea. However, we have not been able to confirm a replacement candidate. so, for a while, Bruno Satlor replaced Potter, until the Chelsea management found the ideal coach. then, how is Chelsea's preparation when facing Madrid later.

[Uruhara]

Things might get really interesting if Chelsea bring the right manager for themselves. But there isn't a definition of this in me yet.

They need to make their choice wisely about a manager. I mean that they should be careful about the strategies and tactics of that manager. If they don't match Chelsea then there is no meaning in signing him. I know that they are in a critical time period now so this is exactly why they should be careful with their choices as of now. Their chance against Real Madrid will still not be high though. But if they sign a solid manager then they can at least fight harder in this round against Real Madrid. Nagelsmann seems to be one step ahead now.

Chelsea really have a lot of great players who can build a strong team. But currently the Chelsea team can be said to have completely lost their rhythm. But agree with you, maybe if a new coach is added to the team, the team will regain its strength with new tactics.

Chelsea's players are currently mostly filled with young players who are indeed prepared by Potter for the long term. but after Potter was sacked I am not sure if the new coach who will be recruited by Chelsea will be able to make the right strategy for Chelsea. but the quality of the Chelsea players is quite good. but the problem is that young players sometimes have a mentality that is also easily shaken, especially when it's in a big competition like the Champions League. and well Chelsea needs a coach who can build strong motivation for his players to keep the players' mentality high and also of course a new strategy might also make Chelsea players have to adapt again. and actually it takes time and cannot be applied immediately with just a few practice sessions.

Actually, a change of coach can't be sure that it will make Chelsea better. like Graham Potter who replaced Thomas Tuchel also apparently couldn't make Chelsea better. for me the current Chelsea owners are always in a rush in their decisions in changing coaches. actually Tuchel was also quite good. but because of the difference in vision between Tuchel and Tods Boehly has ruined Chelsea's performance. because maybe at that time Tuchel also couldn't make Chelsea better because there was something that made Tuchel uncomfortable in coaching Chelsea. and it could be that something similar had happened to Potter as well. I think Todd Boehly at this time really needs to think carefully about bringing in a new coach who is more suitable for Chelsea so that there won't be more coaching changes at Chelsea. because it is also not good for the condition of the Chelsea players themselves who must always adapt to new coaches and strategies. at the moment I think Real Madrid will be superior. because of the situation at Chelsea I think it became even more impossible to go further in the Champions League.

So, it is clear that he can't play in UCL against Real Madrid.

Chelsea's squad is certainly not weak. At least they are a lot more stronger to finish in the top six. Chelsea is just not being able to perform well because of bad authority. Any good coach could have done a lot better with the same squad that Chelsea has right now. Just imagine the same squad with Zidane being the coach. The outcome would have been absolutely different.

Chelsea was already in a big crisis this season in the Champions League, because after losing to Dinamo in the group stage, they were last in the group after the first 2 rounds.

It will be hard for Chelsea to find motivation at this moment. But Chelsea should also realize that the only chance they have of salvaging something this season is probably the champions League. But I believe Chelsea would have had a better chance if it was anyone else other than Real Madrid.

Changing coaches at this moment I don't think is promising for Chelsea to improve their performance for the better and also, the fact is Potter is under contract for quite a long time. So, I think it's impossible for Chelsea to sack Potter at this moment because after all, with a long contract and it's still Potter's first season, I'm sure these factors will not make Chelsea plan to sign Nagelsmann.

Anyway, Chelsea should have been able to accept and deal with situations like this because after all, the results they are getting now are the result of the changes they have made and they didn't just happen. So, whatever Chelsea's plans are at this moment, I personally still believe that Chelsea have no chance of beating Real Madrid.

I think changing the coach can be working for any team if they chose a suitable coach for their team just like Bayern Munich and Tuchel. They hired a coach and they performed much better against Dortmund. Regarding Chelsea, they fired Potter finding a new coach who can help this team is a real pain for them, they should be thinking about a coach to help them have a better situation for the rest of this season and then invest in him for next season.

Graham Potter had already pushed his luck way too much. He was defeated in many matches and even though he was appointed to raise the team, they went down to a worse level. Players were transferred by paying large testimonials, but the success still did not come. Their situation in the league is utterly pathetic. Looking at the league situation, Chelsea should have been higher. They should already make plans for next year.

The thing is, there are a lot of coaches who will actually become eligible for this. Because the Chelsea job is currently trending. We all know that Potter did not do a good job at all with Chelsea.

So anyone who comes in as the coach of Chelsea is actually going to have a relatively easier time trying to have improved performance. But of course, just because Chelsea might finish around 10th or 11th position this season doesn't mean whoever comes next is going to get Chelsea to the 7th or 8th position at the end of the season and that is going to be an improvement.

Whoever comes next will have to understand that there are a lot of expectations from him.

I think now that Potter has been fired Chelsea will begin to play good football compared to Potters regime. Chelsea is a strong club and have quality players but their problem started from when Todd took over  ownership of the club.

Building Chelsea to a standard form will not be achieved so soon, and not in this season because the new coach needs to study the laxity in the players and what strategy he needs to use in playing other clubs so that victory can always be theirs. Real Madrid form is too strong for Chelsea to win in their poor form,automatically, I think Chelsea is out and should start preparing for next season UCL if possible.

well maybe Chelsea really won't improve quickly and need more time to get back to their best condition. and I agree that now Real Madrid will have an even greater chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. but what Chelsea is very worried about is because it is very likely that this season Chelsea will not be able to qualify for the next Champions League. now even Chelsea is ranked 11th in the premier league standings. so I think with very few remaining matches in the Premier League, the chances for Chelsea to qualify for the next Champions League are almost impossible. but well we don't know what will happen after Chelsea has a new coach. it could be that they surprisingly continue to have the remaining wins in the Premier league and get closer to a ticket to the Champions League once again. it seems at the moment things are going pretty well for Real Madrid. because their opponent, namely Chelsea, had to face a fairly difficult problem at this time, namely they had to lose a coach and get a new one when the important Champions League quarter-final match was in sight.

but speaking of a new coach, even now Bayern also has a new coach, namely Thomas Tuchel who was formerly a coach from Chelsea.

Now whoever coaches Chelsea after Graham Potter I think he's going to have a very demanding job. Chelsea are expected to be in good form after Potter was sacked, while the new coach will spend quite a bit of time building the team and adjusting to his new team.

Nothing will be easy especially when they are required to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League, I think it will be difficult for whoever they are. Even though Julian Nagelsman could get this position, he realized that he had a tough task.

[Ratash]

Benfica vs inter milan will surely be an interesting game benfica team are on fire both in their league and in the champions league on the otherhand inter are on a bad shape, even psg was not able to beat benfica, they are the favourite to make it to the semi finals, i think they will.

The latest news said that if there was a speculator who have been predicting that todd was feeling doubt about julian's age. Julian was 35 years old and todd was feeling worried that the same thing will happen to him like he was getting disrespected by the players. I think that todd didn't even understand if the main problem was how stupid the old coach was to create the formation or even substitute the players. As long as julian will able to do all of his jobs properly and i think that there must not be a thing that shall be feel worried about him.

The problem is that the new coach of chelsea will be facing a very difficult situation as the match against real madrid will be coming soon. The fact that if real madrid has become the toughest rival for chelsea in UCL since a few years ago.
There will be a rematch again for chelsea soon. Chelsea has a mission to beat real madrid at any cost caused by chelsea was losing against madrid last year.

The new coach will have got very big responsibility even a few hours after the contract has already been signed.

for inter vs benfica, I prefer benfica, in serie a inter's performance is not very satisfying plus more benfica is a strong team and it's definitely difficult to be beaten by inter

Benfica's attackers are very active this season, Goncalo Ramos and Joao Mario, have contributed greatly to giving Benfica many goals since the start of the Champions League this season, Benfica is very lucky to have them both

Benfica and Inter have a match in the quarter finals of the Champions League. In that match I can almost guarantee that Benfica will win. Because Benfica has been performing better than Inter for the past few matches. But Benfica can only go as far as the semi-finals.

Can't imagine if nagelsman did manage chelsea and meet bayern at the semi under tuchel ...

It's going to be very emotional for both manager and the fans as well , but things still unclear yet just it's been rumored that nagelsman is the favorite to take the chelsea job than any ither . Champions league going to be a great entertainment this season , but a tough mission ahead for chelsea just like the 2012 champions league journey.

[Velvet78]

Manchester City - Bayern Munich matchup can be much more enjoyable from now on as it seems. Because I believe Tuchel will make a really good impact on Bayern Munich with his management style. He already got a solid win in his first game against Dortmund. They were already doing good in the Champions League though but I expect them to be even stronger now.

Guardiola and Tuchel is going to face each other once again here after a long while. Let's see which one of them will be victorious this time.

[Rabi3]

no, things are going to be different trust me, Champions League is so different for Chelsea than the Premier league, Chelsea are almost playing the premier league just to finish the season, they are far behind the top 5, so results like these can be because they lack motivation to try harder, and against Real Madrid things will be so different, i'm actually considering betting on Chelsea to advance to the next round.

You're taking very big risk by picking chelsea but it's your choice. I will still prefer to pick real madrid over chelsea even though i have been seeing that if potter already sacked, but that needs the time for chelsea to get a new coach. The first leg gonna happen in the santiago bernabeu and are you sure with your choice? i meant don't even you try to think again for twice before trying to pick chelsea? I consider real madrid to make a bunch of goals against chelsea in the first leg. Chelsea will not be able to play so well in its first match with bruno saltor.

The blues are losing its spirit after it has been coached by potter. Im feeling doubt if chelsea will able to come back stronger soon. Real madrid especially ancelotti already fully anticipated chelsea by learning from the past mistake.

It's very risky decision. 

I just learn from how real madrid was beating chelsea last season witha  dramatic comeback duringthe additional time.

i'm certain that they have a very big chance qualifying, i don't want to watch that happen without betting on them and just telling people "i told you" the odds aren't that bad too, we all know that surprises happen from time to time, and i got a feeling that this could be it, but i gotta admit that it's risky, but this is gambling, it's risky most of the times.

Guardiola and Tuchel is going to face each other once again here after a long while. Let's see which one of them will be victorious this time.

In my opinion this is an early finale for the champoins league and both teams know that wining this match mean most probably getting the title, I understand that many fans think real Madrid is also a big favorite for the title this year but in my opinion it will be very hard for Madrid to get the title with the actual team, wining 5-2 against Liverpool don't have any meaning in my opinion because Liverpool is very weak this year and they are struggling Even with weak EPL teams

[W Jr.]

Benfica vs inter milan will surely be an interesting game benfica team are on fire both in their league and in the champions league on the otherhand inter are on a bad shape, even psg was not able to beat benfica, they are the favourite to make it to the semi finals, i think they will.

The Portuguese team, in my opinion, is the team that has a higher probability of going to the next round. Inter's chances will change according to their victory in Italy. If Lukaku performs as well as in the national team, he is a striker who can bring the win for Inter and take it to the next round. Inter have to play well in both games.  Benfica is a fantastic team this year.
