Tuchel on Hudson Odoi : "He needs to prove it"

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel during an interview before his side trashed Norwich  7-0 in the Premier League stated  that Hudson-Odoi needs to prove that he deserves to play.

"The only person who can decide this and answer this question is Callum. It’s as easy as that," Thomas Tuchel said whether the upcoming could be the turning point in Hudson-Odoi's Chelsea career, as quoted by Goal.

"He needs to prove it. He needs to play the next 250 games on the highest level and then that was the turning point. But is it a turning point if he does a brilliant match tomorrow? No.

"It’s only a turning point if he makes it a turning point – and only if he does not only do one good match, one good half, 60 good minutes, but if he does it consistently. It’s as easy as that with every player.

"Once you do this you will have more minutes. Once you have more minutes you will maybe look back and say: ‘That was a turning point.’ You need to fight for it. You need to deserve it.

"It must be a perfect fit in a perfect moment. Sometimes you need a bit of luck. But in the end the only person who can answer that question is Callum. And we will support him."

Judging from Tuchel comment, Hudson Odoi needs to build from his performance against Norwich with consistency to earn himself a spot in Tuchel starting IX.
