Tuchel's exact words to Chilwell that helped him overcome early slump - revealed

"I was so eager to get back playing football, it was maybe coming across that I wanted it a bit too much," said Chilwell, as per the Daily Mail.

"Me and (Tuchel) had a very honest conversation where he did say to me: 'You know, I feel like mentally at the moment in training you're pushing a bit too much to get in the team. We love you here, we know the qualities you possess just relax a little bit, you're going to get back in'.

"It was brilliant to hear and then it was just about being patient and making sure I was ready so that when I was called upon to play, I could do my best.

"When you've got a manager that talks to you on a personal level, which we're fortunate enough we have here and at Chelsea, it helps."

Ben Chilwell struggled a lot to start the season, not even getting a look in, but the left-back has since made himself one of the first names on the teamsheet.

This is another example showing why Thomas Tuchel is the right man for this side, and it's no surprise the Blues are 3 points clear at the top of the table.
