Tuchel assesses Gallagher's tough fight for minutes
13 Aug 2022
Ahead of our return to Stamford Bridge this weekend and the visit of
London rivals Tottenham, Thomas Tuchel has been discussing the fierce
competition among his central midfielders and his hopes for Callum
Hudson-Odoi to reach his potential…

The Chelsea head coach has been busy preparing his players for a tough
test against Antonio Conte's side, who came from behind to beat
Southampton 4-1 on the opening weekend. The Blues, meanwhile, ground out a
1-0 win at Everton with N'Golo Kante and Jorginho starting in the heart of
midfield, the latter scoring the game's only goal from the penalty spot.
With Mateo Kovacic ruled out this weekend with a troublesome knee injury,
there could be the opportunity for more midfield minutes for Conor
Gallagher, who made his senior debut for the club as a substitute at
Goodison Park and is hopeful of breaking into the starting team this term
following a successful season on loan at Crystal Palace.

Tuchel believes the future is bright for the Chelsea Academy graduate,
though he concedes the battle for minutes at a top club will inevitably
have its ups and downs.
“盖拉格在为中场位置而战，坦白说这对他来说是一场艰难的战斗，因为目前我
们在那里只有两个名额。考虑到我们在那个位置上拥有的球员数量，这有点不公平。”
“这并不理想，但我们必须做对球队最有利的事情，而不仅仅是考虑对每名球员
都最好的情况。这是关于阵型和如何使用每一名球员的，我们还没有100%完成这点，
但目前他绝对没有问题。”
Gallagher featured throughout pre-season, particularly with Kante absent
from our USA tour, and was clearly chuffed at finally running out for his
boyhood Blues last weekend, with the travelling contingent even singing
his name.
The 22-year-old made 43 appearances in all competitions last term and
Tuchel believes he has the potential to become just as big a player in
blue as he was at Palace if he keeps on showing the same hunger, desire
and belief.
“我是盖拉格的忠实球迷，首先他有着非常棒的为人，我们都知道这一点。在训
练的最初几周，他展示了在得到那么多上场时间后所取得的进步，展示了他在球场上
的个性。然后在一开始一些非常棒的训练之后，现在他的状态和能量有些下滑，他有
点不好受，但这是在发展中一个非常正常的情况。”
“然后在场上，他需要与坎特、若日尼奥和科瓦西奇进行激烈的竞争，那几名球
员互相之间已经适应了，但这也是像在切尔西这样的大俱乐部你要经历的事情。一切
都处于正确的情况，我们对盖拉格很满意，他在继续战斗，这就是他所做的事情，我
认为他有能力在接下来的几年里，成为切尔西一名非常重要的球员。”
There continues to be plenty of speculation about potential incomings and
outgoings at Stamford Bridge, with Marc Cucurella the most recent through
the door in a move from Brighton & Hove Albion last week.

Tuchel admitted the club were still pursuing other options to bolster the
squad and that one new arrival could provide invaluable guidance to
another of his younger prodigies.
“总体而言，我们没有要出售球员，但所有球员也都不是非卖品。这最终取决于
球员想要什么、球员有多渴望，这也取决于我们的想法，以及准备引入球员的俱乐部
要付出多少转会费，从这个角度来说，每名球员都是可出售的。”
“哈德森奥多伊在竞争，他有长期的伤病，也有长期的问题需要克服，我认为他
想发挥潜力还有很长的路要走，因为他的潜力巨大。拥有斯特林可能会给他额外的推
动，让他能够看到，在这样的位置上他要怎样才能达到我们想要的水平。目前他是我
们的球员，他需要去不断战斗。”
