Wai An Yung: “He looks good. Composed and feel like a proper leader. If he can improve his passing a little it’ll be like we never had Rudiger in the first place.”
Markcee: “Man certainly is an upgrade to Rudiger, he’s got the long-range passes and wonderful animalistic inter interceptions”
itnaav: “Well worth Terry’s Old no.26 based on whatever I have seen so far!”
Chelsea fans at the game have already formed a song for the summer signing, and Thomas Tuchel was delighted about it, as he expects big things from the new centre-back.
“He deserves [it],” said Tuchel.
“He’s a very, very good signing, a strong personality, a strong player. I’m happy he could play 70 minutes he’s getting fitter and fitter which is very important for us at the start of the season.”
