Chelsea have witnessed a rejuvenation under Thomas Tuchel since his arrival in January after the sacking of Frank Lampard with the Blues in the top four of the Premier League.
Thomas Tuchel is said to have scrapped Frank Lampard’s strict disciplinary sheet and insisted he is “not the police”.
Lampard’s regime saw a list of fines and charges for poor discipline.
One of the punishments included a £20,000 charge for being late to training as well as being fined £500 for every minute a player is late for a team meeting.
Tuchel has decided to adopt a different strategy and has placed his trust in the Chelsea squad to keep their own discipline.
He said: “I have no complaints – everybody has been on time, nobody was ever late for a meeting or out on the pitch.
“I’m more into trusting and feeling the same values and convincing them about the values than setting the rules and fines.
“I’m not against fines but I think it should be something in the dressing room…. when you arrive and have an appointment with the physio or doctor you arrive on time.
When Tuchel took over, the blues were ninth in the Premier League but in a twist of fortunes now sit fourth in the table and have a chance to strengthen their grip of a Champions League spot with a victory over Leeds United today.
