Former Chelsea left back Wayne Bridge says current boss Thomas Tuchel took a page out of old manager Jose Mourinho's book.
Bridge spent three years during his six-year Chelsea stint playing for Mourinho, winning two Premier League titles, three League Cups and one FA Cup.
The ex-England international mentioned Mourinho's inspiring team talks, but said the Portuguese was not afraid to let the players speak on certain occasions.
Media reports have suggested Tuchel took a similar approach before their Champions League final win over Manchester City.
"He could give very motivating team talks, but did not do that so often," Bridge told Goal.
"Instead, Mourinho implemented a new system at Chelsea: he nominated players for team talks.
"That's a great idea in my opinion. It was my turn before a game against Manchester United, shortly after I broke my leg. I was on crutches and tried to push the team.
"Since then, other coaches have also adopted this system. I heard that before Chelsea's Champions League final victory over City, it was not Tuchel but the masseur Billy McCulloch who gave the final speech."
