Chelsea defender Christensen talks Tuchel and 'so specific' Conte

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen says he's happy playing for manager Thomas Tuchel.

Thanks to his loan spell with Borussia Monchengladbach, the Dane says he was well aware of Tuchel before his arrival.

"We played against each other in the Bundesliga," Christensen told chelseafc.com of his history with Tuchel, taking the story back to his Gladbach days.

"I know what kind of football he likes. I just try to listen and do what he wants, be myself, play my game and so far it's been working out."

Christensen also credited former manager Antonio Conte for improving his defensive game.

He added that Conte was "so specific about what he wanted you to do, and for a defender that is all you can ask for if you want to learn".
