Leboeuf: Chelsea were boring under Tuchel

Chelsea hero Frank Leboeuf has taken aim at former Blues manager Thomas Tuchel.

Leboeuf admits he much prefers Jurgen Klopp's work with Liverpool.

"Chelsea are the complete opposite, the team played boring under Tuchel. What's the point of doing 850 passes if you have three shots? I am annoyed by teams playing handball, unless it's about (Pep) Guardiola and the billion allocated to him for the construction of the build up.

"Brendan Rodgers recently praised Leicester for their passing skills. After the game in which the team was defeated by Tottenham with a score of 2:6!"
