Chelsea thrashed Burnley 0-4 this Saturday to concrete themselves in third position in the league. They are now six points ahead of fourth placed Manchester United, who play City on Sunday.
After the match, the German coach faced the media in his press conference. From start to finish he hailed one of his most valued players.
"Thiago is a great guy, he is so professional. Despite already knowing him from Paris, you can see his focus and how professional he prepares for every game. That's why he can perform like this", he said.
"In a match where you have so many long balls and so many second balls, and where you rely so heavily on the quality of your first touch if you win a duel in the air, it makes a huge difference and that's what he does. It's very impressive but I can tell you he works very hard and on top of it he's a fantastic person and a big character in the dressing room", he finished.
