“Sometimes you have to do things”
It was therefore not a discussion round, said Tuchel on Friday (April 8th, 2022). Rather, he made his own point of view clear: “Sometimes you have to approach things that way. It’s not amateur football.” The 48-year-old criticized his team’s defense in particular. “It’s not like us to defend like that”said Tuchel, the defensive work lacked intensity and commitment.
Despite his anger, the coach says he avoided getting personal. “We don’t point the finger at individuals, we don’t look for someone to blame. We’re in this together.”he stressed.
“Bad Defeat”
Tuchel had already sharply criticized his team at the press conference after the game against Real on Wednesday evening. It is one “bad defeat” been and you can “do not play at this level”. The outstanding Real striker Karim Benzema had almost single-handedly caused the painful defeat of the defending champions with his three goals.
Chelsea have been in crisis since the international break. The defeat in the Champions League was a 4-1 defeat in the premier league against Brentford FC preceded.
