Aubameyang speaks on Tuchel’s sack

Chelsea striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has reacted to the club’s decision to sack Thomas Tuchel and replaced him with Graham Potter.

Aubameyang, who moved to Chelsea from Barcelona as a result of Tuchel’s influence said the former PSG manager was sad.

He, however, urged Chelsea players to get their act together and focus on the game.

When asked about Tuchel’s departure, Aubameyang told Hayters TV, “Everyone knows the relationship that I had with Thomas.

“It’s always sad when someone leaves the club. Obviously, I just saw him for a few days.

“When you play football you have to adapt very quickly to some moments in the season, this can happen.”

Asked if he’s spoken to Tuchel since his exit, Aubameyang replied: “Not yet.

“I think he was a bit frustrated and sad, obviously, I will try to talk to him as soon as possible.

“It’s been a crazy week for all of us, that’s part of life, we have to adapt, I think it’s a bit of sadness at the moment, hopefully we’ll get back to better days soon.

“Obviously, I think it’s a bit strange for everybody, not only for me, but as I said, this is football, you have to adapt, when you play for Chelsea you need results as soon as possible, that’s why I’m a bit frustrated today.”
