Chelsea manager worried about Southampton after defeat to Real Madrid

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has expressed worry ahead of the Blues’ next match vs Southampton this weekend.

This comes as the Blues suffered a second defeat in a row since returning from the international break.

Chelsea suffered a 4-1 defeat to Brentford in the EPL last weekend, and they also lost to Real Madrid in a 3-1 scoreline on Wednesday night in the UCL.

Tuchel, in a statement, said he is more worried about their next match against Southampton than their second leg tie in Spain against Madrid.

‘The tie is not alive with this performance. How many clubs in worldwide football won with a three-goal difference? It’s only realistic to answer like this so we shouldn’t think I’m giving the wrong message. We need to find our competitive spirit, our quality, and then we can talk.

‘I worry more about Southampton than Real Madrid in the next week, that’s my focus. We have to get things ready for Saturday and not think about the Bernabeu because on Saturday we face Southampton and if we continue to play like this, we will not get a point.

‘I think this is very important to process this first, it is crucial. We have to make sure everybody processes this.’
