Tuchel charges players ahead of game vs Real Madrid

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has said there wouldn’t be changes to what the Blues are known for as he charged his players ahead of their next match vs Real Madrid in the UCL.

The Blues will be heading to the match after they were held to a 4-1 defeat in the EPL by Brentford over the weekend.

Assessing what was needed in the build-up to their home leg against Real Madrid, Tuchel made it clear, however, that despite going into the game on the back of a heavy loss and facing the Spanish league leaders, there is no need for a sudden change.

‘We do what do, we don’t need special things now,’ Tuchel said.

‘We need to rely on the things and the trust that we built throughout the whole year.

‘You rely on your routines to refocus, the routines to be strong in training, the routines to focus on the meetings that we have, and to do that in the best way possible.

‘I don’t think that we will do crazy stuff now and give crazy speeches or whatever. We do what we need to do to prepare the next match as good as possible, it doesn’t matter if it’s [against] a big name or not such a big name, there are only tough matches out there for us in the last weeks of the season.

‘Now we need to do our stuff better, on a higher level, more committed, more mature and we cannot lose concentration for a minute because you can get punished for that in the strongest league. It’s very untypical for us but it happened on Saturday.’
