Tuchel speaks on claim that some players could be playing under pressure owing to Chelsea new ownership

Chelsea are close to coming under new management after their former owner Roman Abramovich was sanction by the UK government thus making him lose control of the club.

The new ownership is expected to come with some changes as many are looking out to how summer transfer activity will play out.

There are also claims that some of the players in Chelsea squad may be feeling more pressure and be playing for their futures at the club.

However, the Blues head coach Thomas Tuchel insists that it is nothing out of the ordinary at this stage of the season, with the players used to constant speculation and scrutiny on their performances.

‘It’s always like this at the end of the season,’ he added.

‘If you sign for Chelsea and you play at this kind of level a part of it is that it is not always easy and it’s not always enjoyable. It’s tough, it’s tiring, it’s draining and that’s what you need to accept at this kind of level.’
