UCL: Tuchel reacts as Chelsea concedes goal vs Zenit
Chelsea manager and Germany international Thomas Tuchel has reacted as the Blues considered three goals to Russian club Zenit in the UCL.
The Blues had the early lead, but the game went on to end in a 3-3 draw as the two sides shared the points.
This means Chelsea finished at the second spot in their group behind Juventus and would now have to face a tougher side in the round of 16.
Reacting to the Blues performance and irritated Tuchel said, “If you coach Chelsea and we concede six goals in two matches … we gave four times the lead away in these two matches […] Nobody can be happy today, and nobody can be happy in West Ham. So it’s absolutely not the moment to talk about individual performances, about whether we are happy or not happy, nobody can be happy.”
“We had a very good first 15 minutes and then we stopped doing the things we did in the first 15 minutes. I had the feeling, and it’s my opinion, that when we are in charge, when we are the better team, we are forgetting why we are the better team. The investment, the level of concentration, the level of physical investment was higher enough to be the better team.”
