Tuchel: It's completely incomprehensible that you can't change 5 players in a single game, the players need to be protected

Livestream, December 30 - Entering Next January, Chelsea will need to play six games in three weeks, which is no small test for the physical fitness of the Blues players. In an interview with the club's official website, Chelsea boss Tuchel believes that the Premier League should reintroduce the rule that 5 players can be exchanged in a single game.

Tuchel said: "We want to win everything, but we have two League Cup games against Tottenham and one FA Cup game to play, and these games are between Liverpool and Manchester City. So, we're not going to stop moving forward, but the schedule isn't the problem either. We love that schedule and we like to play all winter and the Premier League is the only league that we play all winter, but we need to be protected from the league. ”

"What I absolutely cannot understand is why we are the only league that has been playing all winter and why we can only change 3 men per game with the COVID-19 pandemic so severe. I'm very worried, I don't understand why we only have to change 3 people per game. While my appeal may be dismissed as meaningless, the current situation is truly worrying. We're constantly struggling, we're in injury trouble, we've got players with COVID-19 and we don't have time for them to fully recover. ”

"Obviously, we're in a very strange situation right now, all the teams are badly affected, so I don't understand at all why we can't introduce a 5-man system for a single game. Because, at the beginning of the new crown epidemic, the United Kingdom introduced a system of 5 people in a single game. ”

"We're in a situation like this right now, and I just think everybody rejects that approach, or doesn't think about it or doesn't want to think about it. It's logical for me to do that because everyone is affected by COVID-19. You just need more possibilities to protect the players and let them share the game time. ”
