Tuchel: Nobody in the squad realizes that Romelu Lukaku is unhappy and we're going to keep pushing ourselves forward

Live bar December 31 news At 0:30 a.m. Beijing time on January 3, the 21st round of the 2021-22 Premier League season, Chelsea will sit at Stamford Bridge Stadium to meet Liverpool. Before the game, Blues manager Tuchel attended a press conference and he talked about some of the current situation of the team. Tuchel said he did not know why Lukaku said in an interview that he wanted to return to Inter.

Interview with Lukaku

Tuchel: "Of course we don't like it, it brings unnecessary noise and doesn't help, and we don't want to cause more trouble than we actually do. It's easy to take his words out of context, shorten their lines, make headlines, but then you realize that things aren't that bad. ”

Should this matter be resolved internally?

Tuchel: "If that means anything, then yes, we'll fix it internally, of course. ”

Does Lukaku want to return to Inter?

Tuchel: "Like I said, that's what you take literally, and in general, it's easy to get out of context and make headlines out of context to get attention, and I fully understand that." That's why it makes so much noise, but we're not here to read the headlines. We can take the time to try to understand what's going on, because that interview doesn't reflect Lukaku's day-to-day work, attitudes and behaviors at Cobham. ”

About the team's injuries

Tuchel: "Chilwell had surgery and we want him all the best and it looks like he's finished this season. Reece James has a hamstring injury, some muscle problems, and we'll have to check him later, and today's results will be clearer. ”

Let's talk about Lukaku

Tuchel: "If you're a big player like Lukaku, then your every move is amplified and he should know that, when he sends that message, what it means. When we win, everything becomes easy. ”

This weekend's race introduces safe standing stands

Tuchel: "Safety comes first, we're used to it in Germany, and in those big stadiums, there are fans who stand and watch, which is a very traditional thing and safe at the same time. Hopefully this will give us an extra boost because we absolutely need the fans to be at their best. ”

If you can't beat Liverpool, the title race is over?

Tuchel: "I would say never give up on anything, why do we stop competing in the middle?" There's another reason we don't think about these things, and I know you guys think a lot about the title race, but we never give up halfway. ”

Regarding Gilmour's loan, consider bringing him back?

Tuchel: "Frankly, I haven't thought about it yet, we don't even have a full week to talk about these things, and I don't have a clear idea at the moment. ”

Let's talk about Lukaku

Tuchel: "The dressing room may not always be harmonious, and sometimes being on the brink of discord is a good thing. In Lukaku's case, I don't think anyone in this building realises he's unhappy, I don't know why he did it, that's all I can say. ”

Team spirit in difficult situations

Tuchel: "We were disappointed and angry, I myself was angry about the situation, the outcome and the referee's decision. We have a feeling that we're putting in a lot, that we're constantly pushing ourselves, like we're constantly squeezing lemons, expecting to squeeze out fresh juice. ”
