Tuchel: The team is united in one heart and one mind, and will lead the team to continue

Live bar March 20 news In an FA Cup quarter-final that ended in the early morning of Beijing time, with goals from Lukaku and Ziyech in the first half, Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 2-0 away and successfully reached the final four. Tuchel summed up the game in an interview after the game. (The following reporter's question is represented by Q, and Tuchel's answer is represented by A)

Q: What do you think of the performance of the players?

A: It's great to see them playing with all their attention, they have everything on the pitch, they don't give their opponents a lot of chances, and they also have good control of the ball. Overall, we acted offensively and defensively, treated every ball with great calmness, and basically controlled the game. Overall I'm happy with the performance of the players, who are in complete control of the game and show amazing concentration. We deserve this victory.

Q: Kepa and Jorginho didn't play in this game, is this your arrangement?

A: Kepa was absent due to some illness, Jorginho's words were specially arranged for him to rest, he had played 6 consecutive games, each game played a full 90 minutes, including 2 Champions League knockout matches, physically and mentally it was inevitable that there would be some fatigue, so I decided to let him take a break.

Q: The Italian national team should appreciate you, right?

A: Of course, they owe me a favor, and I'm going to come back to them and talk about it.

Q: Despite the uncertainty of the team, will you be a little surprised by the performance of the players?

A: It's not so much that I'm surprised, it's that they impressed me. Since it is difficult for us to change or even affect the current situation of the team, let's find a way to eliminate the impact of these storms on the team as much as possible and do our job.

But I can see a few things from what's happened recently, and I have to say that this is a team with ambitions, everybody is committed to being the best, the whole team is trying to be the best in terms of focus, behavior and mental outlook, and that's why we're able to stick to it, all of us are united, we rely on each other, we trust each other. Since everyone wants to persevere, what reason do we have not to help them?

Q: What happened recently may be a disaster for team management, what do you think?

A: I feel good, I can even say, I feel honored to work here, I feel a heavy responsibility, there are many people here who can't stand in the spotlight like me, but still silently support the operation of the team, we all care about each other. Chelsea currently have around 700 to 800 staff, but they also have concerns about the future of the team and their own future in the team.

For the sake of the whole club, I think everyone, including me, needs to show a positive attitude and the courage to ride the wind and waves, which is our responsibility, not to complain about ourselves and complain about others, which does not change anything. Therefore, I will actively lead the players to train, lead the team to let go, and walk every step without distraction.

Q: The pre-match players reassured some worried fans, do you think this will help create a positive atmosphere?

A: That's exactly what I want to see, and it also shows the responsibility and responsibility of the players. For the sake of the fans, for some people who are not in the spotlight, but also for themselves, they soothe the emotions of the fans, and they also work together on the field to create victories, still showing the team's positive attitude and continuous winning appearance.

Q: The team has won 12 of its last 13 matches, what do you think of the team's performance?

A: During this period we didn't play so well in every game, but I have to say that sometimes we win by luck. We didn't do well at the start of the season, with injuries widening the gap between us and Manchester City and Liverpool, and even against Wolves there were only 14 players available at one point.

But the team has always had a positive attitude, which has always allowed us to maintain a high level. Even if there are still some injuries in the team now, the team can only win in recent games with the blessing of concerted efforts and a little luck. Personally, I feel that the overall pace of the team has gotten better after the Club World Cup and I have been impressed with every training session.

Q: Last night was the deadline for all parties to submit official offers to the team, what are your expectations?

A: Actually, I don't know much, and I'm not very interested in it. I know some of the processes, and that's enough, I just have to wait until the negotiations are in a critical phase to get to the bottom of something. I'm similar to you, and I only learned about the offeror after the fact, and at most I knew about it an hour earlier than you.

Q: Did you and Southgate talk about the reese James call-up?

A: Petr Cech had a discussion with me before, and we all thought it would be better for James not to go to the national team this time, after all, he is still doing personal training, otherwise we would let him go with the team to the away game against Lille. He probably needs another week of rehabilitation, and I think it's more helpful for him to recover at the club than at the national team.

Q: How do you view the championship situation?

A: Manchester City and Liverpool have maintained a strong momentum in the last 3 years, compared to our past 13-12 wins. We have to acknowledge and face up to the gap between us and them, but at the last moment we will not say that the championship competition is decided, there is no other choice at the moment, we can only play our performance to the extreme, and do not let them seize our mistakes. Respect the opponent, and at the same time we want to grab as many points as possible.

Q: What are your arrangements for some players who were not selected for the national team during the offseason on International Match Day?

A: It's very simple, give them plenty of time off, let them do something other than football, relax and come back in blood. At the same time, I hope that the players with the national team mission can achieve the desired results.
