Live bar, May 2, 2019 In the 35th round of the Premier League, Chelsea lost 1-0 away to Everton. Chelsea boss Tuchel was interviewed after the game.
Commenting on the defeat, Tuchel said: "I am very disappointed with the team's performance today, we know what will happen at the end of the game, just like we did in the last game, we struggled to finish the clean sheet. In the last 4 games, we have only completed a clean sheet against West Ham United, and that was the only game we have won in our last 4 games. So today's game made me feel very frustrated. ”
Speaking about today's goal conceded, Tuchel said: "What else can I do about that goal? The ball rolled freely and was kicked into our door by the other side. It's the worst thing the team can go through in its current situation. It happens so often that we always seem struggling to avoid making big mistakes, so that's why we're playing so hard now. ”
Speaking about the team's offensive end, Tuchel said: "If I could do something to change, I would try it, but if I knew what to do, I would have done it a long time ago. I think the key is that we have to get a clean sheet. The last game against Manchester United was a completely different game, the ball was played more openly and smoother, the players had more space on the pitch, we scored at the end of the game and then we were equalized by the opponent. ”
"For me, it was like our previous game against West Ham, where the opposition pulled back so deep that it was difficult for us to find space in the first half, but against West Ham we completed a clean sheet without major mistakes. We had a chance to score later in the game, but when you were behind the opponent in the atmosphere of the away game and the opponent had built up a good mentality, you struggled. ”
Referring to the lack of a lukaku in this game, Tuchel said: "We want Jonginho to get a break in the second half, and I only have 3 substitutions. ”
"From the way our opponents, the away fans and the way we played, we knew that today's outcome would be like this. None of us were surprised by this. ”
Speaking about the team's race for four, Tuchel said: "Of course, we have been trying to achieve this goal, and I said several weeks ago that our situation is not safe and will never be safe. Whether we're fighting for first, second or top four, just four points in the last four games is not enough for us. We have to do ourselves well, and when the team is playing well, we can't get all the points that we deserve, and when we play well, we lose. It sucks. ”
Speaking about whether the fireworks set off at the Chelsea hotel in the early hours of this morning affected him, Tuchel said: "Absolutely not, I woke up twice at 1 a.m. and a minute from the noise at 3 a.m., and then I turned my head and went on to sleep. ”
Speaking about the aggressiveness of the opponent Everton in this game, whether to arrange his own tactics, Tuchel said: "No, no, no, we have anticipated this, and it would be nice if there was a referee who was specifically responsible for blowing penalties - they can always get away with the referee's blows. The opponents played the game the way they played, and I wasn't very happy with that, but that's how they played. That's why we can't make any mistakes, it's important to build faith and focus on what we do, and we're struggling with that. ”
Speaking about the club's current priority bidders, Tuchel said: "I hope you will ask this question again at the next press conference, I am still immersed in the game just now. ”
'Not passing the ball to the front, it wasn't our problem today, our problem today was not finishing a clean sheet.'
At present, Chelsea are in third place with 66 points with 19 wins, 9 draws and 6 defeats, only 3 points ahead of fourth-placed Arsenal.
