圖赫爾透露，蒂亞戈和亞伯拉罕都將缺席16強第二回合對陣馬德里競技的比賽，
但希望他們能在國際比賽日結束後復出。


這場比賽藍軍將不得不在缺少兩名中場球員的情況下勉強迎戰，在布加勒斯特進
行的第一回合比賽中我們1-0取勝，本場比賽若日尼奧和芒特停賽，迭戈˙西蒙尼將
帶領馬競作客斯坦福橋。


“我們沒有新的傷員，但我們明天將缺少芒特和若日尼奧兩名關鍵球員。”圖赫
爾在賽前新聞發佈會上解釋道。

“尤其是芒特的進攻能力，還有他強大的帶球和突破防線完成射門的能力。馬德
里競技是歐洲最好的球隊之一，他們不會放過任何一次射門機會，在這樣的比賽中失
去一位進攻球員當然是一個很大的打擊。他們是球隊中的重要球員，但我們有一個強
大的陣容，我們必須適應並找到解決方案。”


“我們還需要在沒有蒂亞戈˙席爾瓦和亞伯拉罕的情況下繼續比賽。他們現在還
沒有完全康復，但隨著國際比賽日的到來，可以說我們期待他們在國際比賽日結束後
再次加入球隊，應該是沒有太大問題的。”

蒂亞戈˙席爾瓦有望在國際比賽日結束後復出


“我們在這場比賽中失去了四名關鍵球員，但這讓我們的陣容選擇變得更容易一
些，我們可以在歐冠中挑選23名球員加入大名單。我們將使用全部的球隊陣容。我們
可以在比賽中換上五人，我們很清楚自己能做什麼。”

Tuchel on Atletico's tactical approach, Kepa's Spanish squad
disappointment and new contracts for defensive trio

16 Mar 2021


As he prepares his team to fight for a place in the Champions League
quarter-finals tomorrow night, Thomas Tuchel has called for Chelsea's
players to produce another accomplished performance against a European
rival he believes are 'one of the toughest teams to beat in Europe.'

The Blues have a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg in Bucharest,
sealed by that sensational overhead kick from Olivier Giroud, leaving the
tie finely balanced ahead of a big night at Stamford Bridge.


Mason Mount and Jorginho are suspended for the hosts, while Tammy Abraham
and Thiago Silva remain sidelined, meaning our German head coach will have
to shuffle his pack a little. Likewise, Atletico are expected to make
changes with players back from injury and suspension, making them a
slightly different proposition, even if Tuchel expects a similar contest.


'I believe every club has its DNA and with Diego Simeone, Atletico have
become one of the toughest teams to beat in Europe over years and years,'
said the boss at his pre-match press conference earlier today.


'They rely on a disciplined, hard-working, super organised defence but at
the same time they have incredible quality to attack and play a possession
game. For me, it's a very complete squad and you have to be aware of
everything.

'I expect more or less the same match like in Bucharest. They have
[Kieran] Tripper, [Jose] Gimenez and [Yannick] Carrasco back so that
changes a little the structure and style of attacking because it gives
them the freedom to attack with Carrasco and Trippier on the sides.


'It will be a big challenge for us, like in the first leg, but we did an
amazing match there and we want to repeat the same performance to be able
to go through.'


The first leg's staging at a neutral ground in Hungary due to Covid-19
restrictions denied Simeone's men home advantage, something Tuchel wants
his players to take make the most of as they welcome Atleti to the
Bridge. He believes certain home comforts, even without the roaring
backing of our supporters, could make the difference.


'We have an advantage to play a home game at Stamford Bridge, which makes
us very confident,' he continued. 'It is very good for us because we don't
have to travel, the setup is our usual setup, we feel happy to be in our
hotel before and to have the same schedule like in normal games.


'This is very, very good and maybe it can be the decisive percentage even
that is on our side. We have big respect because we play against the
leaders in Spain so we need to be very focused and concentrated, and to
play a high-intensity match.'


Spanish opposition arrive in west London in the same week that Luis
Enrique named his latest national team squad for the upcoming World Cup
qualifiers, with Kepa Arrizabalaga omitted from the group.


Tuchel acknowledged that the goalkeeper would be frustrated but insisted
he was working well and doing the right things to win back favour for both
club and country.


'I'm pretty sure for Kepa that it's a disappointment not to be selected
right now but he is our player and it does not influence how we work with
him, how we trust him and how we keep on going,' explained Tuchel.


'Would it be easier if he plays on a regular basis? Clearly yes but it's
not about personal objectives, it's about Chelsea. Edou [Mendy] is the
number one and he [Kepa] is the competitor for that so he has to be ready
and I can only say he is doing exactly that. He is 100 per cent reliable,
a top guy, top goalkeeper with top performances in training together with
Willy Caballero.

Tuchel has been happy with Kepa's attitude and performances


'Can we influence the decision of the Spanish national coach? No, we
cannot. Everything he can do is focus and be ready. This is what he is
doing and it's why I'm super happy with him.'


Toni Rudiger followed Tuchel into the media room at Cobham for his own
press conference ahead of the game, in which he reflected on how close he
had come to leaving the club earlier in the season, as well as his
ambitions for a new contract at Stamford Bridge.


The German is one of three defenders whose current deals are set to expire
in the next 15 months, with an option in Thiago Silva's contract meaning
it can be extended for a further year from this summer. Andreas
Christensen, like Rudiger, is contracted until the summer of 2022, and
Tuchel indicated those conversations would be for a later date.


'This is maybe the worst moment to talk about contracts, one day before a
big match,' he added. 'Of course, everybody knows about the situation of
these three players.

All of them have performed at a high level so from there we will take the
decisions in the club and we will communicate when the decisions are taken.


'Thiago is missing now since many weeks unfortunately, which is too long
because we miss him a lot, but Andreas and Toni did fantastic jobs so far.
We have to keep on going like this and the rest will be resolved.'

Hoddle: 'Matthew will be sitting up there looking down now and

loving Chelsea being winners. He'll just love Chelsea winning.'
