Tuchel on setting new targets, dealing with the big occasion and what
Chelsea must do first

05 Apr 2022


Last season's meeting with Real Madrid will have no bearing on our
upcoming Champions League quarter-final tie, according to Thomas Tuchel,
and the boss believes his team are primed to bounce back after the weekend
loss to Brentford.

Tuchel addressed a mix of English and Spanish media in the West Stand at
Stamford Bridge this afternoon to look forward to our first ever home game
against the serial European Cup winners in front of supporters.


During the press conference the boss underlined the vital role the Chelsea
faithful have to play tomorrow, and he also addressed Real Madrid's
current status on the continental stage. First though, Tuchel revealed how
the group have responded to the Brentford setback.


'We had a day off which was necessary to digest it,' he said. 'We talked
openly about it in a debrief, which is very usual for us. We set new
targets, which is what you do no matter if you win or lose.


'We did not like what happened, but we consider this the exception of the
rule. We were open to ourselves and allowed ourselves on Monday to focus
on the match tomorrow.

'We need to be better on the pitch, we are the first to admit it, but we
need the crowd to be better, we need everybody on the front foot,' added
Tuchel.


'It's a big opponent in a big occasion. Normally we have these atmospheres
in evening games and big matches throughout this season, our spectators
have given us a huge push in terms of energy, and we need it. It's crucial
in these games. Everybody needs to be on top level, and we need to be the
first one to set the spark.'


When asked how our 3-1 semi-final aggregate win last season would affect
this upcoming tie, Tuchel insisted it would have nothing to do with it.


'I did not even look at it in preparation,' said Tuchel. 'That maybe
answers the question. It's a new coach, a new team, with spectators.

We beat Real 2-0 last May but Tuchel says that won't have a bearing on
tomorrow's game


'There is no point to prove again or whatever, we are out to prove a point
anyway to bounce back from Saturday's performance. We want to play the
right way, the way we want to play: physical, intense, focused.'


No team has won the European Cup more times than Real Madrid, who have
done so on a record 13 occasions. That includes a trio of consecutive
successes between 2016 and 2018, and an earlier triumph in the decade
under Carlo Ancelotti, whose presence at tomorrow's game is uncertain
after he tested positive for Covid.


Although most of the team who lifted those trophies have moved on, Tuchel
was quick to dismiss a question suggesting Real Madrid are not the force
they once were.


'It's normal cycles like this change at some point, but we should be aware
teams with this kind of experience and quality can produce special
performances on special nights,' stressed Tuchel.


'For us, it's also a pretty special occasion. That's why we also feel
pretty excited. We don't lose too much sleep about where they are in
Europe. We want to prove a point to ourselves again, that's the target.
The occasion is special, the opponent is special, and that's why we are
very excited.'

Tuchel hopes to welcome Ancelotti back to the Bridge

05 Apr 2022


Thomas Tuchel is hoping that he will have Carlo Ancelotti next to him on
the Stamford Bridge touchline for tomorrow's Champions League tie against
Real Madrid.

Ancelotti is currently the Spanish side's manager, having previously spent
two years as Chelsea head coach, which included guiding the Blues to our
first-ever domestic Double by winning both the Premier League and FA Cup
in 2009/10.


However, the Italian's latest return to west London, for the first leg of
our Champions League quarter-final, is currently in doubt after he tested
positive for Covid-19 last week, subsequently missing Real's win over
Celta Vigo at the weekend, when his son and assistant coach Davide took
his place in the dugout.


It is a situation Tuchel knows well, having missed our own FIFA Club World
Cup semi-final in February due to Covid, before being able to join the
team in Abu Dhabi the evening before the final following a negative test
result, explaining it is not ideal even if modern technology means you are
not completely cut off from your players.


'It does make a difference, but nowadays you have a lot of virtual help,
so I'm pretty sure he can do the team talks and can be in touch with all
his players and staff,' said Tuchel. 'But it's always better and much
nicer to be there and have a direct influence.

'I think this is what we as coaches love the most, to be in the middle of
the room and be part of the group so that we can constantly communicate,
not only with words but also with how you feel, like with a smile. When
all this is missing it's strange, you can feel something is missing.'


Despite not travelling to London with his players today, Ancelotti is
reportedly free from Covid symptoms and is still hoping he can provide a
negative test result in time to travel from Madrid to London and make it
to the Bridge for tomorrow night's game.


Between his own experience in a similar situation and the healthy respect
he holds for his opposite number, Tuchel is hoping that turns out to be
the case so he can share the touchline with Ancelotti for this Champions
League tie.


'I hope he still makes it,' added the German. 'I have the information that
he will try to arrive tomorrow in the evening. I personally hope he makes
it.

'He's a big coach, a big personality and it would be nice to have him on
the sideline for this kind of game.'

Ancelotti cleared to make Stamford Bridge return

06 Apr 2022


Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has been given the all-clear to travel
to London after testing negative for Covid-19 and will be in the dugout
for tonight's Champions League quarter-final tie.

The Italian spent two seasons as Chelsea boss over a decade ago and guided
us to the Premier League and FA Cup Double in 2009/10, the only time in
our history such a feat has been achieved. He has previously returned to
SW6 twice as Everton manager, initially in March 2020 in our final game
before the pandemic lockdown.


Ancelotti's attendance in the dugout had been in doubt as he continually
tested positive for coronavirus since last Wednesday and did not travel
with his staff and players from Madrid yesterday, missing the customary
pre-match press conference.


However, a Real Madrid statement released on Wednesday morning stated:
'Real Madrid CF is pleased to announce that our coach Carlo Ancelotti has
returned a negative result for Covid-19, and will therefore travel to
London this morning to join up with the first team.'

Thomas Tuchel expressed his hope in the build-up to the game that his
opposite number would be able to make the trip, claiming it would be a
pleasure to share the touchline with a man who has won three Champions
League titles as a manager.
