Tuchel: Our teeth are into task of beating Liverpool

27 Feb 2022


Thomas Tuchel looks back on lessons of last Wembley appearance, and what a
recent tennis classic teaches about finals…

Thomas Tuchel has proved to be a coach adept at winning cup finals in the
little over a year he has been at Chelsea, although one blemish exists on
that record, and it is a match he reflects upon ahead of another chance to
lift a trophy today.


Manchester City were beaten in the Champions League final, Villarreal in
the UEFA Super Cup match, and very recently Palmeiras were seen off to win
the FIFA Club World Cup, but when the Blues took on Leicester City in last
season's FA Cup final, we lost out to an excellent Youri Tielemans goal.


It was a tight encounter, with Kasper Schmeichel pulling off a couple of
exceptional saves and VAR denying us a last-gasp equaliser, and now Tuchel
and his team have the chance to ease that Wembley pain with another cup
final outing at the stadium at the earliest opportunity available.


'You learn from every defeat and from every experience and we lost a very,
very close match by one goal against a strong, competitive Leicester
side,' begins Tuchel.

'The result was not what we expected and not what we wanted but even if it
feels like this, there are always two teams involved in every cup final
and people regard very quickly the one who loses this match as a loser.


'But look what it takes to come to a final. If you have a tennis grand
slam final like the last one between [Rafael] Nadal and [Daniil] Medvedev,
who is the guy to raise the hand and say Medvedev is a loser after
five-and-a-half hours of tennis out of this world.

'So we are very quick in judging and we are very quick in saying what he
has to learn. Maybe he just also learns that he is on the level and he had
everything it takes, and at some point, you need a bit of luck.


'You need to accept that okay, we left it all out there. And this is what
we will do again.'


Tuchel adds that Chelsea intend to enjoy today's final to a certain
degree, but tension will be involved too and that will limit the smiling,
as the competitive nature and will to win take over.


'We want to put our teeth into this match and into the task of beating
Liverpool,' our head coach continues.

'We want this absolutely. Some days like last season's FA Cup final, you
need to accept it. This is sometimes the message that sport teaches you
and this is good because you can take it into life that this is how it
goes, it's not always sunshine.


'But we fight hard to make it the best day for us and for our supporters
today.'

Tuchel on Lukaku: Spotlight always on strikers

27 Feb 2022


While it remains to be seen if Romelu Lukaku will be restored to the
Chelsea attack for today's Carabao Cup final, Thomas Tuchel has been asked
if he, as a coach, takes it personally that the striker has not operated
at the top of his form recently.

Lukaku was not used in the midweek Champions League win over Lille, with
Tuchel talking about the mental and physical fatigue brought on by his
heavy use of the Belgian since the start of 2022. He also spoke about the
effect of the spotlight being shone after the player's performance at
Palace in the previous game.


'I will not say that this cannot happen but I try to not take things
personally, especially not in my job and especially not from my players
and not when it comes to performance,' was Tuchel's answer to whether he
considers the current situation as a personal reflection on his coaching.

'What I see from him [Lukaku], what I hear from him, what I feel from him
and from every other player is that he wants to be at his top level, and
he is not at the moment which can sometimes happen.


'The focus is so huge that it is a big thing, but one example is that
maybe Jorginho goes through a little bit of similar dip of recent form, of
freshness, and I can absolutely understand that because I've over-used
Jorgi heavily because he was always available. But the focus is on the
strikers, the focus is on Romelu, because of the circumstances.'


Tuchel accepts that this is the natural case with high-profile, big-name
centre-forwards, but one principle remains paramount.


'It will not change the approach that it's a team effort,' stressed our
head coach, 'and I respect Romelu's approach to it so much that he sees
himself as a team player.'
