Tuchel on the need to step up and an update on Mount's contract situation

23 Oct 2021


Head coach Thomas Tuchel has said that now is the time for other attacking
players to come to the fore in the absence of Timo Werner and Romelu
Lukaku.

The Bavarian has challenged Kai Havertz and Mason Mount in particular to
take on extra responsibility in this weekend's meeting with Norwich, which
takes place at Stamford Bridge at 12.30pm, and feels that both players
have been 'waiting' for this chance and they have the full trust and
support of him and his coaching staff.


'They did a good job against Malmo when they came in, but you come in from
the bench and it is a bit of a surprise. Sometimes it is easier to start.
If you ask the guys in our dressing room who wants to start, you will have
a 100 per cent raised hands.'


When quizzed on whether he believes Mount and Havertz are close to
returning to their best form, Tuchel was keen to emphasise the extra
responsibility on the whole team.


'It doesn't matter if I think they are super close or not, this is our
squad and we need to find solutions to some injuries, with Christian, Timo
and Romelu out,' added the boss.


'We will still have strong squad on the pitch who can score and absolutely
be able to put themselves in the position to win this game, and this is
what we demand.'


Both Mount and Havertz have scored six goals under Tuchel, the joint-most
of any Blues players under the German's reign, with the duo playing a key
role in our Champions League success last May.

Our head coach was also pressed for an update on negotiations between the
club and Mount over an extended contract, which expires in the summer of
2024.


'I don't get involved in these talks and these are discussions between
Mason and the club,' Tuchel explained. 'This is simply not my job and you
know my opinion very well.


'He is a Chelsea boy, he comes from the Academy. That's why it is super
important to have guys like Mason who is always positive, always in the
right spirit, always ready to improve, looking for responsibility and
coming with the right attitude to training,' Tuchel said on our no.19.

'He's a fantastic boy and a very important player. You can see this in the
minutes and position he plays. He is in exactly the right spot and exactly
the right moment of his career and he can become a huge player for
Chelsea. I don't see any disagreement.


'I love the mix that we have. The best players from foreign countries and
the best guys from the Academy. This is what makes things special, it is
so fun to coach.'
