Tuchel: Possible for Saul to play and I'll give support to Barkley

11 Sep 2021


Stamford Bridge could witness a debut today Thomas Tuchel has confirmed,
and if it happens, it will be a bow in addition to Romelu Lukaku's
possible 'second home debut' as a Chelsea player.


Our other outfield summer signing in addition to the Belgian
centre-forward is Spanish midfielder Saul, and workload for players while
away on international duty as he was settling in at Cobham may determine
the degree to which he is involved against Aston Villa this afternoon.


'Saul is with us now for two weeks, he has played on the highest levels
and the picture is very clear,' says Tuchel, who yesterday revealed he had
been interested in signing the 26-year-old at previous clubs.


'Chelsea has followed him for years, they have expertise in the scouting
and reports for years about him. I know the player also very well.

'He has a quick adaptation here because of Marcos Alonso and Kepa. It's
very easy and smooth in welcoming him into the group so he is in the squad
[for today's game].


'We have to see with Jorginho if it makes sense that we put him into
another 90 minutes because he can never say no when Italy play,' Tuchel
smiles.'Even if they're 5-0 up he still wants every ball and runs so he's
quite tired.


'It is absolutely possible that Saul plays for us because the quality,
expertise and experience are there.'


Less likely to make the pitch against the club where he was on loan last
season is Ross Barkley. Tuchel says the midfielder accepts his
performances at the West Midlands club last term were not sufficient that
he can expect to be a main choice at Chelsea at the start of this season,
and confirms Barkley tried to find another loan or club during the
transfer window. Circumstances, especially knock-on effects of the
pandemic, meant that did not happen, leaving questions about where he now
fits in.


'I think he's also asking himself the same questions,' says Tuchel, 'and
maybe all of us here have to be very honest and say we don't have the
answers to it. I'm pretty sure that he worries a lot about the situation,
how could it come so far that right now he is like in between the chairs
and doesn't really know where he belongs and what his role is.


'I don't have these answers, because I don't follow him long enough and I
don't know him long enough. All I can say is that for Ross and Ruben
Loftus-Cheek, I'm super happy that we had an in-house game here and those
two did fantastic and they trained very well, despite their personal
situation which is sometimes absolutely not the nicest one as a competitor
who has high dreams, high hopes and loves his sport.

'All the advice I can give to Ross right now is to stay humble, get it off
your shoulders, all the opinions, all the expectations from everybody
about the past and what could have been. It does not help.


'So at the moment he is a regular part of the training group and it's the
most important that he accepts the situation. He does not have to love the
situation but he needs to accept it in a positive way. It's not that easy
because we have a lot of players for his positions.

'He has the ability to train on the same level as the group but I saw so
many players who can train on a certain level. There's so much more to it
to become a regular Premier League top player.


'So let's see. It's never too late and I will give him the support that I
can. We need to wait and have a bit of patience.'
