圖赫爾：科瓦契奇無法出戰曼城

2021.05.07


圖赫爾確認科瓦契奇將因傷將缺席週末對陣曼城的比賽。

上個月歐冠四分之一決賽對陣波爾圖時，科瓦契奇受到了傷病的困擾。圖赫爾在
賽前新聞發布會上證實，明天作客伊提哈德球場的比賽對他來說太快了。圖赫爾補充
道，科瓦契奇仍然是我們唯一缺席的球員。


“球隊的傷病名單上沒有太大的變化，”圖赫爾說，“今天晚些時候我們還要進
行訓練，情況可能會有所改變，但現在除了科瓦契奇，每個人都準備好了。”

科瓦契奇會錯過伊提哈德之旅


“不幸的是，科瓦契奇仍然不能參加比賽。我們希望他能在對陣阿森納的比賽中
復出，然後出戰在溫布利球場進行的足總盃對陣萊斯特城的決賽。和阿森納的比賽很
有希望，但明天他肯定會缺席，其他人都可以參加明天的比賽。”


藍軍在溫布利的足總盃半決賽中擊敗了曼城，這是我們最近一次與瓜迪奧拉的球
隊相遇，而明天的相遇就像是五月底歐冠決賽的綵排。


切爾西在溫布利球場對陣曼城的比賽給人留下了深刻的印象，圖赫爾被問到在明
天在曼徹斯特的比賽中是否會採用同樣的戰術。圖赫爾並沒有透露太多，但他暗示我
們將在週中戰勝皇家馬德里後看到球隊的變化。


“我們還沒有完全決定，”圖赫爾談到明天的戰術計劃時說，“我們少了一天的
恢復時間，這是一場客場比賽，我們今天要前往客場，這是這個賽季的關鍵比賽。”

“我想我們需要一些新的球員，一些想要在關鍵比賽中展示自己實力的人。我不
知道是否會有新的戰術。我還沒決定。我得看看今天訓練，然後決定誰能上場，我們
很可能會看到一些變化。”

Tuchel rules one out against City and hints at making changes - 07 May 2021

Tuchel calls for 'complete focus'

07 May 2021


Thomas Tuchel has urged his players to put the joy of our Champions League
semi-final victory out of their minds to focus on tomorrow's Premier
League fixture against Manchester City, which he feels could be our
toughest match so far.

In one of the scheduling quirks that the football calendar throws up from
time to time, our next opponents are the same side we will meet in the
Champions League final, following our win over Real Madrid on Wednesday
evening.


However, Tuchel is just looking at this Premier League game with
Manchester City and it's own importance, not as a dress rehearsal for the
Champions League final.


The game will bring its own challenges, with the Citizens knowing that
they can be crowned English champions on Saturday and the scheduling that
worked in our favour for our FA Cup semi-final win over them going against
us this time around.


'The possibility that they can become champions if they win against us
will not lower their ambitions and determination,' Tuchel pointed out.
'They have one more day to recover, they don't have to travel, which gives
them a bit the upper hand.


'We saw how crucial that can be in these days when they arrived at Wembley
in the semi-final and we had one more day, we had two games in London and
they had to travel from Dortmund and then again to London. I had the
feeling on the sideline that it gave us a bit of the upper hand.

'I think that the final in Istanbul will be pretty unique, no matter what
the score is tomorrow. Both teams will reflect enough for this special
game in Istanbul to be able to turn around any result tomorrow.


'So I try to prepare for it in a normal way. The challenge right now is to
get the tiredness out of our legs and out of our brains to get refocused.
The big challenge is also to forget Wednesday because it will not help us
on the pitch tomorrow. We should remember our performance and what we put
into this game, but forget all the praise, forget the result and start
again new.'


Tuchel also admitted that even without any of those factors coming into
play, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side are arguably the toughest
opponents in Europe at the moment, even if we have already shown we have
the ability to beat them in the FA Cup semi-finals.


'If you play against Pep you know the most difficult games have arrived,
because he is the coach of the best teams in Europe and he leaves his
footprint and his style of play. It is full of courage and full of quality
and full of flexibility. His teams are always super hungry to win, he
transforms any team into a winning machine.


'They are the benchmark of this league. It's a big gap but like we did in
the semi-final, it's up to us to close the gap for 90 minutes and then we
will do the same thing in the final. When you arrive against Pep the level
is high and you need to be on your very best coaching level to push your
team to full confidence and to hopefully play on the best level, because
they are used to winning, their team are very regular at the highest level
and it is another big challenge tomorrow.

Hakim Ziyech's goal gave us a 1-0 win over Man City in the FA Cup
semi-finals


'It was the same in the semi-final, we knew that this is maybe the
toughest opponent right now in Europe that you can play. You never want to
admit that there is a gap, but if you feel you play a team like City which
is the benchmark in the league, the goal is to close the gap for 90
minutes because this is what you can do in football and exactly what we
did at Wembley.


'Now it's a league game, they can be champions, they have one more day
recovery, so it's a big challenge for us. But this is why we are here and
everybody who will play for Chelsea tomorrow will be completely focused
and determined to grab the best result possible at the Etihad.'


Two players who will be on opposing sides tomorrow, Mason Mount and Phil
Foden, have both been earning plenty of praise for their performances in
the Champions League and Premier League recently, and Tuchel sees
similarities in their talent and mentality.


'They are the outstanding examples at the moment of how good young players
can be, and how good young players from England can be,' he added. 'I
cannot speak for Phil Foden because he's not my player, but you see
clearly the talent and desire and ability to decide any game at any level.
So he's a huge player and he gives me the impression that he is the same
nice guy, the same clear character, like Mason.

Tuchel says Mount and Foden are great examples of the attitude young
players need


'I have spoken about Mason many times. He's outstanding and he has the
full package in terms of mentality, of being humble, of work ethic and of
course talent. They are absolutely reliable on the highest level and most
importantly they are hungry and humble and they behave exactly how you
want players to behave at this age. They want to learn, they want to get
better and it seems like they don't feel the pressure, which is pretty
amazing.'

'We have to fight their unique consistency' – Tuchel on how we close the
gap on Man City next season

08 May 2021


Thomas Tuchel looks ahead to getting the better of our counterparts from
Manchester, both today, in Istanbul and over a longer race next season…


https://i.imgur.com/Q9aTLO0.jpg


Tuchel previewed our FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City last month
by describing it as 'a chance to close the gap in 90 minutes' and the
Blues were successful in that task, keeping the champions-elect at bay
before securing a 1-0 victory courtesy of Hakim Ziyech's breakaway goal.


If we can do the same in three weeks' time in Istanbul, Tuchel and Chelsea
will be European champions. Likewise, in the third of our four meetings
with the Citizens this season tonight, the stakes are high as the hosts
could finally secure the Premier League title, while the Blues still need
precious points in order to secure Champions League qualification for next
season.


Yet it is closing the gap on Pep Guardiola's men next term, over the
course of a nine-month, 38-game league campaign, that Tuchel believes
matters just as much.


'First of all, we know we cannot close it anymore this season,' he
conceded. 'They will be champions, hopefully not in this game but in one
of the next days, and deserved champions so there is a huge gap because
we are battling for the top four and not for the championship right now.


'Their consistency over the last three or four years is unique so that is
the challenge for us to fight against. I still say that Bayern Munich and
City was the benchmark in Europe, and City is the benchmark in the league,
but we are here to fight them and to close the gap.'


Our record since Tuchel took charge in late January is encouraging on that
front. Under the Bavarian, the Blues have lost fewer games than the
Mancunians, who have also conceded 38 per cent more goals, and got the
better of City at Wembley in the FA Cup.


However, maintaining such levels over time remains the biggest challenge,
and one the Chelsea head coach appears intently focused on.


'I don't know how fast we can do it and I don't want to set limits to it,'
he continued. 'We will try from the first day next season to not let the
gap be so big and I'm pretty sure that there are many teams who start with
exactly the same ambition.

Ziyech's breakaway goal settled the FA Cup semi-final between the sides
last month


'The race is on from day one but first of all this season is not finished
yet. We have another crucial match and then Arsenal, Leicester and Aston
Villa in the league, which is a pretty tough schedule for the end of the
season.


'We are totally focused on us and what we can do now sets the bar high for
our expectations and demands for any match upcoming. We have to earn it
and the process is key because the process is reality and the reality we
worship every day is that we are together and work hard and are
concentrated to earn the results.'


While reaching the final in both the FA Cup and Champions League adds even
more games at the end of the most condensed campaign in memory, Tuchel
feels recent semi-final triumphs against City and Real Madrid have forged
stronger bonds within the dressing room that will stand this young group
in good stead in the weeks, months and years to come.


'The down side is we have more games to come in between because it's way
harder to keep the focus and to always refocus on different competitions,'
he explained.


'On the other hand, it is clear that you gain confidence when you have
these extreme positive experiences together, which gives a certain glue in
this group and which strengthens the bond in the dressing room and at
Cobham.

Tuchel and Guardiola will go head-to-head again at the Etihad this evening


'We feel strong enough to translate this power and confidence into our
race for the top four and this is what we are up for. The challenge right
now is to forget the praise and the positive feedback, don't get too
influenced by that because it just clouds your mind. The target is to be
totally refocused for Man City.'

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

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