What did Thomas Tuchel say about his Chelsea future?
Thomas Tuchel revealed when asked if there were talks with the Chelsea management over his future, saying: “There are talks, but I think given the situation where we come from and where we are right now, in the middle of the transfer period, I think it is for the best if I focus on my team and being competitive.
“You know how glad I am to be here and how much I like it. It is a good thing.”
Thomas Tuchel also added that he is more focused on the squad he have at his disposal now, when quizzed if he was frustrated with Chelsea summer recruitment: No. The opposite of frustrated after last week’s match. I’m very happy, very confident after last week’s performance because I saw a good team, very good team performance. Excellent match. Like I told you, we work together about the reinforcements but it’s never easy and it’s not that we can just wish for something and it will happen.
“As long as the transfer window is open, there are always possibilities. We know what we are trying, we know what we are doing. The focus is on what we have, not what we could have. This is the team, they get their full energy and attention from us.
Tuchel also hinted that the Blues are still in the transfer market and ready to strengthen their squad with quality players.
Chelsea is currently rumored to be pursuing Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The 48-year-old added: “I believe we can compete with this group. To be very honest it is one thing to compete once a week and another 60 times a year and three times a week. For this, you need a strong group. It’s simply like this.
“You need players who challenge for their place, their minutes, and push each other to their highest level. It does not come down to only tactics, and team spirit but also the challenge and quality of players within the team and depth within the squad. That has not changed.
“We are very happy about the performance still but we are still active in the market and know what can be possible. If not, we will make the very best out of it. If we are looking, we are looking for high quality and personality that suits our group and club. Nothing has changed.”
