Champions League: Chelsea double on the wire, Tuchel goes off its hinges! – Soccer

Caught up on the wire by Znith Saint-Petersburg (3-3) on Wednesday, Chelsea finished 2nd in their group in the Champions League. A very frustrating result for the reigning European champion, who faces a more complicated draw in the round of 16. What annoy the trainer Thomas Tuchel.

We need a higher level of sprints, a higher level of runs, a higher level of intensity and focus. It’s as simple as that, added Tuchel.

Four opponents, one wish

The anger of the former Paris Saint-Germain coach is perfectly legitimate because Chelsea are now exposed for the draw which will take place on Monday. Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool, Premier League clubs, but also Juve, who was in their group, having managed to finish first, the Blues, who will move on the return, could fall on Bayern Munich, Ajax Amsterdam, Real Madrid or Lille. The German and Dutch teams completed the first round with 6 wins in 6 games while the White House (5 wins in 6 games) is still a serious customer. Unsurprisingly, it is on the north side that all eyes are on the last winner of the C1 …
