Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Ronaldo, Ben Arfa, Lassana Diarra… Hannibal Mejbri’s dream eleven!
Holder of the Champions League title, Chelsea seem to be off to a bad start to be able to retain their title. The Blues suffered the law of Real Madrid and Karim Benzema in that first leg at Stamford Bridge. Inevitably, the coach of the Blues Thomas Tuchel therefore had reason to be disappointed. At the microphone of Canal +, the German technician returned to this complicated evening: “We weren’t on the level. We played a very bad first half, Real Madrid deserved their victory. Our level was not good enough for a Champions League quarter-final“.
Worse, he was not reassuring for the return: “I don’t know (if we can reverse the trend). Now we have to play against Southampton because we lost in the Premier League last time. We have to get it into our heads that it’s very important to raise our heads there and not think about Madrid. We had chances in the second half. But after this third goal, it was too complicated. It’s a bad time, seven goals conceded in three days, it’s not typical for us that’s clear. We need to improve this immediately“.
to summarize
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has spoken out following the painful loss to Real Madrid. With inevitably a lot of disappointment… His team indeed seems to be off to a very bad start to be able to defend his title.
