Thomas Tuchel He left Paris Saint-Germain at the end of 2020 because France (and Qatar) were not happy with the team’s performance. Five months later, he won the Champions League final with Chelsea, where he has fitted in wonderfully and has carried out a project in which collective work stands out. It has a lot of stars, that’s true, but the team is so well set up that they all shine equally. And that is the total credit of the German coach, who rescued the ‘blues’ after a gray stage of the team with Frank Lampard.
Now, ten months after his departure from the Parc des Princes and with enough merits to speak, has ‘loaded’ with the structure of the PSG of the stars, where you do not have to deal only with the squad (which is already too much) but also with their families and players. It is work, he has hinted, exhausting and time-consuming. Tuchel has confessed, among other things, that he prefers to coach Chelsea.
“At PSG I felt like Minister of Sports. He also had to manage family and friends of the ‘cracks’. It is easier to train Lukaku than Neymar or Mbappé “, confessed the German coach, who also said that “Ney is always the key, in attack and defense. I must say that I always trust him when the big games come. He works hard, he is always there, he is very intelligent, he controls the passes. “.
Similarly, the former PSG has confessed that he is delighted with his position at Chelsea, where he can work more calmly and without so much pressure, despite the fact that the Stamford Bridge offices are very demanding and expect the team keep winning titles next season. In any case, Tuchel pointed out that can work “in a calmer way”, applying his working methods “with elements of philosophy due to his studies and to the meeting with Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht”.
Tuchel wanted to play for Barça
These statements were revealed in ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, but it was not the only thing that the current Chelsea manager has said. Tuchel commented that he grew up “cheering on Matthäus at Inter and fearing Sacchi’s Milan”, who ended up becoming one of his references. In addition, He confessed that he dreamed of “being a top player, or at least one of Barcelona’s”.
