During the European Supercup final between Chelsea and Villareal, won by the Blues on penalties, Thomas Tuchel and Unai Emery, the coaches of the two teams, had a tense exchange before joining the locker room at the break. A big explanation of several seconds captured by the English production.
TV cameras caught Tuchel and Emery exchanging words during a tense discussion as they made their way to the tunnel at halftime in Belfast. It all started with a rather rough tackle from Rüdiger on Yeremi Pino. If the German received a yellow card, Tuchel did not really agree with this decision. However, he assures that he has nothing with his Spanish counterpart.
At a press conference after the meeting, Frank Lampard’s successor wished to calm things down on this incident.
” With him [Emery], there is no problem “, The Chelsea manager told BT Sport.
“It was someone from his staff who was a bit too talkative. But yeah ok, that’s it. We thought it was an English tackle, they saw it as a foul. “
