Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has come out to play down the significance of his team’s loss vs West Ham. He, however, revealed that Chelsea can’t keep making mistakes if they want to remain in title contention.
According to him, he and his players hate to lose any football game, but today’s display wasn’t a performance to be really worked up about.
Tuchel added that too many individual mistakes cost CFC the game, and his boys simply need to overcome tiredness, mentally and physically.
His words, “We hate to lose, we have to digest it now,”
“It is not a performance to be mad about, but in detail we need to be better again.”
“If we won the game nobody would have given us the title and if we lose it I don’t think anybody else gets it this weekend.”
“This is a goal that OK, happens, it happens because it happens, there are no mistakes, just a freak goal – the problem is that it is the winner,”
“We had too many mistakes before in our game because the performance was OK, we created half chances and were in control. Overall we did too many individual mistakes. If you do this for three consecutive games you cannot expect always to get a result.”
“This will not change, the schedule is the schedule and we need to overcome tiredness, mentally and physically, otherwise we have an excuse. We did not get a gift today from West Ham and they also played Europa League in between.”
“The schedule we play and effort we play, sometimes you feel tired, but you just need to accept it and control our risk management.”
