Tuchel couldn’t hold it. Attack on the Premier League. “It absolutely doesn’t make sense”

Before Wednesday’s game against Brighton, he questioned the logic of the mid-game substitution rules. The German admitted that the players need protection against an extremely tight schedule of meetings, which in turn the manager “has no problem”.

Thomas Tuchel dissatisfied with the decision of the Premier League authorities

Tuchel admitted being surprised by the authorities’ reluctance to reintroduce the five-shift limit that was allowed at the peak of the pandemic. “I absolutely cannot understand why we are the only league to play throughout the winter and why we are the only league with three substitutes in times of severe threat and pandemic situation,” he said.

The Chelsea manager did not spare tart words when describing his opinion on the subject. – It absolutely doesn’t make sense. This is the current situation and it is disturbing. The match schedule is not a problem. We love such a crowd. Five changes were made when the pandemic began. Now we’re inside it, and I have the feeling that everyone refuses or doesn’t want to think about it. For me, this is logical as COVID affects everyone and we just need more options to protect players and share minutes. This is my opinion and I will not stop defending it – he added.

Tuchel thunders on “risk of injury”

On Christmas Day, the German manager revealed that three of his teammates, both vaccinated and vaccinated, tested positive. Ruben Loftus-Cheek dropped out of the game with an injury, while Callum Hudson-Odoi both got infected.

“If we’re just talking about middle-aid, he’s out of the game and Ruben is still not in full strength.” One positive test for central midfielders is enough for everything to collapse again, because then Mateo Kovacić will play 90 minutes again. We risk injuries – that’s what we’re doing at the moment. I can’t say more and I don’t see how we are out of the coronavirus threat at the moment, he added.
