Tuchel contests Premier League decision on 5 substitutions: “I don’t understand”

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel disagrees with the Premier League decision and insists on protests. The organization did not want to maintain the rule of five substitutions per game, approved due to the covid-19 pandemic.

The Premier League is one of the few tournaments that decided to revert to the old regulations, keeping only three changes.

“For me, the calendar [sobrecarregado] It’s not a problem. Many teams are struggling and some have had to postpone games [devido a surtos de Covid-19]. It’s obvious that we’re all in a strange situation where all the teams are hit hard,” began Tuchel.

“I just can’t understand why we can’t make five substitutions. It was in England that this idea came up, right? And now that we are going through this moment of outbreaks, I have the feeling that no one wants to think about the topic”, he added.

Chelsea enters the field this Wednesday, at 16:30 (GMT), against Brighton. The duel is valid for the 20th round of English.
