Thomas Tuchel
Thomas Tuchel admits the Premier League title is not a realistic goal for Chelsea this season. Tuchel took charge of his first game in charge at Chelsea on Wednesday as they drew 0-0 with Wolves just a day after the German was appointed manager at Stamford Bridge. It leaves the Blues sat eighth in the table, 11 points off leaders Manchester City, who have a game in hand. Manchester United sit second, a point off City, having played the same amount of games as Chelsea. Speaking to Football.London, Tuchel said that, whilst he was at Stamford Bridge to win trophies, the Premier League title was out of reach this season.
Thomas Tuchel said: “For us as managers, we always try to bring in performances to develop and improve players, to increase their value through strong performances. In the end, I am very realistic and I am in a club who’s DNA it is to win and go for trophies I am here to challenge for every trophy that we play for and it means realistically that this year it is about the Champions League and FA Cup. To speak about the Premier League title is not realistic because there are too many teams between us. We will just lose focus if we start here but our job is also about relationships with the club and team, to push everyone to the limit. Success is also the make everyone in the stadium happy, everyone should be excited to come to Stamford Bridge, people should be excited to watch our team and people should feel that the team plays with a special energy and atmosphere. These are the soft points of success but in the end, we don’t need to talk a lot because Chelsea play for trophies and titles.”
