🔹Thomas Tuchel: "Let's be honest, if we win tomorrow we will not be champions, or in depression [if Man City win]. We feel ready to beat them once again."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on Man City: "We always try to focus on us but there are a lot of behaviours that you need to be aware of. They play a very different lineup in the league, caused a lot of problems for us. We never know, they have a lot in their pocket. Top team, top manager. Every lineup, they put huge intensity on you. They have patterns in defending and attacking that you have to be aware. We have to play with confidence, and accept difficulties, pain and fatigue. Then you need to take advantage to escape pressure."
🔹Thomas Tuchel: "You need to very aware of space as they only open up for a blink of a second. Do we need a miracle to compete? No, but we need our best performance."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on six-pointer: "Well it is, between two teams who are rivals for top four and the best outcome. But it's too early to be a decision tomorrow. Any team can steal three points."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on 2021/22 season: "It's going to be a marathon, not a sprint, the race is not over no matter the result [tomorrow]."
🔹Thomas Tuchel: "It's so early, we don't need extra motivation/edge to be six points clear. We need to be at our best, best level anyway no matter if we are one point clear/behind. This is what we did in the last three matches against Man City. We need our top level."
🔹Thomas Tuchel: "Points don't matter. Tomorrow is on, and we have to be fully on."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on Thiago Silva: "It's on him [to decide future]. I cannot answer this right now. Hopefully he can continue to perform at this level. That's all he needs to stay here [at #Chelsea]. You need top performances here, that's what's needed."
