Thomas Tuchel has rarely attempted to hide or disguise his emotions during his time as Chelsea head coach. It's why after disappointing defeats, the German often cuts a moody and downbeat figure in post-match press conferences. Evidently, that extends into pre-season.
After watching his side succumb to a 4-0 defeat to Arsenal in the heat and humidity of Orlando, Tuchel went on the offensive when he faced the press. Naturally, there was frustration with the performance produced, but there was strong criticism for his attacking unit and an acceptance that several players within his squad either want to leave or are considering their future.
Yet perhaps of most concern were the four words uttered by Tuchel when asked whether Chelsea would be ready for their opening Premier League game of the campaign against Everton at Goodison Park. Without hesitation, the 48-year-old said: "I can not guarantee."
