Thomas Tuchel does not care if his methods make his players hate him - as long as they win.
The frustrated German wrecked his players’ planned Sunday lunches at the weekend, when he hauled them in for extra training the day after their disappointing draw with Wolves at Stamford Bridge. But Tuchel, whose side face struggling Leeds tonight in a must-win game if they are to hang on to third place in the Premier League, and as they prepare for Saturday’s FA Cup final against Liverpool, doesn’t care. His Sunday was wrecked as well.
The Chelsea manager said: “If you want to be loved on a daily basis you should not become a high level football coach. It will not happen. At this moment not I’m probably not popular. Most of them expected a 30 minute team talk and then to watch the game again. Once they understood why they were in and the weather was fine most of them accepted it.
