Thomas Tuchel refused to to 'make a drama' out of Chelsea's 4-1 defeat to Brentford, despite the Blues' collapse following Antonio Rudiger's opening strike. Vitaly Janelt's brace, Christian Eriksen and Yoane Wissa ensure it was a joyous afternoon for the travelling Bees supporters, as Tuchel's side struggled to repond.
It was not the ideal preparation before having to take on Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday. Though, it would not be the first time that Chelsea went in search of European success following a heavy defeat.
Tuchel does not believe that his stars already had one eye on the game and were overlooking Brentford. Instead, the German coach believes Chelsea were mentally tired and not fresh enough following the international break.
