Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel cannot imagine life at Stamford Bridge without Roman Abramovich

 

It has been a tough day or two for every involved with Chelsea and also for their Russian owner Roman Abramovich. Recently Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel shared how the club won’t be the same without their owner.

The Russian billionaire has put the club up on sale amid the political fallout between Russia and Ukraine where the former decided to invade the latter. He revealed the news just an hour ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup fifth-round game against Luton Town.

The Blues had a tough night as they conceded early on in the game but eventually courtesy of a Romelu Lukaku winner they marched on to the FA Cup quarterfinals.

Speaking on the changes that are bound to take place in a world post-Roman Abrahamovich, Tuchel felt that it was a bit too early to process things for him.

“It’s a bit too early to speak, because I can only think about Chelsea with Roman Abramovich. So it’s very hard for me. It hasn’t sunk in yet that this is going to stop. It’s a massive change of course,” Tuchel said.

When quizzed whether the announcement had an effect on the players as they conceded the lead early on. The Blues looked a little nervy with their start and the early goal from Luton Town gave them a reality check. Although they won the news might have had an effect on the players as some of them are very close to the Russian.

“They have internet connections, they watch TV so of course they knew, they get messages. But still we focused in the preparation only on sports.

And maybe some players are more affected, some less, but in the end, we managed to focus, grow into this game and find the key to win it,” Tuchel shared.

Tuchel mainly deals with Chelsea technical advisor Petr Cech and  Club director Marina Granovskaia. So the sale is not his concern as his duty mostly lies with the players and the staff. The German feels that he should not worry much about it as these are things that are not in his hands.

“I don’t think I need to talk about it, I don’t know as much as maybe you think. I’m not a CEO or member of the board. So, I’m very sure the club will speak to us and the players,” he said.

“I’m not so much worried because I still feel privileged and in a good place. And I still hope and trust for the best. I’m not so much the person who worries about things I cannot influence. It’s big news, it will be a big change, but I’m also never afraid of change, and will focus on what I can influence, and this is staff and team,” Tuchel concluded.
