Thomas Tuchel’s Full Post-Leicester City Press Conference:

Thomas Tuchel: “It was a very good first half and still we were struggling in the last 3rd with our decision making and precision. If we were like on the highest level, we could have created even more chances and maybe scored the third one earlier to have a decision very early.” “

Thomas Tuchel: “It is what we want to do. We want to do our things over and over again, reach our standards and push our limits. I am happy with our results and the way we played.”

Thomas Tuchel on Chelsea’s victory over Leicester: “It was a good performance and we could’ve finished the game earlier. There are still things to improve, decision making and conversion, but it was a mature performance and we needed it. “

Thomas Tuchel: “There’s still things to improve, technical mistakes in the last third. But it was a confident performance and a mature performance.”

Thomas Tuchel on Reece James and Ben Chilwell: “We understand better and better where we can take risks, adapt our positions, and not to go fully overconfident. We can have a bit of freedom with our offensive movements. The wing-backs can adapt to half positions to support our attackers. It’s a matter of repetition and understanding. At the moment, they do very well no matter who plays.

Tuchel on Rudiger’s Contract Situation: “That’s why we have a bit of patience and hopefully a happy ending.”

Tuchel on Rudiger’s performance: “Yes exclamation mark, he’s been outstanding from the first game until today and I hope it stays like this. Defensive performance is strong as ever as usual. They deserve the praise for it because they do a lot of invisible work. They protect and support each other. They are brave and we want to be dangerous from set pieces.”

Thomas Tuchel on Christian Pulisic: “This is one of his key qualities to arrive in the box and into the six-yard box. We need this, he gives something in terms of sprints, intensity on and off the ball, but he is at the end of the attacks. He is hungry to score and this is where we need players.”

Thomas Tuchel: “I thought we could be more precise and clinical in the first half because we played with such effort, had ball recoveries, found spaces with the ball, and, of course, a third goal would’ve decided the match almost certainly.”

Thomas Tuchel: “With a two-goal lead you’re comfortable but one deflected goal, set-piece, changes everything. I am happy but there is also room for imporvement. The players got full praise after the match and they know when they did a full match. It’s a huge effort we put into attacking and defending and I’m pleased the team got the win they deserved.”
