Distraught, Thomas Tuchel.

The German coach saw his Chelsea team be joined in stoppage time on Wednesday night at home against Brighton (1-1), on the 20th day of the Premier League.

A logical score as the Blues suffered the waves of opponents after the opening of Lukaku's score in the first period, but frustrating, because at the same time Manchester City overcame Brentford (1-0).

As a result, Chelsea are now eight points behind in the standings.

The title is gradually moving away at this complicated end of the year for the players of Tuchel, who have won only three of their last eight league games.

But according to the former PSG coach, he cannot fight on an equal footing anyway because of all the Covid cases that currently affect his workforce.

"We just play"

“The title race? How can you claim the title? We have seven cases of Covid. We have five or six players forfeited for six weeks or more. How should we fight in a title race, he asked at a press conference. All the others who have a full squad, with all the players in training, have the means to get by in this Championship. We would be foolish to think we can do it with the Covid and the injuries. We just play. "

A bit of bad faith, friend Tutuche, because everyone is affected in England.

On Tuesday, the Premier League announced that it had identified 103 positive cases among the twenty first division clubs between December 20 and 26.

There is no shame in being left behind by a team which has just chained ten straight league victories.
