Coach Thomas Tuchel sees his future even after the tough sanctions against Russian club owner Roman Abramovich at English Champions League winners Chelsea.

"I'm still happy to be here, still happy to be the coach of a strong football team," said Tuchel on the sidelines of London's 3-1 win in the English Premier League on Thursday evening against bottom-placed Norwich City.

The German coach emphasized that the will of the team was unbroken despite all the new problems.

"As long as we have enough jerseys and a bus to go to the games we will be there and competing hard," the 48-year-old told BBC radio.

He knows that "there is a lot of noise, and yet we allow ourselves to do our best to concentrate on football."

Great Britain had imposed far-reaching measures against Chelsea hours before the encounter.

From now on, the club world champions are no longer allowed to transfer players, sell tickets for future games and have to close all fan shops.

The Russian owner Abramowitsch loses control of the football club from the English capital for the time being.

"I don't know if I'm worried.

But we are aware of it and it changes almost every day," said Tuchel: "There's not much we can do about it." He now wants to wait and see how the situation might change again.

"We take it every day.

I didn't see it coming yesterday and I don't know what tomorrow will bring," said the former coach of Borussia Dortmund and Mainz 05.

Main sponsor no longer wants

Tuchel and the team currently have little room to maneuver anyway.

"We have no influence, we didn't cause the situation, we can't influence it," said the coach after the win with German internationals Timo Werner and Kai Havertz in the starting lineup about the outsider: "We allowed ourselves to enjoy that we are here and have the privilege of playing football in the Premier League.

We wanted to show the best.”

Britain imposed the measures on billionaire Abramovich because of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine.

The mobile phone company Three, which is very present as the main sponsor, also asked for the contract to be suspended until further notice and for the company logo to be removed from the jerseys and the advertising boards.

According to media reports, Three has so far spent the equivalent of 48 million euros per season on advertising.

Chelsea are currently only allowed to continue playing thanks to a special license from the British government.

Those responsible now want to seek talks with the government.

The aim is to relax the sanctions.

According to the license issued on Thursday, "football-related activities" are permitted.

Players, coaches and all other employees may continue to be paid.

Travel expenses up to a maximum of 20,000 pounds (approx. 24,000 euros) per game are permitted.

The financial expenditure per home game may not exceed 500,000 pounds (approx. 600,000 euros).

The club is losing significant income as a result of the freeze on sales of further tickets and merchandising.

It is also quite possible that the Blues will also lose some important ones - and then initially have no opportunity to sign new players.

Despite the sanctions against Abramovich, the club won the Premier League game against bottom-placed Norwich City 3-1 (2-0).

The team from London is third in the table.

With the German internationals Timo Werner and Kai Havertz in the starting line-up, Chelsea dominated the game.

In the third minute, Trevoh Chalobah scored the lead on Mason Mount's assist.

The passer scored eleven minutes later after Havertz template.

Since Chelsea did not use a few chances after that and former Schalke player Teemu Pukki scored the connection with a hand penalty (68th), things got exciting again before Havertz (90th) scored the final score.

"On a day like this you would normally talk about the Champions League games, but nobody has.

It was about the impact.

That was the topic of the talks, ”reported Tuchel.

It is therefore good to follow a fixed plan.

"Three hours before the game we eat, then we have a tactics meeting, a set pieces meeting, then we go to the stadium.

It helps you focus because we're used to it."
