Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel said that the latter is dealing with the restrictions imposed by the British government on his operations in a professional manner, and will do his best to cross the second leg of the Champions League final price against its French host, "Lille", tomorrow, Wednesday.
The British government imposed sanctions on the Russian club owner Roman Abramovich, and under the terms of the license issued by the government, the "Blues" operations became limited in scope.
Tuchel revealed that the European champion had to make adjustments to the number of personnel of the mission to France to face "Lille", and that such discussions had not occurred before with an operations team that takes care of all his needs.
And he continued - in an interview with reporters on the eve of the second leg in France, where Chelsea leads 2-0 in the first leg - "We must adapt to the new circumstances, there are new things such as the arrangements for matches that were usually not preoccupied with us."
He added, "We are working within a specific framework now, we will not make excuses, it is really difficult to arrange things in the best possible way for the FA Cup quarter-final against Middlesbrough next Saturday, as long as we have the shirts and we are alive we will arrive, we will be able to compete and fight hard for Our success, we owe it to the people who usually support us, of course, we are in the spotlight but this is our responsibility."
Tuchel confirmed he had no choice in being the club's voice during a turbulent two-week period, and said he would continue to answer any questions about any new owner.
He added, "A new owner must arrive after it is approved, then we can discuss the matter if necessary, there is a process that defines the procedures for club ownership in this league, and of course everyone depends on this process and the values behind the decisions."
He concluded, "I don't think much about it (to be the voice of the club), I try to be honest, give you insight and give you information from the coach's heart, that's what I'm trying."
A spokesman for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Chelsea fans not to cheer for Abramovich, describing it as "totally inappropriate" in the circumstances, but Tuchel said he did not want to comment on the matter.
"I don't know if this is the most important topic that will be discussed in Parliament, and if it is, we may have to worry about the priority of discussions there," Tuchel said.
