Tuchel Admits To difficult Abramovich Chelsea's Situation In the UK

26 February, 2022

Labour MP Chris Bryant called on his colleagues in the parliament to bar Abramovic from entering the United Kingdom and also said that he should be dismissed as Chelsea's owner. Abramovic is said to be amongst the group of Russian oligarchs who have close ties with their president Vladimir Putin. Tuchel believes that Russia's war on Ukraine and Abramovic's connection with Chelsea could turn the public against the club. 

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has now admitted that everything is not well at the West London club and that he understands "critical opinion" towards them. Tuchel described the situation as "unreal" and said that it is clouding the minds and excitement of everyone at Chelsea. 

"We should not pretend that this is not an issue and I agree. The situation for me and for everybody here, for the players, is horrible. Nobody expected this. It’s pretty unreal, it’s clouding our minds, clouding excitement towards the final and it brings huge uncertainty," Tuchel said. 

"To a certain degree, I can understand critical opinions towards the club, towards us who represent that club. I can understand that and we cannot fully free ourselves from it. Maybe people understand that me as a coach or the players, we don’t have the insight what is really going on," Tuchel added. 

"I am aware of all these scenarios and all these discussions at the moment. I would love to take my right not to comment on this until there is a decision made. But we are aware of it and it’s distracting us, it’s worrying us. It concerns Europe, it’s in Europe and we are part of Europe. We cannot say let’s put this to the side. It’s the opposite. We have to live with it right now. There is no running away from it.," he concluded.
