After a rather well-managed double confrontation, Chelsea eliminated LOSC from the Champions League. Even behind in this return match, Thomas Tuchel’s men did not seem to panic. The German technician praised the character of his players at the microphone of RMC Sport. He also took the opportunity to rail once morest the lawn of LOSC.
“It was hard. The pitch is really horrible to play on. It’s a new lawn, but it’s not quality. It’s horrible for a match of this level. Lille gave their all and they played without fear of losing. They scored, but we showed a reaction and a very good mentality. We have character. I am very happy because we are in the quarter-finals. The context ? I think we have an atmosphere where we only focus on football. The club internally is very calm and very professional. The priority is always football.
