War in Ukraine: Coach Tuchel becomes emotional
STORY: The dramatic situation caused by the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine is also noticeable in the world of sports. Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel reacted very emotionally to the question of his opinion on the war at a press conference in London on Wednesday: “You know, you always start the question with the same sentence: ‘Yes, we know that it’s next to There are many more important things in football, but can you please say something about…’ and you decide to ask me about the war and how many times do I have to say it: Of course it’s horrible. There can be no other opinion on this and that’s it. But why should we do our work less concentrated than you.” // “No, listen, you have to stop! I’m not a politician. I can only repeat it. And it bothers me because I’ve never seen a war, so I feel bad talking about this because I’m very privileged. I’m sitting here in peace and doing my best, but you have to stop asking me these questions. I don’t have any answers for you.” Questions about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are particularly hot for Tuchel’s club as the club’s boss is Roman Abramovich, but according to an official statement on Chelsea’s website, the Russian oligarch is now planning to sell the club.
After the repeated questions from journalists about the situation in Ukraine due to the Russian attack, the Chelsea manager finally loses his composure.
