🗣Thomas Tuchel's Full Post-Tottenham Press Conference:
🔹Thomas Tuchel: "It's Premier League football and the two managers got involved today because both of us were fighting for our teams. That was it. For me it's not a big deal. It was part of it today."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on Antonio Conte: "We fought for our teams. It's so close here, it was such an intense match, that both dugouts are very close. So..."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on enjoying Chelsea vs Tottenham: "Yes."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on Anthony Taylor's decisions: "I've no words for it. I'm curious about the explanation. Both goals should not stand."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on frustration with dropping points: "Hopefully in the season we will steal some points at the last minute. This can happen. But it can't happen when we have VAR that goals are allowed that should not be goals. This is unacceptable. We were so sharp, fully on, and played a brilliant match. What a step up for us from the first game against Everton."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on fans having issues with Anthony Taylor: "Not only the fans. The players know what is going on. They know it."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on Anthony Taylor letting decisions go: "We have some rules and I'm very surprised when a 50/50 challenge with Harry Kane and suddenly it's worth whistling because none of the players expected a free-kick and suddenly it's a free kick. When Reece James did a tactical foul it was a yellow card, how many tactical fouls did Hojbjerg do today? What about the foul about Kai Havertz?"
🔹Thomas Tuchel on his red card: "I cannot coach [vs Leeds United], but the referee can whistle the next game."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on N'Golo Kante: "He felt the hamstring too strong. Not good."
