Tuchel outlines plans for calm at Cobham
01 Mar 2022
Thomas Tuchel has insisted that his Chelsea staff and players will
continue to focus on the tasks at hand and enjoy the privileges of elite
sport as the Blues look to bounce back from Sunday's Carabao Cup final
defeat.

Liverpool were victors at Wembley at the end of a two-hour battle that
failed to separate the two sides, with an epic penalty shoot-out needed to
find a winner.
The final was played amid the backdrop of conflict in Ukraine, which
Tuchel admitted in the build-up had 'clouded the excitement' of taking
part in the showpiece occasion.
However, our German head coach outlined his plans to maintain a sense of
calm at Cobham and keep his players concentrated as we prepare for a swift
return to cup duties in the FA Cup fifth round away at Luton Town on
Wednesday.
'In the middle of the storm, it's pretty calm and this is what we try to
have at Cobham in our training ground,' claimed Tuchel.
'This is what we try to install in easier times and in rougher times so
that everybody feels safe and appreciated.'
Despite the disappointment of that Liverpool loss, Tuchel has urged his
players to take stock and be grateful for the unique opportunities they
are afforded as participants in elite sport.
'When we are together, we can allow ourselves to focus on what we love the
most, which is playing football, training football and taking care about
our big passion,' he added.

'This is what we do. We know that there are bigger things going on than
football but still we are very privileged. There is no doubt about it and
this is how we feel.'
