DBasia.news – Chelsea coach, Thomas Tuchel, began to confidently look at the rest of this season. He even emphasized that no team wants to face Chelsea in the quarter-finals.
Chelsea advanced to the next round after beating Atletico Madrid 2-0 in the second leg. That way, Timo Werner and his friends won 3-0 on aggregate.
These results also extend Tuchel’s unbeaten streak with Chelsea. From 13 matches, Tuchel drew four and won nine. Remarkably, Chelsea conceded only twice.
These notes make Tuchel confidently look to the next match. In fact, he considered that the opposing team wanted to avoid meeting Chelsea.
“The players appear with a special bond and results like this give the advantage plus glue to achieve something. You can only do it in a certain atmosphere,” said Tuchel as reported by Goal.
“I’m pretty sure nobody wants to play against us in the last eight. It will be a big step, but we have nothing to fear.”
Thomas Tuchel also gave his opinion about the match against Atletico Madrid. Tuchel assessed that Atletico’s game opened up space that his team could use. As a result, two counter attacks that were built ended in goals.
“It was an extraordinary performance. Even when I was on the bench, I could feel the players wanted it so much,” said the coach.
“Atletico tried to put a lot of pressure on us in the first half. However, that opened up space for us to take advantage of.”
“In the second half, there were a few minutes where we had difficulties. However, we were ready for that in order to win.”
The 2020-2021 Champions League quarter-final draw will be held today, Friday (19/3). The draw for the Europa League quarter-finals will also be held at a later date.
