Thomas Tuchel previews Chelsea's Champions League QF v Porto
TIMESTAMPS
0:00 Inrtoduction
00:10 Pulisic, Kante and Abraham are fit enough to be in the squad and will be in the squad. NG did a test and will be on the bench.
1:10 Kepa/Rudiger incident
It was not [serious]. It was an incident in training and got heated between Toni and Kepa. They showed how much respect they have for each other. They cleared the air and there was nothing left one day after.
2:50 No punishment so far because of the way they dealt with it.
3:55 Reaction to Saturday's defeat? if we suffer a big loss in a weird game, it's normal there are reactions. We won all the statistics against West Brom: expected goals, touches in the box, shots on targets. If we played the same game against, I bet 99 times out of 100 that we win the game.
7:45 Take advantage of Porto suspensions, will Giroud feature? He is in the running and in the squad. He is excited to return to Sevilla, he has history there, scoring many goals in this campaign.
I'm super happy today because everybody was back in training. So we will have some major decisions to make and I am sure everybody will be ready for the game
10:00 Rudiger/Kepa leaking out?
It was serious. Sometimes you have little situations when you look away and let them sort things out. We needed to interfere in this situation so it was serious. How the guys handled the situation was impressive and showed character. But the situation was serious. That it got out...I get used to it in modern times. There are too many channels and ways that information can get out. I heard even that some of my debrief from the match got out there too. Ok, it's not nice.But I am not going to focus on who is the leak or whatever. I don't want to lose my trust in the group so I will accept it.
12:15 Porto happy to take you guys on?
If we needed a reminder, we will take it as a big slap in the face that result.
15:15 We need to win games, that was clear. We will never accept a game we concede five goals at home, even with a man down. I feel the players were very hard on themselves and I am very hard on myself too.
We hate to lose, and at Chelsea we hate to lose, it's about the reaction. When you go 14 games without a loss, everyone feels good. But now is the next step in our development.
