Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Ronaldo, Ben Arfa, Lassana Diarra… Hannibal Mejbri’s dream eleven!
And inevitably, it was a disappointed Tuchel who spoke to the press. “We were unlucky. This is why we are disappointed. We were beaten by individual quality and efficiency. We made two mistakes, two stray shots. We deserved to pass after this game today. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. »
According to him, the Blues pay cash for the few mistakes made, but Tuchel is still proud of this performance. “We need to reduce our number of errors and we couldn’t reduce them to a minimum on both runs. We had two crucial ball losses. There are no regrets. It’s the kind of defeat you can take with pride as a sportsman. »
Tuchel pays the referee
On the other hand, the manager of the Blues was much more bitter with the referee, in particular because of an inappropriate connivance according to him with Carlo Ancelotti … “I was disappointed that the referee had a good time with Carl. When I wanted to go say thank you, he was smiling and laughing with the opponent’s coach. I think now is not the right time to do this after the final whistle, 126 minutes from a team giving their hearts. When you go see a referee smiling and laughing with the other coach, it’s bad timing. I told him this. »
But also for his decision to cancel a Marcos Alonso goal without taking the time to consult the VAR himself. “I didn’t see the goal but I’m super disappointed that he didn’t come and check it on his own. You have to stay the boss and not give decisions to someone who is sitting in a chair and isolated,” Tuchel concluded.
