‘This will never change, it would be wrong to do! Tuchel finally reveals why he will never accept Lukaku’s request
The Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel criticised Romelu Lukaku following his performance in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday. Tuchel was unhappy with the number of times Lukaku surrendered possession to Manchester City.
However, The Blues Boss has revealed he won’t change his tactics just to suit Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.
When asked if he would change his tactics to get the best out of Lukaku, Tuchel insisted it would be wrong to change his approach just to suit one player because it’s a team sport.
“We do everything to help him,” Tuchel said in his pre-match press conference on Monday. “It is absolutely the wrong question because it is focusing on one player.
“He is a key player and we want him to be a key player but this is for me the wrong approach.”
He then went on to add: “This is what we do by the way constantly, for any player.
“It’s a team sport, not about ten players serving one player. This is not Chelsea or football. Every player serves one team, this will never change.”
Lukaku has scored 7 goals for the Blues in all competitions since joining from Inter Milan in a club record deal last summer.
