Tuchel’s dig at Mo and Co on Cup final day
CHELSEA manager Thomas Tuchel has called on his players to bring down the nation’s favourite football team when they face Liverpool in today’s FA Cup Final at Wembley. Tuchel said last night he agrees with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola who claimed last week that the country is full of Liverpool fans. ‘I can understand why Pep has that feeling,’ said Tuchel. ‘It is hard to really argue with it. There is a huge sympathy for Liverpool in the country. They work hard for it and no offence. ‘But it’s big, big credit to Jurgen Klopp. This is what you deal with when you play a team against him. ‘But if we are the bad guys tomorrow, then no problem. Forty nine or forty per cent (supporting us), then no problem. ‘We take that role. We don’t want to have the sympathy of the country tomorrow. We want to have the trophy.’
