War in Ukraine: Tuhel breaks out after persistent questions about Russian invasion and Abramovich
Thomas Tuchel was harshly criticized by journalists for speaking out against the Russian invasion and developments with Abramovich, but the German refused to answer.
Roman Abramovich’s decision to hand over the management of the club to charity Chelsea in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has left the Blues with a sense of uncertainty.
For this reason, Thomas Tuchel was under suffocating pressure from journalists to ask him for his comment on everything that happened. However, he did not want to continue.
“How many times do I have to say that? It’s awful, of course, it’s awful, there’s no other way to think about it. Listen, you have to stop. I’m not a politician. You gotta stop, honestly. I can only repeat it and I am sorry to repeat it because I have never experienced war. I’m very privileged, I’m just sitting here doing my best, but you have to stop asking me these questions. I have no answers for you”was his characteristic comment.
