“It was a horror movie”

Two days before the clash with Porto in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Chelsea are going through a state of great tension. 'The Athletic 'revealed on Monday more details about the atmosphere that was experienced on Sunday in the London club's dressing room after the bulky defeat against West Bromwich Albion. It was Tuchel's first loss as a Chelsea manager and the German didn't take it well at all. According to the aforementioned medium, the English club's wardrobe “was a horror movie.”

Tuchel summoned his players on Sunday to analyze the mistakes made against West Bromwich Albion and start preparing for the Champions League game against Porto. The coach began the session by showing the players several videos of Saturday's game. “Only Tuchel spoke and no player was asked to speak his mind. It was a horror movie. Tuchel used to say things like 'this is unacceptable', 'we can't give away goals like this', 'what happened to the defense?' “, revealed a source to 'The Athletic', who also said that “no one escaped the coach's criticism.”

“The way Tuchel came onto the field at the end of the game to greet the players and the referee gave the impression of a man trying to look cool on the outside. Someone who didn't want to overstate what happened. But when he got to the locker room, he was furious. 'There were a lot of heated discussions between various players', a source continued to relate to 'The Athletic'.

After Tuchel's harsh criticism of his players inside the locker room, he later moved to the pitch with the incident between Kepa and Rudiger. According to 'The Telegraph', it seems that the discussion between the two passed the barrier of words and that both got to push each other. The German defender apologized to the Spanish goalkeeper, but was expelled from the session by Tuchel.
