MADRID, 4 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel assured that forward Romelu Lukaku has “apologized” for his words about his current situation in the English team, and that he is counting on him again after leaving him out of the call last weekend to Liverpool’s visit.
In an interview with the Italian network ‘Sky’, the Belgian international assured that he was not too happy with the European champion or with the style of play proposed by Tuchel. His words created something of a stir and the German coach decided to leave him out of the clash against the ‘reds’, but now he will have him again for Tottenham’s visit to the Carabao Cup.
“He has apologized and is back in the team for training. We have had enough time to clear things up and move on,” Tuchel said at a press conference on Tuesday where he acknowledged his satisfaction that they took “the time necessary to look at him and speak it calmly. “
The German coach pointed out that for him “the most important thing was to understand and understand clearly” what had happened and “believe that it was not intentional.” “He did not do this intentionally to create noise before such an important match,” he admitted.
The coach of the European champion warned that what happened “is not as big” as it seemed and that “it is small enough to keep calm, accept an apology and move on.” “He is very aware of what happened and what he created and feels the responsibility to fix the disaster,” he said.
“He can handle it, although he has no other choice and he cannot expect everyone to be super happy the next day. But he is still our player and we have good and many reasons for him to play with us and to convince him. We are happy that he is our player and We will protect him, “Tuchel said.
