Tuchel tells journalists to stop asking him about war

‘You have to stop,’ Tuchel tells journalists to stop asking him about war

Thomas Tuchel blew his top at a press conference ahead of their FA Cup match at Luton Town and lashed out at reporters after being over and over asked about Russia’s inavasion of Ukraine.

The world of sports kept on secluding Russia after it sent off its invasion of Ukraine via land, air and sea last week following a declaration of battle by President Vladimir Putin.

Chelsea are owned by very rich person financial specialist Roman Abramovich, who on Monday was asked by Ukraine to help intercede due to his experience in Russia.

“How often do I need to say it? It’s horrible, of course, it’s horrible, there cannot be any other opinion about it,” a visibly angry Tuchel told a news conference ahead of Chelsea’s fifth round cup tie.

“Everybody in Europe has some noise in (their) head that nobody likes. Maybe it’s the same for you, but you still try to do your job as good as possible and it’s the same for us.”

The environment warmed up considerably more towards the end of the conference, when the German intruded on a writer attempting to pose one more inquiry about “the horrors of war.”

“Listen, you have to stop. I’m not a politician. You have to stop, honestly. I can only repeat myself and I even feel bad to repeat it because I never experienced war… I’m very privileged, I sit here in peace and I do the best I can but you have to stop asking me these questions. I have no answers for you,” Tuchel said.

Asked as to whether he was stressed over Chelsea’s future after Russian owner Abramovich gave stewardship of the club to legal administrators of Chelsea’s club last week.

“We try to be calm, and we are calm in the centre of a storm or of some noise around us that we cannot control and we are not responsible for it,” he said.

Chelsea travel to Luton Town for their FA Cup fifth round tie on Wednesday.
