Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel jokes that he will drink a gin and tonic if his team beat Tottenham on Thursday, as it is not a ‘beer or wine type’
“I think Chelsea always have great players and great squads and good coaches are happy to work with these clubs and with players who give you a very good chance to be successful and win titles.
“So I understand your question and of course a coach needs time and he needs stability and it is very good to feel stability.”
“I’m not saying that stability helps you sleep, I’m saying that stability gives you a different way of thinking, and you are not only thinking about today, you are also thinking about tomorrow, you are also thinking (about) the future.
“That’s right. It’s Mr. Abramovich’s club, and you have to understand that it’s up to him to make his decisions.”
“In my case, I was there in two different periods, and I was champion in two different periods, and I’m very happy to have been there before and to have that opportunity.”

We take a trip back to 2016 and a historic evening at Stamford Bridge when emotions were running high between title hunters Tottenham and London rivals Chelsea
Tuchel has guided Chelsea to four points, and two clean sheets, since his first two games in charge and Mourinho says he will play with his style.
“Immediately a coach comes to a club and tries to give a little different footprint,” he said. “Every coach has different ideas. Drastic changes probably won’t work because the players are not ready for it.
“But small changes can have a positive impact.
“From what I read what happened was that Chelsea moved away from where they have created a lot in recent years.
“Antonio Conte was playing like this for two years. Frank played many times in this direction. So the players know how to play the way they are playing.
“And then there are the qualities of the players and they have a lot of players with qualities, but with a very pragmatic goal, Chelsea was a very good team with Frank.
“You can tell me they had bad results here and there. The results in the Champions League were incredible. But they had a very good team with Frank and they have a very good team with Tuchel.”
