Thomas Tuchel reveals why he doesn’t know his players’ feelings about sensational Super League move | OneFootball

Thomas Tuchel is fielding questions about the European Super League in his press conference this afternoon, and after being asked for his own thoughts, he was asked how his players feel about the explosive news.

It was put to him that they were likely to be very worried, considering there are threats that players taking part will be banned from international competitions, among other things.

Tuchel answered that he didn’t know, as he hasn’t seen the group since the news was announced last night. He explained that training had been moved to later today to give them more time to recover from Saturday’s win over Man City, ahead of tomorrow night’s match against Brighton.

That’s perfectly believable, although it’s also a very convenient excuse. He won’t be able to make the same move later this week however – so the club better come up with a good party line before then.
