Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has revealed that he would love to lose the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool if it would restore peace in Ukraine.
Tuchel admits Chelsea’s Carabao Cup final preparations have been affected by the situation in Ukraine and insists he has mixed feelings going into the Wembley final.
Tuchel, who led Chelsea to Champions League glory last season, also rejected the notion that his team could use any critical voices towards the club as extra motivation against Liverpool.
“Like, are we allowed to fully engage, fully celebrate? Or would it be inappropriate? This is how I feel about it because it’s so new and fresh. It’s a mixed feeling I have to say,” Tuchel told the press on Saturday ahead of the game against Liverpool.
“I see the point but if you give it a second thought, how does it help now if we lose a football match given the situation that we have a war?
“This is simply not important enough and it will unfortunately not help. If it would, I am happy to lose the match,” he said.
