What They're Saying: Thomas Tuchel

• by Soccer America , Dec 20, 2021

"We talk a lot about safety and protecting the players, but I'm not so sure we did this today. If we have tomorrow and the next test, the next positive, I would like to speak to the Premier League about what they expect. We were made to be in the bus and travel together for three hours, we were in meetings together, in dinner and lunch and the situation does not feel like it will stop if we keep on doing this."
