🔹Thomas Tuchel: "The amount of effort intensity was incredible and outstanding in both games. We missed key players today but everybody else stepped up, huge support from the bench and the stands. It is hard, hard teamwork and I am very happy."
🔹Thomas Tuchel: "We feel that we deserve this. The most important is that we give feedback for the guys, what they did here in terms of quality. The manager has to convince you, you need to feel it and they play with a special bond. Fixtures and results like this give you a certain edge to achieve special things. I am pretty sure no-one wants to play against us.
🔹Thomas Tuchel on Hakim Ziyech: "He did it with Ajax, he came through to the semi final, so we chose him for this, he has good experience. He knows how it feels to arrive in the knockout round and to go through. He also deserved it. Today we also missed Mason Mount and we wanted to replace the workrate and intensity from Mason with Hakim."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on N'Golo Kante: "I never know the age of my players just from performance. If you play with N'Golo you have half a man more because he has a volume that is simply outstanding. It is a big gift for me, a guy so, so humble and a big helper on the pitch. Don't underestimate his quality."
🔹Thomas Tuchel: "We need to improve in counter attacks, the first contact after we win the ball when we implement more forward thinking to exploit space. We are a hard working team and a hard working team is the best team you can have as a coach. We want to be more clinical and with precise decision making with counter attacks. We are still lacking the last pass."
🔹Thomas Tuchel: "From here we go on, we take it step by step, we encourage them as we have seen many good things since the first training and first game. We have had so many good habits. It is my job to play my part, no more, no less."
🔹Thomas Tuchel on Emerson: "I am so happy for him, he has to suffer from my decision. We have three players for that position, we chose different players for the system. After some days where he needed to settle the new formations he is training with an unbelievable effort. He is one of the nicest guys you can imagine. It was absolutely necessary to give him a reward and some minutes as a thank you for his attitude.""
