Thiago Silva and Thomas Tuchel, return, at the microphone of RMC Sport, on qualification of the Blues in the final of C1. And on the PSG ...


Thiago Silva (Chelsea defender, after qualifying for the Champions League final)

 : “We suffered a bit, but we controlled well in the second half, played well, in a good hurry, we did what we had planned. Thomas Tuchel brought a lot of things. The main thing is to play well on the pitch, to maintain peace of mind. To play football, you have to take advantage. He gave confidence. We started to manage the matches well. We cannot forget that more than half of the team is very young, 22-23 years old. We sometimes make mistakes, like today with a lot of missed opportunities. We could have finished the match before. In the final two years in a row with Tuchel? It's special for us. Unfortunately, yesterday (Tuesday), Paris failed to do the job. I was sad for the players. But we are happy here. We deserved this result, to continue like this, with good performances every weekend.Here, it's a little different because every weekend, we play a Champions League match. And in the end, you're better prepared. It is not a revenge compared to PSG. The club made its choice, to let me go and to free Tuchel. It's hard to explain actually. It was sad for me. But the most important thing now is that we are happy at Chelsea. I hope we can win the Champions League this year, that's our dream too.I hope we can win the Champions League this year, that's our dream too.I hope we can win the Champions League this year, that's our dream too.

The final against Manchester City? All finals are special matches, different from the others. We play on Saturday (on the 35th day of the Premier League), but that will be another context. We still have time to prepare for the final. (on its longevity) I'm not going to say it's normal, but I am convinced that in everything I have done in my career and in my personal life allows me to be ready for the top level. When Chelsea called me, I said to myself: 'I'm going there and I'm going to continue at the top level'. It's special for me. People think we're going to play badly at 36-37 years old. I am happy with this. I always prepare. Thank you to my wife and my children for understanding that after the matches, I take the time to do the care, the recovery, to be well the next day.It's not easy for them but they understood the situation and maybe we would realize our dream at the end of the month. It's special because I had never made it to the final until I was 35, and I'm doing two in a row… But we haven't won anything yet. We know it. It will take a big job against City to bring back the cup. " (sure

"At Chelsea, I found a very strong club, only focused on winning, it's a very strong mentality at the training center"

Thomas tuchel

Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea coach)

 : “The second half was very strong. We suffered first, Real had a lot of possession, they changed a lot of positions and it was hard to actively recover the ball. But every time we did it, it was a big chance against it. In the second half, we were very strong, we created a lot of clear chances. However, it was still hard to score (laughs)… And for that, I congratulate the team because we never lost concentration, the hunger was exceptional, the mentality in the second half… It was a pleasure to see this. First coach to make two finals in a row with two different clubs? It's not against PSG, or showing anything. It's a gift to work in football for me, to have guys who push,who have confidence in me and who give me the opportunity to be the coach of Paris or Chelsea because we need a very strong team, a very strong club as is the case here, to go finally. It's a gift. The culture is always different in each team when you are a coach. I only want to speak here of Chelsea. I found a very strong club, only focused on winning, it's a very strong mentality at the training center. Lots of support for me from day one. And the Premier League is extraordinary, because you can never recover, you always have to give 100%. And it does something with the club, the mentality and the players. It's amazing and it's a pleasure to be a coach here. Thiago Silva? He was my captain in Paris, an extraordinary captain on a daily basis.He's an extraordinary guy, with character, he was extraordinary in the second half. We can see that he is having a lot of fun. He was very strong and I am very happy. ” (sure
