Rudiger’s Contract Saga Hasn’t Affected His Mentality – Tuchel

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has come out to say that he hopes Antonio Rudiger’s contract saga will be over soon. He recently revealed that he is currently hoping the drama will have a good ending for all parties.

According to him, the saga hasn’t affected the defender’s mentality in any way and it’ll not impact his behavior on the pitch at all.

Tuchel added that Rudiger is fully committed to Chelsea at the moment and nothing will change that.

His words, “It does not affect this mentality, it does not affect his quality and it does absolutely not affect his behaviour. He is fully committed to Chelsea right now.”

“I am absolutely sure he feels the trust and respect and the love from the club and from the spectators.”

“He is a big competitor and he is in exactly the right spot. He is in the most competitive league, he is at a club where he really matters and that suits him perfectly, so let’s be patient and hopefully we have a good ending.”

“Toni knows his role and he accepts his role and lives it to the absolute maximum.”

“We demand a lot and he delivers a lot. I think a good relationship always helps me as a coach and helps every player. We want to instal this and keep this. At the moment this is what we have and now it is Toni and my duty to keep this going.”
