“Let’s be honest – I don’t like it because it brings noise we don’t need. It’s easy to take lines out of context – of course, I don’t like it, it’s the noise we don’t need and it does not help. It would’ve been loud anyway [regardless of the timing of comments]. If you’re such a big player like Romelu is. He surely knows what kind of value it has when he speaks out,” Tuchel said.

The manager also revealed that he’ll have a conversation with Lukaku behind closed doors because he doesn’t see his player being unhappy at Chelsea. He also added that the Belgian’s words do not reflect in his actions every day in London.
“We will talk with Lukaku openly behind closed doors. I am surprised because I don’t see him unhappy – the opposite. We here can take the time to try to understand what is going on with Romelu, it does not reflect the daily attitude,” Tuchel said.
