Thomas Tuchel : 'We weren't ready'

Thomas Tuchel

“We weren’t ready to play a game. It’s as easy as that. We weren’t mentally ready to play a big game like this. The level of play was very poor, both sides didn’t play well but it’s out fault because we weren’t ready. I was surprised because to me it was an opportunity to carry on what we were doing, to push on and we just took a big step back instead.”

“We knew that it would be a tough game and we didn’t get the result we wanted. We also knew that it was an important game and tiredness isn’t a valid excuse. I saw Neymar after the game and he was calm and composed. Now we’re going to wait for the test results. Our goal is to win the next nine points.”
