(Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has clarified Andreas Christensen was not able to play in the FA Cup final as opposed to refusing to play.)
Andreas came in the morning of the match to speak to me and tell me he was not ready to play the match, start the match, or be on the bench.
He had his reasons; they stay private and confidential. But it was not the first time, as you can see over the last weeks that we had some of the same situations where he could not play so regularly.
We thought that we were in a good progression and development because he played very strong in the match before the final against Leeds, but a conversation took place, we had to respect it, we of course respected it.
I don’t think that he did not want to play, he was not able to. It’s a big difference.

Christensen was absent on Saturday as Chelsea lost 6-5 on penalties to Liverpool at Wembley for the second time this season in successive domestic cup finals.
Tuchel outlined how Christensen had communicated he would be unavailable for selection on the day of the final but sought to clarify the defender had not refused to play.
“Andreas came in the morning of the match to speak to me and tell me he was not ready to play the match, start the match, or be on the bench,” Tuchel said ahead of Thursday’s Premier League match against Leicester.
“He had his reasons; they stay private and confidential. But it was not the first time, as you can see over the last weeks that we had some of the same situations where he could not play so regularly.
“We thought that we were in a good progression and development because he played very strong in the match before the final against Leeds, but a conversation took place, we had to respect it, we of course respected it.”
He continued: “I don’t think that he did not want to play, he was not able to. It’s a big difference.”
胜败游戏情怀感恩
球友胜败此时一刻
握手拥抱友情长存
空之广
他们没握手不拥抱
甲方东一步西一步
步步展业他人之步
步中藏着慈悲爱意
讲究克制有规
乙方进一步退一步
步步以防误解假设
步中藏着信任期望
讲究听从自然
寻求握手拥抱
胡恩乱想的跟随梦
最终翻牌显示
距离十万八千五百
