I am not a politician’ – Tuchel pleads for Abramovich questions to stop

Thomas Tuchel has pleaded for questions put to him about Roman Abramovich to end, saying he has “no answers”.

A visibly moved Tuchel asked reporters to stop asking him questions about the war in Ukraine, saying the situation is “horrible”.

“You have to stop, I am not a politician,” Tuchel said, eventually halting journalists after several questions at his pre-match press conference before Chelsea play Luton in the FA Cup.

 “I can only repeat myself, and I feel bad to repeat it as I never experienced war. So even to talk about it, I feel bad. “I’m very privileged as I sit here in peace. I do the best I can but you have to stop asking me these questions as I have no answers for you.”
