Thomas Tuchel reveals positive talks with Callum Hudson-Odoi after Southampton substitution
According to Evening Standard, Thomas Tuchel is said to have resolved things with Callum Hudson-Odoi after the Southampton game.
What happened was, Hudson-Odoi was brought on at halftime but hauled off before the game ended. While Chelsea were held to a draw in the game, it was the Hudson-Odoi’s situation that left things a bit on the fiery side.
Tuchel went on to question the player’s attitude and energy’ in the game and explained his decision further.
“It is not a big thing at all for me. I have spoken to Callum, and I’ve spoken to the whole group. Sometimes, these things happen in football and it was just my decision.
Maybe I was being harsh on him because he was on my side of the pitch and I was up close to him, but I did not feel that he was really into the game.”
Tuchel further insisted that it was not a big issue, but people constantly talking about it makes it seem like a problem.
But that decision was in the moment and for that day only. For me, this is absolutely not a big thing and only becomes one if people want to talk about it.”
