The manager of Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel has urged reporters to stop asking him about the ongoing war in Ukraine and the club's owner Roman Abramovich. 

Thomas Tuchel who is currently preparing his team for the 5th round of the FA Cup against Championship side Luton Town on Wednesday, March 2, said he has never experienced war, hance, he is not in the best position to talk about it. 

Tuchel who described Russia's invasion of Ukraine as "horrible" stressed that he is not a politician to keep talking about what is happening between Russia and Ukraine. 

The German coach said: "You have to stop, I am not a politician. 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."

Recall that since February 24, President Putin ordered the Russian military to invade Ukraine, the world's attention has been on Russia and everything connected to the country. 

Based on that, Chelsea football club has been under pressure because it is owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. Due to the pressure the club has been facing, Abramovich had to transfer the control of the club to the club's charity foundation board on Saturday, February 26, 2022. 

Despite such a decision, Chelsea has continued to be under the bad light of those who do not like Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

  1. I wonder when and why football is being mixed with politics. Now Roman Abrahamivich is rushing to sell Chelsea, and rightfully so, before it's taken away from him by the west.
