Chelsea XI to face Tottenham: Mendy; James, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly; Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Jorginho, Cucurella; Mount, Havertz, Sterling #CFC#TOTCHE standard.co.uk/sport/football…
Conte: "The referee showed me the red card but he didn't understand the dynamic of what happened. It's okay, I have to accept it. It's not a big problem." #CFC#CHETOT
Conte on his red card: "Honestly, I don't want to go back to it but there's TV and video to understand what happened. For sure, I am not passive. If I see aggression, I answer with aggression. I repeat; it is not a problem. It was a great game with two rivals." #CFC#CHETOT
Conte on the referee: "I never, never speak about referee decisions. Never. When I see others showing this kind of behaviour, it makes me angry. Everyone just does what they wants but I never make comments about referees in England." #CFC#CHETOT
Tuchel on Conte: "I just compared it to two players who have a bit of a fight on the field and nothing happens and no one got injured. It's PL football and both managers were fighting for our teams. That's it, nothing bad. Today it was part of the game." #CFC#CHETOT
Tuchel seems more angry at the referee Anthony Taylor than Spurs manager Antonio Conte.
"I can't understand. The whole dressing room can't understand it." #CFC#CHETOT
Tuchel: "It was a brilliant match. What a step up from the first day at Everton. I am frustrated the players don't get the rewards they deserve. It's down to these incredible decisions." #CFC#CHETOT
Worth getting the matchday programme today. Todd Boehly has done his first notes as the chairman, owner and interim sporting director. #CFC#CHETOT
Todd Boehly: "On behalf of the new Chelsea board, I'd like to welcome you all back to Stamford Bridge. We are excited and honoured to be here with you - your dedication, passion and loyalty have kept the blue flag flying high." #CFC#CHETOT
Todd Boehly: "There is a simple mantra that guides us every day: we want to win, together and make you proud."
"We want to build on this remarkable history of success by acquiring quality talent across our senior, youth and women's team." #CFC#CHETOT
Tuchel on Fofana: "Not matter how good your question will be, I will not comment." #CFC
Tuchel on transfers: "We could do with one more central defender." #CFC
Tuchel on strikers: "I think we could strengthen our squad in depth in both [attack and defence]. It depends on what's possible. You don't always get what you wish for. We are calm and ambitious at the same time. There's still a few more days left in the transfer period." #CFC
Nadine Dorries statement on Chelsea: "The Club will be free from previous operating restrictions imposed by sanctions from the point the new ownership takes effect, and we expect this to take place in a matter of days." #CFC
An 'allotment of shares' has just been made within Chelsea FC PLC showing that the process to complete the purchase is happening.
Tuchel on injuries: "Kovacic is out for the game. It's a ligament injury, hopefully not longer than two weeks but that can be a long time for us in terms of games. Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ben Chilwell are out. Some other players are doubts but hopefully okay." #CFC
Tuchel says Chilwell won't play again this season but may train with the academy in the next few weeks, joining the first team training by the end of the season but not to play.
