It takes a mixture of luck, moments and quality to eliminate a team of Real Madrid’s stature. And if luck must be defied, we will defy it “.
He also had words for Carlo Ancelotti. “His way of being, his CV and his experience make him a kind of father to his footballers. Everyone must follow the path of which they are convinced. I don’t think the only thing he does is pick eleven players and that’s it. What he does is not a game of chance “, he commented.
“We will focus on content, offer simple solutions and play with a certain freedom. It might be a brief moment that brings us to the top of the wave and that’s what we’ll try to take advantage of. “I think we also have some experience,” he added.
Regarding experience in this type of match, Tuchel admitted that “I wouldn’t have any business if that’s what it was about because Ancelotti beats me in that. He’s a legend and what he brought to football is incredible. He is a humble and respectful guy, a gentleman from head to toe. Generally, we will play against the jersey and against the myth. Therefore, I think the best thing we can do is to focus on football content when preparing for the match. “.

This is a 180-minute qualifier, not a 90-minute qualifier.
Regarding feeling favorites, the Italian said that “we have confidence and a lot of respect for Bayern. He didn’t have a fantastic season in the Bundesliga, but he had a spectacular game against Arsenal. . Arsenal are a very strong team in Europe and they played two spectacular matches. We have to take into account the quality and history of this club in the Champions League, which is very similar to what we have done and counts for a lot.
Finally, he declared that “I think the coach does not have the most important role. . Never. There are two categories, those who do nothing and those who do a lot of damage. I try to be in the first group. Players must have a good understanding of teamwork. The difference is the equipment “.
