Muy caliente terminó el empate a dos entre Chelsea y Tottenham en el comienzo de la Premier League con un encontronazo entre los dos técnicos Thomas Tuchel y Antonio Conte quienes casi terminan a los golpes.

Tuchel tuvo una actitud muy retadora durante el juego con Conte y al finalizar el encuentro al darse la mano el técnico del Chelsea pareció no soltar a su rival y exigió que lo mirara a los ojos lo que comenzó una guerra de empujones.

Ambos estrategas se fueron expulsados tras el incidente donde hasta las bancas se involucraron pues no es común ver a los técnicos de ambos equipos empujarse de esa manera.

Los ánimos entre ambos técnicos estuvieron muy calientes durante todo el juego e incluso Antonio Conte ya respondió a Thomas Tuchel en su cuenta de Instagram recordando el festejo del segundo gol del Chelsea y una frase muy provocadora.

“Menos mal que no te vi.. hacerte tropezar habría sido bien merecido..”, escribió Conte en una historia.

Tuchel and Conte have it out in three-round affair

Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte were both red carded after some handbags at full time

Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte fought all throughout, and then after, Chelsea and Tottenham’s action-packed 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Both coaches were red carded at full time after their post-game handshake inevitably devolved into another headed confrontation.

The action on the pitch was plenty entertaining on its own but on the sidelines, the German and Italian had it out in a three-round affair.

Round One

Tottenham’s 68th-minute equalizer through Pierre-Emile Højbjerg was highly controversial, as it appeared that Rodrigo Bentancur fouled Kai Havertz in the build-up. After the goal stood, Tuchel and Conte had their first clash of the afternoon and were both yellow carded.

Round Two

Chelsea appeared to have won the match in the 77th minute when Reece James scored, and Tuchel made sure his counterpart knew how elated he was by sprinting past Conte along the touchline.

Round Three

After Harry Kane equalized with a dramatic stoppage-time header, Tuchel and Conte decided that, despite their previous issues throughout the match, that the traditional post-game handshake was still in order.

We all knew how this would turn out.

The aftermath

“I thought when we shake hands you look in each other’s eyes, Antonio had a different opinion,” Tuchel told Sky Sports after the game.

The Chelsea manager also pointed out his belief that Richarlison was offside on Tottenham’s first goal and also fumed over what he felt was a missed call on Cristian Romero for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair.

“There was a clear foul on Kai Havertz and the situation goes on and on. Richarlison was offside and when can you pull hair on a football field?”

Conte, for his part, tried to play down the clash with Tuchel.

“I don’t want to comment on the [Tuchel] situation, this is not the most important thing,” he told Sky Sports. “If there’s a problem, it’s between me and him.”

Tuchel angry with Barcelona over Azpilicueta pursuit as Koundé arrival nears

“I’m not sure if I want to give Azpi what he wants”

ORLANDO — Chelsea’s defensive overhaul is starting to take shape.

Kalidou Koulibaly completed his £34 million transfer from Napoli last week, and Jules Koundé is reportedly set to join — despite a noncommittal response from manager Thomas Tuchel during Friday’s Florida Cup media day at Universal Studios.

Chelsea will face London rival Arsenal at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday in a preseason friendly at Camping World Stadium.

“I will not give an update,” Tuchel told reporters when asked about Sevilla defender Koundé. “I’m not sure if it’s true.” The Guardian reported that a deal has been reached for around £55 million, and the 23-year-old Frenchman will sign a five-year contract.

Koundé offers flexibility on the right side of defense, perhaps on the outside of Tuchel’s preferred back-three formation. That raised the question of whether Koundé’s addition could allow César Azpilicueta to make his preferred move to Barcelona.

Tuchel expressed aggravation at Barcelona’s advances toward Azpilicueta, who is contracted to Chelsea through next summer.

“I’m not sure if I want to give Azpi what he wants,” Tuchel said. “At some point, it’s also about us.”

Tuchel believes Azpilicueta, who joined the Blues in August 2012, will handle the situation professionally despite Barcelona being “permanently on him.”

Chelsea might not yet be done shopping for defenders. Tuchel expressed a desire for a left-footer to complement Thiago Silva, Kounde and Koulibaly, though the Senegalese star can operate on the left.

The Blues have been linked with a move for PSG’s Presnel Kimpembe and RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol, though it is unclear if either deal will go through.

Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen departed the club earlier this summer on free transfers, to Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively.

“We need numbers, but we also need quality,” Tuchel said. “We will make some decisions late, not only about players but also about system.”

¡Chelsea campeón! El caballo negro levanta su segunda Champions

Tremenda final de Champions League nos regalaron Chelsea y Manchester City que se definió con un solitario gol en favor de los Blues

Tremenda final de Champions League nos regalaron Chelsea y Manchester City, pues aunque se definió con un solitario gol en favor de Chelsea, hasta el último momento las emociones estuvieron a flor de piel.

Thomas Tuchel le ganó la partida a Pep Guardiola con un Chelsea que tuvo en N’Golo Kanté a su mejor hombre, una aspiradora de pelotas que supo aparecer con su pierna salvadora para robarle el esférico al Manchester City en los momentos clave del partido.

El Estadio Do Dragao de Porto se vistió de gala para recibir de nueva cuenta a la afición en una final de Champions League, y vaya que lo disfrutaron los fanáticos del Chelsea que nunca dejaron de alentar y en los minutos finales fue ese jugador número 12 para su equipo.

Chelsea esperó a Manchester City y en la contra le hizo daño, Kai Havertz, un recién llegado al club, en la fabulosa renovación que tuvo el Chelsea esta temporada y que culminó con el título de Champions, le dio a su equipo el segundo título con un golazo que se va para las vitrinas de Stamford Bridge en el elegante barrio de Fulham en Londres.

Chelsea partió toda la fase final de esta Champions como el no favorito, se instaló en semifinales como el caballo negro y hoy es campeón. La segunda Champions League para el Chelsea, la primera la había ganado hace no micho tiempo, en la temporada 2011-2012 en los nueve años más históricos de los Blues que ya levantaron dos Champions y dos Europa League en menos de una década.

Justo campeón, Manchester City luchó, pero no pudo acercarse mucho al área de Chelsea que puso un cerrojo en su propio campo todo el segundo tiempo amarrando el ansiado título de Europa.
