After Beating Liverpool, Chelsea Now Aims To Win Premier League
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has said his side is not only playing to qualify for the Champions League but also aiming to win the Premier League.
Tuchel said this after Chelsea defeated Liverpool at the Anfield Stadium
The win sees Chelsea move into top four leaving Tuchel with 10 matches unbeaten since taking over at the London side.
“We didn’t think this way,” he told reporters after Chelsea’s win over Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Mason Mount’s first-half strike was all the Blues needed to secure all three points and move into the top four displacing West Ham United.
“We have already been in the top four after a win against Newcastle and we cannot lose the focus by looking at fixtures all the time, it does not help,” Tuchel said.
“There are still 11 games to go, still a long way, we are in the race. We closed the gap very quickly and it is a big effort and now we are in the middle of the race and we need to keep going.
“But this league, the competition in the Champions League and FA Cup, drives us and it is not time to lay back and become too relaxed.
“I have a hungry group and I am hungry and we are not finished.”
