Oct. 9 (Bloomberg) -- In an interview with a reporter, the
Chelsea
Manager Tuchel talks about whether Jorginho can win the Ballon d'Or, Lukaku's return to the
Chelsea
European crown
Defeat to Juve and arguments about Atalanta.
Jorginho (name)
Speaking about Jorginho, Tuchel stated, "I think Jorginho deserves the Ballon d'Or because he is a very intelligent player and I'm happy to be his coach and coach him. Jorginho has a very good view of soccer, he always thinks clearly and understands it well. But in my opinion, individual awards don't really have a great meaning, because we can never put so many players with different positions together to make a real comparison and choose the best among them. I would like my player to win the Ballon d'Or, because I know what it would do and how much it would encourage the player. Other than that, I know Jorginho very well, I know that Jorginho is a very good person and a very good player, but in general, that's not the most important thing."
Lukaku (name)
Tuchel then talks about the quiz to sign Romelu Lukaku back in
Chelsea
negotiations, he made it clear: "I am for the world
Milan (Italy)
We're sorry for the fans, but like all other teams, we're trying to make the squad stronger. We're looking to bring in a very physical striker in the transfer market, a bridgehead up front, a strong player with strong attributes that will take the pressure off the younger players and allow us to play faster paced soccer. And to return to
England Premier Soccer League
The field of play and being back playing for the team he grew up with is also very important for Lukaku, and at the same time I know that he is a very good person."

Finding confidence. I'm not saying that.
Juventus, Italian football team
I don't deserve this win, I'm just saying that we didn't make any mistakes against Atletico and played with patience. It's hard to analyze the loss to

of that race, and of course, I'm going to have to comment on the
Juventus, Italian football team
The performance and Allegri's command showed certainty."
Atlanta
Tuchel, who has also played Atalanta in Europe, said of Atalanta: "I played against Gasperini's Atalanta during my time in charge of Paris Saint-Germain, and when I profiled them, I almost fell in love with their team. Their style of play is quirky, original and frenetic. Their players were so physical and active that we couldn't play like them, and they always scored a lot of goals. Sometimes I wonder if Atalanta is really an Italian team, they make me doubt myself. And it was this team that made me have to get up early in the morning to keep working and studying them."
