“My last piece of information is that we have an airplane, so we can fly. If not, we’ll go by train or by bus. If I have to drive a seven-seater, then I will do it,” said Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel with regard to the Champions League second leg in Lille on Wednesday. According to a report in the British tabloid Sunday Mirror, Chelsea professionals and other employees have already been informed that private jets and luxury hotels are now taboo. “They joke at the club that they fly to the away games with Easyjet,” the paper quoted an insider as saying, “but they only say it half-jokingly.”
