Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>New Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has said they have to be \u201crealistic\u201d about winning the Premier League title this season.<\/p>\n

Tuchel took charge of his first game on Wednesday night \u2013 a 0-0 draw with Wolves at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

The German is under no illusions he will be expected to fight for the title, but he believes the Blues have \u201cthe capacity to hurt everybody in every league\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, he suggested that a top-four finish would be an acceptable result this season, although he pointed out there are \u201ca lot of teams and points\u201d between Chelsea and the Champions League spots.<\/p>\n

Tuchel said: \u2018The title, ooh, far away. We have to be realistic at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you sign for Chelsea as manager, it is absolutely right you sign for the expectation to fight for titles; Premier League, Champions League and cups.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely clear, but at the same time we have to be realistic that there are a lot of teams and points between us and fourth.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo maybe it\u2019s the best time now to step up in the middle of the season. Don\u2019t lose the focus in looking too far.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m absolutely sure we have the capacity to hurt everybody in every league and competition and it\u2019s my job to bring evidence of that as fast as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
