Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has hit out at Antonio Conte\u2019s claim that he is yet to figure out how to properly use Romelu Lukaku.<\/p>\n

The Blues have also lost to Manchester City and Juventus in that time.<\/p>\n

Ex-Chelsea coach Conte, who led Lukaku to a Serie A title with Inter last season, suggested Tuchel has not figured out the best approach for the player yet but now the German has responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Conte] was obviously not on the telly after the Tottenham game.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, if you watch this game against Juventus isolated, he is right on that point and he\u2019s obviously in the TV studio to analyse this one game \u2013 so he\u2019s right, no discussion about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s not a general thing. If you watch the other games he\u2019s maybe not right. I don\u2019t feel offended. I even saw [him on TV] while I was showering before the match in the hotel,\u201d Tuchel told the club\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
