"He is a top player and [there is] a lot to take care of and be aware of to control him on Sunday. What he does in the future is in his hands."
Tuchel joined Chelsea after the club parted ways with

"I hope that England never tries to play like Spain or Brazil,"
he said.
"Brazil plays like Brazil, Argentina like Argentina and Spain like Spain. This is the beauty of it.
"It's like in club football. That's what we love about European competitions - that it is a clash of styles, a clash of cultures.
"You have so many talented young players, you have so many experienced personalities, and you have an English squad full of experience of a tight schedule and a super tough league.
"I'm very sure [England manager Gareth Southgate] is absolutely delighted with the selection he can choose from.
"You have a very strong side and a bright future because you have a lot of young players and you have the league that brings out the very best in you."
