Tuchel is absolutely in love with Kanten: I dreamt of him and now he's my player.

Thomas Tuchel talked about the importance of NColo Cantes prior to Wednesday evening's semifinal Champions League match against Real Madrid.

With Mateo Kovacic injured, Kante was excellent at the Chelsea Midfield alongside Jorginho, the Periscope broadcast.

He must admit I'm going to hug him, I do that amount,” Tuchel first told the Frenchman.

He's a good guy, almost shy. He's calm, he likes his own quality time and is not noisy.

I see him smiling a lot, I see him having contacts with everyone in his own way, very shy and kind but I'm so happy that players like him exist, it's a pleasure to be seen.

He's the man they need to win the trophy. That's why I'm so glad it's this way.

I've dreamed of this player, I've fought for this player in every club I've been to, and now he's my player. He's won a lot of trophies, except for the League Champions. I'm sure he'll do anything to win this trophy.

For me, he's an example, an extraordinary arrival for any team in the world. That's the key, it'll be the key tomorrow.” /Periscope. com/
