Tuchel criticises fans who called Abramovichi's name when applauding Ukraine

A minute of applause was held in Turf Moor before the Chelsea game at Premier League against Burnley on Saturday, during which calls of Abramovich's name could be heard in a Sky Sports broadcast.

If we show solidarity, we show solidarity and we have to do it together. We kneel together, if an important person from other clubs or our club unfortunately dies, we show a minute of respect,” told reporters after the match, which Chelsea won 4-0.

“This is not the time to deliver other messages, it is a moment to show respect. We do this because that's what we as a club are, we show respect as a club. We need our fans engaged for this minute of applause. We do this for Ukraine, there's no second opinion of the situation there. They have our prayers and our support, and we must stay together as a 55x1> club, Tucell said.

Chelsea's billionaire owner, Abramovich, announced earlier this week that he was planning to sell the club after nearly 20 years at the helm.

During this period, Chelsea has won two League Champions and five Premier League titles.
