Every word Thomas Tuchel said on Chelsea win, Koulibaly, Chilwell, Gallagher, Werner and more

"It was a very difficult match, a very difficult opponent for the first match. Normally you start a bit against a lower league opponent, but this was very tough. Also, the environment, playing in a big stadium with a big crowd against an opponent like America who are already in competition. It was tough.

"First half was tough for us to create clear chances, but we had one and couldn't score. But we kept a clean sheet, and second half, we found better solutions and looked more dangerous. So good first half, very good second half. We deserved to win, and I'm happy we took it."

"We are super happy that he's back, and you can see it's a difference from training to the game, and he will take his time. He will get this time because he deserves it.

"He brings experience, quality, top defending, quality, height, everything we're looking for to play a back three of back four. It's a brilliant signing, another brilliant signing for us, and we hope that he can show his quality as soon as possible.

"He is now training outside after he arrived yesterday, and we've very happy. He knows some of the players - he plays with Edou with the national team and knows Jorgi from Napoli - so I think from this side, it will be quick that he feels welcome in the group. It's a nice group, and everyone is happy he is with us now."

"We need to see, but everybody is responsible for their own situation, as is Timo. Timo played 45 like everybody else, and he scored. That's what counts,
