(Video): “He did fantastic” – Tuchel picks out one player for praise in final defeat

Thomas Tuchel has just had his press conference after Chelsea’s FA Cup final defeat, and the Blues boss was understandably quite negative considering the circumstances.

He did find one thing to be happy about though – Reece James’ performance.

The defender played centrally with Azpi out wide, and did a brilliant job marking Jamie Vardy out of the game.

“He did fantastic,” Tuchel said of his young talent after another impressive showing in a big game. It was a bad day at the office all round, but at least there was one bright start to enjoy.
