Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel insists his system isn't defensive.
Some Dutch pundits have claimed Tuchel plays a defensive style of game.
But the German says: "Well, what's defensive and what's offensive? I think you could debate that for hours, weeks, years. For me it's more that my team has to stay active.
"Indeed, if you look at the Champions League final, we didn't have much possession and of course we had to defend because of the quality of Manchester City, but we were never passive.
"We never parked the bus for our purpose. When a match is active, it is attractive. So you must always have answers and respect the strength and strategy of your opponent."
