Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says they were "too passive" for defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.

Chelsea are Turin for their Champions League clash with Juventus tonight.

"You always adapt to the players you have and their strengths and weaknesses," said Tuchel.

"We have shown we can play a high pressing game and have ball recoveries with Romelu. It's a very complex game. We will have to be better in all spaces of the game.

"We were too passive in the game against Manchester City. The defensive plan maybe also led to this passive behaviour, which was not the plan, but it led to it.

"The best way to defend is having the ball and using the moments of ball losses better for counter-pressing. This is what City did excellently. There is enough room to bounce back and we must show that."
