Chelsea to play Villarreal in the European Super Cup in Belfast.

Londoners head coach Thomas Tuchel made a comment before the match, noting that it was difficult for the team to balance preparations for the season.

" Some players in our team played no more than a half, others have several weeks of preparation and four whole matches behind them.

Our coaching staff does double the amount of work. All workouts are divided into two sessions. We needed to provide good preparation for different groups of players. For many of my guys, preparations for a very challenging season will continue in the coming weeks.. After the next pause for international matches [early September], many of our players will already be in better shape.

We need to find a balance. We shouldn't be distracted and we shouldn't think too much about our tasks and expectations.. This is an everyday process, and if you approach it well, then you should not be distracted..

This is a new experience for me - I have no idea what exactly to expect. But the players returned from loan with a great mood, and this pleasantly surprised me. It is useful for players to feel more confident and know where they will pursue their careers. They have families, it's not always easy. But we have a wonderful atmosphere in our team, "
