Thomas Tuchel has censured the Stamford Bridge swarm and required the Chelsea fans "to be better" when they have Real Madrid in the primary leg of their Champions League quarter-last on Wednesday.
There was a level climate at the Bridge as the Blues experienced a 4-1 loss to west London rivals Brentford on Saturday, and Tuchel says his side will require a twelfth man in the rematch of last season's semi-last.

We really want everyone on the front foot. It's a major match, quarter-finals, against a major rival. It's a major event. I feel that ordinarily, we have these sorts of environments in the evening games and large matches all through this season.
"Onlookers in the Champions League matches gave us an enormous push regarding environment and energy. We want it. It's essential in these games. We feel it in each away game when we play to win: Malmo, Saint Petersburg, Lille. It's really hard and it's a lot harder to play against the observers also. We will confront it one week from now in Madrid, so everyone should be on a high level. We need to set the flash yet everyone's requirements to show up tomorrow prepared to help."
Tuchel conceded his side will expect to "make a statement" after the shock misfortune to the Bees, which leaves them investigating their shoulders at pursuing opponents Tottenham and Arsenal.
"We are out there to make a statement at any rate and to return quickly from Saturday's exhibition and to play in the correct manner, the manner in which we need to play," he said. "We need to be physical, extreme, centered, and to be at our absolute best since this is what we really want. We defeated Real Madrid last season however that doesn't have anything to do with our planning. It's another mentor, another group. It's with onlookers and it's again all set.
"We discussed [the Brentford game], however no unique discussions, no exceptional group talk. We spoke straightforwardly about it in a post-op interview, which is exceptionally regular for us. We set new targets which is what you do in wear regardless of whether you win or lose. It was a critical misfortune and we totally could have done without what occurred. We think about this as the exemption for the standard. We permitted ourselves on Monday to zero in on the match tomorrow since it's required."
Genuine won the Champions League in four out of five seasons from 2013-to 2018 and, while they actually have large numbers of similar players, they are generally considered to the passed the pinnacle of their powers.
Tuchel, however, is watchful that Los Blancos are as yet equipped for delivering extraordinary events, as they demonstrated in the last-16 against Paris Saint-Germain while demanding his players won't lose rest agonizing over Real's assets.
"It's difficult to keep up their record," he said. "They won it multiple times [in a row] this opposition and it's an extraordinarily hard competition to win and they did it multiple times. They believed in a practically comparative crew throughout a significant stretch of time which was great and remarkable. It's generally expected that cycles like this change eventually.
