Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says he will not change the team's style of play to assist Romelu Lukaku.

The German coach criticized the Belgian forward's performance following the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.

And when asked about the possibility of changing the system to suit the 28-year-old star, Tuchel replied as quoted by Tribalfootball: "We do everything to help him, it is absolutely the wrong question because it is focusing on one player.

"He is a key player and we want him to be a key player but this is for me the wrong approach."

"This is what we do by the way constantly, for any player.

"It's a team sport, not about ten players serving one player. This is not Chelsea or football. Every player serves one team, this will never change."
