Thomas Tuchel claims Chelsea are happy to play the bad guys in the FA Cup final showdown at Wembley.Blues boss Tuchel agrees with Pep Guardiola that "everyone in the country supports Liverpool" but he insists that his side will not be bullied by Jurgen Klopp's men as they look for revenge for their Carabao Cup Final defeat earlier this season.He said: "I'm not a Liverpool fan.

I can understand why Pep made that comment. It is hard to argue with it. I think there is a huge sympathy for Liverpool in the country and they work hard for it."If we are the bad guys, no problem, we take that role.

We don't want the sympathy of the country, we want to have the trophy." Tuchel reckons you don't just play Liverpool when you take on the Reds - you play their history and reputation.

But the German reckons charismatic countryman Klopp has used that to his advantage since he arrived at Anfield. Tuchel said: "Kloppo is the master of being the underdog. "He can talk you into being the underdog against Villareal and against Benfica, and it’s a miracle how they even draw against them.
