If you recall that Tuchel signed an 18-month contract with the Blues as he replaced Lampard who was sacked on Monday.
He said: 'I hope not (backlash from supporters) because that would be hard on the team.
'The fans are so close and behind the team, it makes a big difference. I know it was a big disappointment for the fanbase that Frank was sacked and I said before, I have the biggest respect.
Tuchel was on the touch line in Chelsea's goalless draw against Wolverhampton on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, the Blues will face Burnley this weekend.
Tuchel added: 'I was a huge fan of Frank as a player. I had a message to wish me all the best.
'The club made clear to me this is not my fault, I cannot change the situation for him.
'The decision was made and I was handed the opportunity.'
