It’s safe to say that Thomas Tushel is still trying to find the right formula for the UK. The former Chelsea boss remembered some old names and introduced some fresh faces, but needs time to make the most of his options.
His latest team has once again sparked a lot of debate. There was a location for Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson and Ezri Consa, but Harry Maguire, Phil Foden and Trent Alexander Arnold were forced to watch from home.
His decisions have split opinions, but there is no denying that Tuchel is not afraid to make bold decisions – a feature that Gareth Southgate has undoubtedly been missing while in charge.
The Germans already remember Henderson and Rashford, and there may still be more returns on the card. For example, things like Ficayo Tomori were often overlooked by Gareth Southgate, despite often playing a starring role in AC Milan. Based on recent decisions, he should be among the people at the top of Tuchel’s list to be welcome back in the setup.
The experience may be the key to unleashing the silverware that Britain craves, and according to Tuchel, Henderson is a large part of that idea.
“He embodies everything. He’s a continuous winner, his personality and personality. He’s the glue for every team he’s played, the glue that makes things special.
“I’m sure. If a teacher at a school is sure about the quality of the class, the character of the class, it’s better than the other methods.”
It’s not the first time that a manager has surprised many with his decision. It wasn’t long ago that one English player had begged Tuchel not to play in his new position.
Tuchel shocked Loftasteak with his new position
After joining Henderson and Rashford and becoming the latest England recall, Reuben Loftus Cheek recalled that Touchel played him as a right-wing back.
The Milan midfielder revealed that he refused to play in that role before the Germans chose to experiment anyway. result? Four of Chelsea’s six goals against Southampton took part in a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid. Just as Tuchel’s decision was a strange thing back then, it simply worked wonders for Bruce.
Looking back at his wing back role earlier this week, Loftus Cheek said: “When he came to Chelsea, I remember when he told me about backing on the right.
It will be interesting to see back in England’s setup and see if the Milan midfielder finds himself once again in an unfamiliar role, or whether Touchel allows him to step into a position that frequently thrives in San Siro.
