Thomas Tuchel plans to “win” the right to sing the national anthem after discovering that he will not join Mr. Save the King during his first games as the Chief of England.
Tuchel has named a 26 men team for this month’s World Cup qualifiers with Albania and Latvia and has spent nearly 90 minutes talking to the media in Wembley on Friday.
The topic of the national anthem arose again, having been in the discovery of Tuchel in October, and the 51-year-old German explained his approach to the issue before his debut on the Channel of England against Albania on March 21.
“I think, first of all, you have a very powerful, emotional and significant national anthem and I could no longer be proud to be at the border and be responsible for the English national team,” Tuchel told the written media.
“It means everything. That means a lot to me, I can assure you, but I can feel because it is so significant and is so exciting and so powerful, the national anthem, that I have to win my right to sing it.
“I feel it’s not just a data. You can’t just sing it. That is why I decided that I won’t sing in my first matches.
“I will win it with results, by building a group, by doing my job properly and creating a feeling where you probably say guys say at one point,” Now is the time for you to sing it, feels like you have won it properly and you are a proper English guy now. “
“Maybe I have to dive more in the culture and earn my right from you, from players, from supporters, so everyone feels like,” He has to sing it now, he’s one of ours, he is the English manager, he has to sing it. “
