Thomas Tuchel has received his first full training session in England since he took over the manager of England, and is a moment.
The 26 players of this team of England were out (for training), but there were three additions, which is important. Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Liam Delap AND Adam Wharton Everyone was included from U21, so Tuchel decided that he wants more than 26 up at this training session.
We were expecting Cole Palmer To withdraw from this camp of England, but the Armed Forces has informed us that he is still being appreciated by Chelsea, so although he is not in St. George’s Park, he has not been excluded from quarrels for these two matches. I think you have to say that it is unlikely to be included.
England had an entry, warm session on the bar on Monday, but Tuesday was his first full training session and the first time with all the cameras. There were many German media as well, such is their interest in this, and Tuchel admitted that it is a very different work he has, being responsible for an international party.
He delivered a very inspiring, emotional welcome speech, I think, for players on their first night as a team, and he repeatedly spoke of a brotherhood among the players.
Tuchel wants to try and promote that excellent relationship that Gareth Southgate began in the middle of the team, but he stressed them sole goals, in terms of him, is the World Cup, and the attempt to win the World Cup now begins with this first international camp.
I have been really impressed with him since he started work. Tuchel has had the English media eating from the palm of his hands at every press conference he has made so far, and from all accounts, he had a similar response from the players of England, such was this inspiring speech he gave.
The players have been impressed by him, but it is a very short -term job. He has an 18-month contract, and he is already three months before playing his first game, so he must hit the ground running.
He does not have to try to bring the new players, he should try to win the World Cup and I think that’s why you are seeing some of the names involved in the camp.
‘Lewis-Skelly has the chance to be the first left choice’
Jordan Henderson It is probably the most controversial inclusion. He is 34 years old now, absolutely not one for the future – he is for here and now. There will be some supporters of England who think it was one for the past and may not be included.
But Thomas Tuchel said ‘absolutely none of them’. He called Henderson a winner, a leader, with great experience, and he is very part of his plans for the World Cup going forward. He is playing very well for Ajax, from all accounts.
ABOUT Marcus RashfordIt is a year since we saw him play for England. He has been reborn in Aston Villa – from the football desert to Manchester United, where he was simply not going well for him. He felt like he needed a break.
We know that Tuchel contacted him shortly after he was given work in England to say he was part of his plans, so I don’t think it is a great surprise he is in this team now.
There is a feeling between the press bodies and the people in football that Myles Lewis-Skelly has the chance to become the left of England’s first election for many years to come. It has been a problematic position for England for years and it is Mikel Artesa’s first choice for Arsenal.
He has overlooked U21 and has been directly called to the elderly. He is a great athlete, goes ahead, creates opportunities, but is very impressive protective. This is something tuchel will really appreciate.
Yes, sometimes that aggression has gone a little away. We’ve seen it seeing red twice – though with one of those red cards removed – and there was a feeling that he could have seen red even in the Champions League. But you do not want to remove that aggression from a defender like Lewis-Skelly.
And what five days And burn There were. He has never been trained or stayed in St. George’s park before. Almost each of England’s players knows St. George’s Park, they are trained here with new teams. Not so for burning.
We asked him about it and if he would celebrate by winning the Carabao cup a lot. And he said no, he was actually trying his teammates to be quiet on the bus around midnight, because all he wanted to do was go to sleep because he had an early call for England the next day.
Will he make his debut? We are looking forward to seeing this, but he gets his opportunity because of damage to Harry Maguire and Ben White, whom Tuchel says he is ready to return to Fold England when he is completely suitable. But it’s a chance that Burn is impressed in the meantime.
Was controversial at the extreme when Morgan Gibbs-White It was left out of Friday squad. In fact, Paul Merson said it is a shame that he was not involved in the first place. It is a chance for him to impress in the absence of Palmer, but there is a major competition in that position No10 – Bellingham, Foden and Palmer. Will Morgan Gibbs-White take the chance? He will hope so because he is spending the season of his life.
‘Bellingham and Kane Key for World Cup aspirations’
Jude Bellingham He is one of the old players now, despite his tender years, and is one of the most important members of this team of England if they have aspirations to win the World Cup.
He does not suffer fools with pleasure. I know there have been some drop with southgate, but while they do not always look at their eyes, there was great respect between the two. Can Tuchel feed a close relationship with Bellingham, bring out the best in it, make it a leader again in this team of England, and make it the best that can be?
This is probably a much easier thing to Harry Kane. Both men became very close while Tuchel was in charge of Bayern Munich, and England’s manager has confirmed that they will continue as his captain.
Kane is again in good shape now, completely convenient and fiery for Bayern Munich. He has 10 goals in the Champions League this season – this is more than any other Englishman has ever arrived in the competition. In general, he has 32 goals and 11 assists this season.
He is a purpose machine, a perfect professional, and he will be absolutely important for Tuchel’s hopes to win the World Cup. Kane is also influential with the rest of this team of England and you suspect Tuchel will want to feed it as much as he can.
Back three or four for tuchel?
This will be a major question in the coming days as we build the first match of Tuchel, which is against Albania in Wembley on Friday.
Many people in Chelsea remember that he played with three central returns, but it was because the players he had at his disposal adapted to this formation rather than necessarily the favorite Tuchel formation.
If you look what he did in PSG and Bayern Munich, he tends to play with four back, so I think it could be either. If you look for my sense of bowel, I think he will go with four backs mostly with England.
We know that the full defender has been a difficult position. If you are playing with three quarterbacks, there is a lot of expectations in full defenses to move forward and provide support for every attack of England. I’m not sure that he has exactly the staff fully appropriate to be able to do it.
And also, if you play with your back, I think it cancels where England is very strong, which is broad attack players. They have so many good offensive opportunities that you want those boys to be the people who are going down their wings and putting the crosses.
It can be something that evolves and changes. It can be something that tuchel is prepared to change in the middle of the matches – he has done it before. Tuchel will probably use both formations over the next 15 months.
