1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 12th In an interview with talkSPORT, Tuchel talked about the personnel situation in England and the expectations for the team.
Talking about Kane
“Kane’s ability to put pressure on the frontcourt is unquestionable. He almost always participates in the opponent’s one-on-one half presses when he is at Bayern. Yesterday’s game, he was very devoted, but the team may not meet the requirements. We lacked enough courage in pressing highs, and the wingers did not dare to move forward, resulting in the defenders not being able to keep up with the wingers in time. At the break, we encouraged everyone to be braver and the situation improved. Kane is our captain and scorer, and he has scored four goals in four games since I took over the team. I think we can expect him to press highs, but it requires enough courage to support the defense.”
Talking about Arnold
“He can bring us something special, being able to connect with teammates and strengthen the chemistry of the team, and we will try to take advantage of these characteristics of him. If he does provide unique value, we will make sure he has a place. But that also applies to any player. If not, then ultimately we will pay more attention to the team than to the individual. In international games, it is very important to take the right team on the team, and everyone in the team understands their role, why he is there and what they need to contribute to the team, from that point we can go further.”
Talk to get Henderson back
“Frankly, so far, I don’t know the negative reactions of the fans, we’re very confident in the decision to recall him, and since I’ve talked with him face to face and observed his performance in training camp, I’m more convinced than ever that he is a very important part of the team. Especially when it comes to team connections, setting standards and maintaining high standards, he’s definitely the one I don’t want to miss. His body is still in good shape, he’s still in great shape, he’s still able to play for England, and I’m sure he’s still ambitious. He pushes the whole team in training, focusing on training attitudes and being able to unite players. When he’s on the team, the players we can see will perform better than when he’s not there, that’s all I want to say.”
Talk to give more opportunities to young players in international friendly matches
“Yes, it’s fair,Especially considering the situation of kicking Senegal. I noticed that Walker received a lot of criticism for his poor performance in this game, and Arnold was not in a good state, so this also involved the issue of alternative candidates. We decided to give Livramento a chance and we let him play in the U21, which is a very important event for me, and I can observe his performance as a leader. We had some problems in the selection of people, and I can understand everyone’s questions. We considered Adam Walton, but he was unable to play because of concussion. When we made the decision, we went through a lot of discussion and finally we decided to send out an experienced team. Sending Henderson home is not an option at the moment, because he can inspire other players’ form and has a huge impact on the entire team, and Walker’s performance makes him worthy of being on this list. ”
Talking about Bellingham’s best position
”This question also applies to many of our players, and in the eyes of the outside world, we have always believed that he can be competent for the sixth and eighth positions. However, he spent an excellent season at Real Madrid, serving as the fake nine, and constantly scoring goals can create opportunities. I saw that desire in him, the desire to rush to the front of the defender and bravely rush towards the ball. This fully demonstrates his determination to appear on the goal list, and he wants his name to be remembered, which is a good sign that we usually only see in the forwards. I think he is more suitable for the 10th or 8th position now than the 6th or 8th position, maybe he is a 10th! ”
Talk about expectations for England
“Maybe we need to adjust our expectations appropriately. For example, Senegal comes with the goal of winning games and making history, and we come with the goal of winning. If we win, will we be as happy as they do? I don’t think so, myself included. I would give positive feedback, but not yell, and I wouldn’t punch the box in the locker room, and they did it all. They felt more joy in the game than we did, which made me start to question whether we were setting limits on ourselves. We set high standards and requirements, but at some point, do we also need to admit that the other party is indeed very capable? We should celebrate goals more, be happier, and create an environment where players can express this joy more easily. Or is it just that we are naturally like this? Different cultures? I don’t have an answer, but I think that from training to competition, whether it’s playing in Andorra or Senegal, setting expectations correctly for the next international match days will make it easier for us to express our joy. ”
