Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has said that he has not spoken to England’s players about any potential records. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, his only focus is on the hunger to compete and kick on towards the World Cup, so every other thing is a distraction at this point.
Tuchel added that his players are hungry to face Albania and he trusts them to play convincing football.
His words, “We didn’t speak a single word about that.
We made sure yesterday that we had yesterday the training session that we had. The quality and the mentality of the guys that didn’t play was on the highest level, which was a pure pleasure.
It just showed me that we are going in the right way.
Everyone is ready to play, everyone is ready to start. Competition is still on, the hunger is still on to be on the pitch tomorrow. That is the most important.
Everything we talk about is about the process and the things we can influence. We need to get the foundation right to have a chance to get these records.
Just by thinking about it or talking about it, nothing will change.
We need to deliver tomorrow again and, like I said, the feeling and the trust is absolutely there because I witness this in the camp so I trust my players to perform again tomorrow.
No, I don’t think so. It is possible but I don’t think that will happen. There is still a long way to go.
We will go with a very balanced squad, I guess this as I’ve never picked a World Cup squad.
This is something for between March and May but the general idea is to pick a balanced squad with different characters and qualities.
I cannot rule out going with just one striker but it is very likely we will have more classic number nines.”
