Thomas Tuchel’s assistant coach, Anthony Barry, has explained why he believes England can win the FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the character of the Three Lions squad is incredible at the moment, and the boys clearly have the talent and mental fortitude to lift the trophy for the first time since 1966.
Barry added that there is a brotherhood among the England players right about now that makes winning the trophy very possible.
His words, “You start to do analysis. Okay, what’s the squad? What’s the mission? Pretty quickly we had the feeling that [winning the World Cup] is something we could do with this not only level of player but, we thought, character of player. We thought there were some real lads in the squad.
We have 360-degree profiling of all the players, psychological, technical, tactical, physical, and we don’t view them just as individual players but how they interact: how will this player psychologically affect this player, can he play with him tactically.
In international football, you will never create a team on the field that can play the way the Barcelona of old or the recent Man City did, it’s simply impossible.
But if you can create a brotherhood, a connection, an energy between each other, then that’s the petrol in the car. When I worked at Chelsea, I could tell by the players walking out the door [for international duty] who was going to win. I could tell, because they wanted to go.”
WOW.
