England manager Thomas Tuchel has said that England will be underdogs at the 2026 World Cup. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, his squad cannot be considered one of the favourites to prevail at the forthcoming World Cup when they’ll be up against quality footballing nations like Brazil, Argentina, Spain and France
He added by warning superstar England players that he is ready to overlook talented individuals to create collective harmony.
His words, “We will arrive as underdogs in the World Cup because we haven’t won it for decades, and we will play against teams who have repeatedly won it during that time, so we need to arrive as a team otherwise we have no chance.
If you’ve never won Wimbledon, you may be one of the favourites but you are not the favourite. You can go and if you come close, OK, you are within the pool, but you are not the favourite. It is just how it is.
There is Brazil, there is Argentina, Spain, France and they just did it recently. It doesn’t mean we have no chance and we know very well. First we will qualify and then we will know exactly why we go there.
When I hear people talking about their titles in international football or their missed chances I hear always the same song: we have been a team or we haven’t been a team. It is always the same song in international football.
I also think it is the same headline in club football, but even more if you stick together 24/7 for a nine-day period, and then as long as possible in America, you have to be a group, you have to be a strong group.”
WOW.
