Tuchel Has A Personal Grudge Against Trent – Gary Lineker

EPL legend Gary Lineker has said that he believes there is something personal between Thomas Tuchel and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Recall that the England manager left the Real Madrid right-back out of his latest Three Lions squad.

Describing Tuchel‘s decision to include White ahead of Alexander-Arnold as really insulting, Linker noted that there must be a personal grudge from Thomas’ end.

Gary added that Tuchel must have something against Trent’s defensive ability or attitude on and off the pitch.

His words, “You know I’m obviously a big admirer of Trent. I think there’s something personal because football-wise there’s no argument.

I can’t see how he can not be in that squad because he has to improve your chances, even if it’s from the bench.

So I suspect there’s something that Tuchel does not like about Trent Alexander-Arnold.

I’m just guessing in terms of what it might be, whether it’s his attitude, whether it’s he’s not brilliant defensively. There has to be something in that because it makes absolutely no sense.

You got players playing in his position, with all due respect, that are not in the same league as him, certainly with the ball at his feet.

As you saw in these kinds of games, you need someone with a bit of magic to unlock things, and he will provide you that. So it doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t know whether it’s his attitude or whatever it is, I don’t know.

But I find it also quite insulting bringing players in. We talk about the Ben White situation, for example, here. He’s not wanted to play for England. I wouldn’t judge him on that because we don’t really know what exactly happened in the camp and his reasons for not playing.

The players do within the squad, and you know there were talks about big fall-outs and him not being treated very well, you know, and then Tuchel says he’s called him up, he’s brought him in.

That’s fine, but I can’t see how he can still be ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold. I think that it’s really insulting to a seriously top full-back. So that’s my view.”

WOW.
