Tuchel Won’t Shy Away From Confrontations With England Players – Kane

Certain English players might not get along with Thomas Tuchel, Harry Kane has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if Tuchel likes the mentality of English players, he will not shy away from confrontation in the England camp if need be.

Kane added that there will be definitely be players who might disagree with some of his methods as England coach.

His words, “It was a surprise when it got announced. After he left Bayern, I just assumed he would go back into another club. I have worked closely with him and I know how good he can be. I think he really enjoys working with English players. I think he likes the mentality of English players.

Whether it’s videos or speeches, or whatever, he’s a really good motivator. And tactically he’s known for being one of the best. It will be interesting for him because he will experience only having 10-day camps and then not seeing us for a few months. Talking to the boys who worked with him at Chelsea, they seemed to get on well with him. He gets that balance right of having a bit of banter […], but when you’re on the pitch it is full focus.

He won’t shy away from confrontation if need be. I think he will be very straight-talking in the media. But he will always protect his players. He is pretty straight in how he talks, and maybe there were some players who didn’t like that or agree with that [at Bayern]. Probably come March there will be players who might disagree with some things. Time will tell, but I am looking forward to reuniting with him.

[His assistant, Anthony] Barry was really good for me at Bayern. It is a great opportunity for him [Tuchel] to do something special, something that’s never been done before. I’m sure he’s looking forward to the challenge.”

WOW.
