Thomas Tuchel finds himself in a delicate situation in England. The former PSG coach, now coach of the Three Lions, faces an unprecedented wave of criticism after the announcement of his list for matches against Wales and Latvia. The situation could quickly be able to ventilate if the German does not rectify the shot, even if it has never been the type to be influenced in his choices.

“Tuchel should be arrested!” »»

The formula is ironic but reveals the extent of the anger of English supporters.
“Thomas Tuchel should be arrested for choosing Jordan Henderson rather than Adam Wharton”Lance @FPlPriceChanges on social networks. Another reaction goes even further: “Not selecting Adam Wharton should be enough to put Tuchel in the Tower of London. This type is a Sven Light, a lightened capello. »»

The absences of Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Adam Wharton cause total misunderstanding. Foden, back in shape with Manchester City after physical seeds, is ignored. Grealish, author of 4 assists in 6 games with Everton after his loan from City, does not appear in the list either. As for Wharton, in great shape with Crystal Palace, he is sacrificed for the benefit of Jordan Henderson.

The Tuchel controversy: Foden, Grenish and Bellingham absent!

Bellingham also left out

Even Jude Bellingham, however elected English player of the year for season 24-25, is missing. The middle of Real Madrid, back after a shoulder operation in July, did not convince Tuchel despite his performance with the Merengue. A decision that adds to the feeling of general misunderstanding.

Tuchel justifies his choices by the desire to keep the group that crushed Serbia 5-0 in September. But this logic does not pass to fans who see players in a brilliant form dismissed in favor of conservative choices. The German must quickly prove that his method works, under penalty of seeing the pressure rise even more.
