Tuchel is preparing for his first games at the head of England since he replaced Sir Gareth Southgate. His very first selection of Three Lions aroused many questions: the Newcastle defender Dan Burn, 32, was summoned for the first time as a national team.

The Three Lions gathered in St. George's Park on Monday and, before his first training, the former Chelsea coach delivered a fiery speech to inspire his players, as Burn revealed. The defender also said that Tuchel had his eyes on the 2026 World Cup, the German coach seeking to integrate the NBA rituals into the England team.

Tuchel explained that he had discussed with players from previous tournaments and other countries on the difference between their elimination at the start of the match and their victory.

I see a lot of similarities between Newcastle and England in this regard, so yes, it would be great for all those associated with this country (if England won the World Cup). I would say that after talking to him (Tuchel) last night, I am convinced that everything will be done to try to finally bring the trophy home.
