Has Tuchel’s first squad revealed England’s short-term strategy?
Henderson’s choice and Rashford’s return show Tuchel is ready to start with clean slate.
Henderson’s call stood out from the blue after his career in England like Rashford.
The former Liverpool captain had a bad fortune in Saudi Arabia and then returned to Europe with Ajax, Tuchel clearly saw enough people recalling him.
Tuchel seemed to want Henderson to have just as much influence on the court, saying: “What he brings every time is leadership, character, personality and vitality. He makes sure everyone lives by standards and character. He embodies everything we are trying to build.”
England’s head coach has long been a fan of Rashford and hopes to be a beneficiary of Aston Villa manager Unai Emery’s repair work during his forward career.
“I have a strong feeling that we should nominate him to push him to stay at his level and he is no longer trapped in the old routines,” he said.
Tacher’s words show that he realizes that Rashford was lost at Old Trafford, but also convinced that the 27-year-old can offer much to his New England.
Apparently, he is not the same for Manchester City’s Jack Grealish. He had hoped to miss him in the 2024 European Cup and although he was not often under manager Guardiola, he also hoped to make a comeback.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison is another, at least for the time being, he has been entrusted to the edge,
Tuchel recalls Chelsea’s Reece James and he knows when he returns from another hamstring injury.
He is a key member of Tuchel’s side, which won the Champions League in 2021, with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold injured, Kyle Walker, 34, Kyle Walker, 34, and accompany at AC Milan and Newcastle United’s Tino Livramento, but has not been confirmed.
