Tuchel: Under the current system, Kane, Foden and Bellingham cannot play at the same time
6686 Sports News on November 13 Previously, the England national team announced the latest roster, with Bellingham and Foden returning. When explaining the current national team roster to the media, England coach Tuchel said that he was unlikely to bring five No. 10 players to participate in next year's World Cup, and said that under the current system, Foden, Bellingham and Kane cannot play at the same time.
Tuchel explained: "If we maintain the current system, they cannot play at the same time. This is due to the need for strategic balance. At the wide forward position, we need players who specialize in this position (rather than No. 10 players like Foden or Bellingham). In our current system, there is only one No. 6, No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10."
“There are too many players to choose from, so we may not be able to bring everyone. For the players who are not selected, it is not because we don’t like them, nor because they are not good enough individually, but we always put the interests of the team first and win as the highest criterion. We always pursue a balanced lineup and strive to We need to maintain strategic clarity, even if it means we have to make difficult decisions. Every time we recruit players, we have to make difficult decisions, even for international competitions."
In the two national team games this month, the returning Bellingham and Foden will compete with Rogers and Eze for playing opportunities. It remains to be seen whether the two will start. Tuchel once called Foden a "No. 9.5 player" and believed that Foden could play the false No. 9 position.
When asked whether this would put more pressure on Foden, Tuchel responded: "Yes and no. Foden is a player with unique characteristics and can play two positions. He can play at both the 9th and 10th positions. This is his advantage in competing for the position of the core players. In Manchester City, he is basically a No. 8 player. , we may position him as the No. 8 player in the next few months. I think the possibility of bringing five No. 10 players to the World Cup is very slim, which will not help the team.”
The England team will face Serbia at home in the early morning of November 14, and then challenge Albania in the away team in the early morning of November 17.
