The fans believe that England’s current head coach, Thomas Tuchel, has made a “dig” at Gareth Southgate, who was the former manager of the Three Lions.
However, Tuchel did not officially begin his new role as England manager until the beginning of this year, despite the fact that he was appointed to the position in October.
On Friday, he will be in charge of the team for the first time, and they will play Albania at Wembley Stadium. This will be the first of ten World Cup qualifiers that will take place before the tournament in 2026.
When they play Latvia on Monday, the Three Lions will be playing at the national stadium for the first time since Monday. The most important goal, and one that could be considered the only one, for Tuchel is to win the World Cup, which will take place between June and July of the following year. This is something that no England manager has accomplished since Sir Alf Ramsey led Bobby Moore and the rest of the team to victory over West Germany in 1966.
Since that time, the most far England has progressed in the World Cup finals is the last four stage, which they achieved in 1990 and 2018 under the guidance of Sir Bobby Robson and Southgate. In addition, supporters believe that Tuchel made a snide reference to his predecessor in a recent interview.
“They were more afraid to drop out of the tournament than they were to have the excitement and hunger to win it,” Tuchel said to ITV of England’s performance at the European Championships in the summer of last year, when England was defeated by Spain in the championship match by a score of 2-1.
He went on to say that “excitement” was the missing piece of the puzzle.
On social media, fans were quick to voice their opinions and opinions.
“Man s****** on Southgate and his playing style – I’m here for it,” expressed one of the individuals. I join Tuchel in this.”
A different individual stated: “Go on Tuchel, Southgate was a terrible manager that won nothing and then got a knighthood for losing.”
Later, on Thursday afternoon, Tuchel held a press conference in which he elaborated on his previous statements.
Tuchel stated, “It was just my feeling,” on the matter. “I believe that it was a statement that was pretty clear. I am at a loss for words to adequately express what I know. However, I believe that it should be the other way around. I would like for us to play with a hunger for victory, a desire to win, and a joy to win.
The ability to accept defeat is an essential component, particularly in the sport of football. We hope to bring about a sense of togetherness and joy, in which everyone is able to freely express themselves and perform to the best of their abilities.
“To compete with a desire and a joy to win, rather than with a fear of experiencing defeat.” It is a well-known fact that anything can occur in football, but the primary objective is to achieve victory.
