Thomas Tuchel, the head coach of the England football team, is encouraging players to match their joyful training attitude with their performance in matches. Despite a win over Andorra in a World Cup qualifier, Tuchel expressed disappointment with the team's playing style and isolation on the pitch. He stresses the need for better connections and interactions among players. With an upcoming friendly against Senegal and the Club World Cup participation looming, Tuchel highlights the importance of clear instructions and playing with freedom, urging players to shake off pressure and perform with confidence.
"I see us train with a smile, but not play with a smile. We need to improve, for sure. We need to improve in connections, in support, in interactions in the group."
"The best thing is to focus on the principles of the game, to give clear instructions to the players, [on] what we expect from them in their role. And then they forget about the shirt and how heavy it is."
