Controversy swirls around Thomas Tuchel yet again

Troublemaker Thomas Tuchel stirs up more friction.

The English national team is gearing up for a rematch against Andorra, a team ranked 174th in the world, on an evening kick-off at 6 p.m. The game will be broadcast on DAZN or live on ntv.de.

Despite the absence of Jude Bellingham due to injury, the team will take the field under the guidance of new manager Thomas Tuchel. His decision to leave out Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish, and Phil Foden has stirred some controversy among observers, with some viewing it as a risky move.

Tuchel, however, remains optimistic about the team's prospects, denying the existence of a "curse" on English teams. He has expressed his desire for a clear, unthreatened win in the rematch against Andorra. In the previous encounter, Andorra almost managed to draw against England without Harry Kane.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has verbally supported Tuchel, stating that he needs time. Ferdinand also suggested that miracles will be needed in the coming summer for England to achieve success. The former captain of the English national team, Wayne Rooney, has also voiced his support for the new manager.

The English team has had a mixed run of form, with three World Cup qualifying wins and a 1:3 defeat against Senegal. The media described the team as "humiliated", "beaten", or "embarrassed" following the loss in June. The English press was not euphoric after the wins either, with the focus remaining on the team's shortcomings.

Tuchel sees his squad as more competitive than before, but some observers view his decision as a risky signal. The authoritative source that described Thomas Tuchel as a top coach is not explicitly named in the available search results.

In a recent apology, Tuchel acknowledged his use of the word "repulsive" to describe Jude Bellingham's behaviour during a game. Bellingham will miss the game against Andorra due to injury.

The much more challenging away game in Serbia awaits England in the coming week. The team will need to put in a strong performance against Andorra to build momentum for the tougher fixtures ahead.
