And that's such a contrast to Gareth Southgate, where you'd say he got the environment right, deserves, you know, if England do go on to win this World Cup, Southgate deserves some of the credit, clearly, because he's changed the culture.
the change in the academy system the introduction of elite player performance plan in 2011 the introduction of England DNA in 2013 you say it takes five years for that to work through the system and look at England's results in men's and women's football since 2018 and you can compare it to the whole of history before 2018
There's a radical improvement.
So Southgate deserves credit for that.
But you could regularly, at the sharp end of tournaments, you're thinking of the Croatia semi-final in 2018.
You're thinking of the Italy final in 2021.
You're thinking even of the France game at the last World Cup.
the Spain final in year 2024, you could see games drifting away from England and he seemed not to have the capacity, the clarity of vision, the self-confidence to make the changes to put that right.
Whereas Tuchel has no problems with that.
He seems to relish it.
Yeah.
Well, you can see Tuchel's obviously very intense.
Is he?
I haven't... His waving arms, the way, the boggly eyes at every hydration break.
You can see, I mean, I think we've seen that with Bielsa, that what works at club level, where the players are with him for a couple of hours a day and then they go home to their families or they...
they go and play golf or whatever they do, and then get away from him.
Whereas you suspect that at major tournaments, Bielsa sort of haunts the hotel, this presence, meaning everybody's on edge all the time.
If you look with Uruguay, it was very clearly after the Copa America in 2024 when things started to go wrong.
They'd been very good up until that point.
And you do slightly worry is Tuchel the same.
