There's a real emphasis on the togetherness of this group.
And that's what Tuchel's trying to get into them.
It's very harmonious at the moment, yeah.
And when you listen to the words of Jude Bellingham and the manager...
they're both singing from the same song sheet, if you like, in the same place.
And I think it was important for the manager to make Jude realize that he was part of a group.
He wasn't the main attraction.
He wasn't the star attraction.
He was part of the group.
And I think when you use Harry Kane as the example, you know, he's the biggest star of that team and he's the biggest one that wants the group mentality and the team mentality.
And you look at the squad that he used today.
The substitutes was another really impressive thing as well.
I mean, he had the opportunity to bring off Madaweke.
He brought off Jude Bellingham.
He brought off Declan Rice.
You know, I was surprised when he brought off Declan Rice.
But then he talks about utilising the squad and the players that he brought on.
Gueye, Saka, Rodgers and Rashford, all of them were in a conversation before this game that they could have potentially started the game.
And one really impressive thing that Thomas Tuchel did for me today
was he made substitutions that affected the game but he made substitutions at a stage in the game where he could have chosen to go defensively when they're winning 3-2 we've seen managers change to a back five and you know sit with the holding midfielders but what he did was he made offensive changes he realized that england's strength was in the final third of the field and he made changes that not only affected the game but allowed england to go and get that fourth fourth goal which sealed the win i think we're going to see an exciting england they stuck to their identity even when they had their backs to the wall he made changes
