Tuchel rules the army with an iron fist! The fate of England s eight superstars is worrying! Who will miss the World Cup next summer?

"We are not looking for the most talented players, but trying to build a team. It is the team that can win trophies, not any other individual." As the World Cup approaches, if anyone still doubts whether England coach Thomas Tuchel will stick to his controversial selection strategy, then his sharp statement before defeating Wales in a friendly match basically gave a clear answer.

So far, during the German tactician's coaching tenure, the controversy over "who should be selected for the national team" has never stopped: many players in hot form have been excluded, while players such as Jordan Henderson and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have unexpectedly returned from the "marginal side of the national team".

"This is the norm in international football," the Three Lions coach continued, "but you (the media) don't understand what I mean. You always imply that 'Tuchel thinks that the players who are not selected will not fit into the team', but that is not the case. We built the team with the players currently available and they performed well, so we will continue with this team. No one said It is impossible to reach the same or even higher level by replacing other players."

However, Tuchel's decision to "continue to use the lineup that performed well during the September international match" to participate in the October event triggered more controversial snubs - England is currently only a few qualifiers away from qualifying for next year's North American World Cup (unless there is a major accident), but many big-name domestic players have not yet made the list.

"At this stage we will stick to our choices. The core principle is: we do not recruit the most talented players," Tuchel continued to emphasize. "We are looking for those who can bring cohesion and make the team the strongest unit. Because we need to compete in the World Cup as the 'strongest team'." We have never won a championship in decades, so we will be the "underdog" in the World Cup. There are many strong teams that have won the championship many times. Therefore, we must focus on the "team", otherwise we will have no chance."

These words are undoubtedly a severe warning to England's "talented stars". We have taken stock of the eight players whose fortunes are most at stake before the World Cup

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Although Arnold is undoubtedly one of the world's top full-backs, he has never been a regular in the England team - this "creative full-back" who is good at attacking from the back has always been controversial in terms of tactical suitability, and this situation has not changed since Tuchel took charge.

Since Tuchel officially took charge of England, Arnold only got 26 minutes of playing time against lowly Andorra in June. In March, he was absent from the squad due to injury, and during the international break at the end of the summer, he was dropped because Reece James and Tino Liveramento were ahead of the list. "He is a top player and will always be one of the candidates," Tuchel said at the time. "I know he is eager to be selected, which is very important. Just out of competitive considerations, I chose others."

Recently, Arnold has suffered from health problems and missed the October international match, further reducing the chance of "impressing the coach". Now, James, who studied under Tuchel at Chelsea, is firmly at the forefront of the draft. If Arnold cannot return to the squad in November, his World Cup prospects may be bleak.

Jude Bellingham

If England advances to the World Cup as hoped, it seems unimaginable that Bellingham will not become the core of the team. However, Tuchel's remarks and the shocking decision to "exclude him from the October training list" have cast a shadow on his World Cup berth.

The midfielder underwent surgery in September due to a long-term shoulder injury and missed previous training sessions. Although he has returned from injury, the Real Madrid superstar was once again defeated this month due to Tuchel's decision to "insist on using his old team to face Wales and Latvia."

"Jude is a very special player, and there may always be special rules for special players," Tuchel said when explaining this controversial decision. "I understand this. But for this training camp we decided to 'simply and directly use the original team'. This principle also applies to Jude - of course, he is always worthy of selection."

"There is another factor: he has not yet fully regained his playing rhythm in Real Madrid. Although he He has returned to the team, but has not played a full game and has only started once. Therefore, we are still in the stage of "restoring rhythm and regaining form". "

As an "epoch-making talent", Bellingham is naturally still expected to catch the last train of the World Cup, but the question is: if the team's record continues to be stable, how long will Tuchel's strategy of "repeating the same players" continue?

Jack Grealish

It has been nearly a year since Grealish last played for England (scoring against Finland last year to help the team win 3-1). Now he is probably thinking: How much more does he need to do to return to the national team? As one of the most technically sophisticated wingers among English players of his generation, Grealish has returned to form after being loaned to Everton this season. He has directly participated in scoring 5 times in 7 Premier League games, but is still excluded from the international arena.

Although the left wing is England's "problem position", and Tuchel also admitted that the 30-year-old player is "close to his best condition, a player with great characteristics and a team member with a distinctive personality", Grealish was still excluded from the October training list.

Gallish accepted the result with an excellent attitude. He told the media: "I can understand. I have communicated with the coach. The competition for this position is too fierce, especially on the left-Rashford is in hot form, and Eze and Anthony Gordon also performed well. I have nothing to complain. This is the situation."

But privately, Grealish's frustration may have been accumulating. The next few weeks will be crucial in his bid for a World Cup berth. Of course I am happy to be recognized by the manager, but my focus is still the club - if the club performs well, being selected for the England team will be an extra surprise. "

Tuchel's iron-fisted management may be what England has lacked in recent years. Do you think this coaching style can lead the England team to finally win next year's Hercules Cup?
