12 h. ago Jordan Henderson: ‘I looked at how far it was to Berlin and I hired a van’

Recalled England midfielder discusses his last-minute dash, as a fan, to the Euro 2024 final – and his World Cup dreamJordan Henderson wanted to be part of it. He felt he deserved to be part of it. And so, despite the obstacles, he put in the hard yards to make it happen. It has been a theme of the Ajax midfielder’s career and it resonates once again with him back in the England squad, winning his 81st cap as a substitute in Thomas Tuchel’s first game as head coach – the 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Albania on Friday night. The more sideways take on it came last summer.Henderson was devastated to have been overlooked by Gareth Southgate for Euro 2024 in Germany, having been involved throughout qualification.

Operating mainly as a No 10, Bellingham struggled to connect with Harry Kane and sometimes looked to go it alone. Continue reading...

4 d. ago Thomas Tuchel: perfectionist, workaholic, disciplinarian winner

Those who have played under the England head coach describe an intense football obsessive who is never far from boiling pointWith Thomas Tuchel, the devil is in the detail and it can often seem like an obsessive, controlling force. The new England head coach sees the minutiae like few others. “In training, he will check if you control the ball with the correct foot,” says Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who played under him at Borussia Dortmund and, briefly, Chelsea.Even this does not tell the full story. As other members of Tuchel’s Chelsea squad will tell you, he demanded they knew the favoured foot of every teammate on the pitch and always passed into it; at the right speed, at the right angle, at the right time. Get it wrong and they could expect to hear about it. Continue reading...
