Tuchel issues Bellingham discipline challenge to harness England star's qualities Pulse Sports Nigeria

Thomas Tuchel had a dig at Gareth Southgate, claiming England played with no identity last summer, more focused on avoiding elimination than chasing glory. Ouch.

Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad selection has raised a few eyebrows, most notably the inclusion of both Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker. During media duties this week, the England manager put an emphasis on physicality and pressing, a tactic not commonly associated with international football. He also voiced that he felt England were more afraid to drop out of Euro 2024 than having the hunger and excitement to win it. So is Tuchel's first squad a step forward or step back, and can his more proactive style of management win England the World Cup? Host: Matt Davies-Adams With: Jack Pitt-Brooke, Tim Spiers Executive Producer: Adey Moorhead Producer: Jay Beale Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jimbo is joined in the studio by Duncan Alexander, Jack Lang and Tom Williams on that most blessed of occasions - international week. Thomas Tuchel gets ready for his first game as England manager in World Cup qualifying and we’re all very impressed with how he’s handled the media so far. The Nations League quarter-finals see Germany win in Italy and Croatia overcome France thanks to another ridiculously good Luke Modric performance. Belgium lose a 4th game in a row in what was Rudi Garcia’s 4th match in charge. Which makes us wonder why French managers aren’t coaching at elite club level anymore? Brazil leap up the table in CONMEBOL qualifying thanks to a dramatic late win over Colombia. Plus trademark celebrations, CONCACAF Nations League drama and Quenda we get to see Chelsea’s new signing? Produced by Charlie Jones. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Tuchel making a good impression (02.00) • PART 2a: Netherlands 2-2 Spain & Denmark 1-0 Portugal (13.00) • PART 2b: Italy 1-2 Germany (18.00) • PART 2c: Croatia 2-0 France (21.00) • PART 2d: Chelsea sign Geovany Quenda (26.00) • PART 2e: Elsewhere in the Nations League (30.00) • PART 3a: Brazil 2-1 Colombia (37.00) • PART 3b: Nations League dismay for USA & Canada (44.00) Hosted on Acast.

What a week it has been for Newcastle defender Dan Burn! In this episode of 'One on One', Juliette Ferrington went to his hometown of Blyth to meet up with the 32 year old, with neither knowing what was going to happen eight days later on Friday 14th March, when he was called up to the England squad by Thomas Tuchel. Two days after that, he became the first Newcastle United man to score in a Cup Final since 1976. The stuff of fairytales! However, as we find out, it's not always been easy for Burn - from dealing with rejection and playing non-league, to having his confidence shot as he made his way back to Newcastle in the Premier League.

In this week’s episode of It Was What It Was, Jonathan and Rob take a deep dive into the fascinating journey of Thomas Tuchel, the newly appointed England manager. From his early years as a player with a mature football mind, to a detour studying economics while working in a cocktail bar, Tuchel’s path to football’s elite has been anything but ordinary. Jonathan and Rob discuss how a timely call from Ralph Rangnick set Tuchel on a coaching trajectory that would see him manage some of Europe’s biggest clubs— Mainz, Dortmund, PSG, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich. They reflect on the highlights of his career, including his confidence that led Chelsea to a thrilling Champions League victory over Manchester City in 2021. Now, with Tuchel at the helm of the England national team, the duo explores what he brings to the international stage, how he might shape England’s future, and whether he can achieve the same success on the world stage that he did in club football. Join us for a compelling look at one of football’s most innovative managers, and what his unique journey could mean for the future of English football.

Vicky Gomersall is joined by The Mirror's Darren Lewis and Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We start by discussing Manchester City’s loss at Brighton, a fourth consecutive defeat for Pep Guardiola. It’s “No Rodri, no party” for Dharmesh. Meanwhile, Liverpool go five points clear of City with a home win over Aston Villa. Were Liverpool overlooked at the beginning of the season? Elsewhere, Paul Merson returns to his old club to sit down with Mikel Arteta and Declan Rice; Arteta assures Merson that Arsenal are “here to win”, despite a recent dip in form. Also, Johnny Phillips discusses tactics with Enzo Maresca, who talks of keeping the identity of his team consistent, but finding solutions for different opposition. Finally, we talk Thomas Tuchel ahead of the international break. Dharmesh questions “why’s he not in charge now?” and believes there is pressure on both Tuchel and the FA.

David Jones presents Saturday Night Football alongside Jamie Redknapp and Theo Walcott who analyse Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth which sees their unbeaten start to the season come to an end. The visitors’ efforts were not helped by William Saliba receiving a red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity in the first half. Redknapp felt Arsenal struggled all game but did praise Andoni Iraola for his tactics in what was a statement win for the Cherries. There is reaction from both dressing rooms with goalscorer Ryan Christie revealing he was delighted to get on the scoresheet after not doing so for a long time. A deflated Declan Rice said that there were no complaints about the result but insisted they cannot keep making mistakes. Mikel Arteta also reflected on the disappointing defeat by saying that two big errors cost him and his players. In the final part, Redknapp and Walcott give their views on the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as the new England manager.
