Thomas Tuchel Talks About Ivan Toney's New Role in England Team

Thomas Tuchel had talks with Ivan Toney and now Toney has a special job.
Tuchel was not happy with Toney's training 12 months ago, but now Toney is back in the team. Tuchel changed his mind after the last England camp in March.
Toney plays in the Saudi Pro League, and people thought his England career was over. But Tuchel thinks Toney can be very helpful in the World Cup, especially in very hot weather.
Tuchel said Toney is part of a special team and connects well with others. It took time, but they started talking about the team selection in the last few weeks.
Tuchel was not happy with Toney in the June camp, and they had to clear up their problems. Tuchel was not happy with Toney's training and commitment, not his character.
Tuchel wants a strong team for set pieces, and Toney can help with that. Toney is very good at taking penalties, and Tuchel decided to give him another chance after talking to him and his club coach.
Tuchel has not watched Toney play in Saudi Arabia, but his assistant has. Tuchel knows Toney's coach from his time in Germany.
Tuchel wanted three strikers in his team, and after some players did not do well, he looked at Toney again. Harry Kane is always in the team, and Ollie Watkins is also in, but Toney's return is very surprising.
Tuchel talked about different team scenarios and thought about who could score goals. Toney's name came up because he has a strong presence on the field.
Sky has a new TV bundle with many channels and sports, including the Premier League and EFL.
Sky shows over 1,400 live matches, including Premier League, EFL, and Formula 1.
Tuchel said Harry Kane likes playing with Toney because Toney takes attention away from him. Toney is a traditional striker who can help the team.
Djed Spence is another surprise player in the team, despite struggling for game time at Tottenham. Spence can play on both sides, which is helpful because some players are injured.
Tuchel said Spence was excellent in every match he played for England. Spence has had a tough time at his club since the coach changed, but he brings something special to the team.
Djed Spence clashed with Liam Delap in a match.
Tuchel said Spence loves defending one-on-one, which makes him a great full-back. Spence can play on both sides, which is very helpful for the team.
Tuchel trusts Spence and the other full-back, Tino, because they did very well in the March matches.
