Tuchel's England Team

England players trust their head coach, who has got the balance of squad spirit right at the World Cup. The team's energy is high, and the players can feel it.

Background

A section in a football hooligan study describes a phalanx of England faces steaming through the centre of Rotterdam, with their leader whispering to his men, saying the energy is high.

Key Details

A dressing-room video, with over 40m views, shows Declan Rice and John Stones playing a prank on Tuchel after a match at the Estadio Azteca. Rice pretends Stones has injured his shoulder, and Stones plays along, before raising his fist as the beat drops and the room falls about in hysteria.

What It Means

The prank video suggests that Tuchel has a good relationship with his players, and that the team's spirit is high. The fact that the video has been viewed over 40m times also suggests that the public is interested in the team's dynamics.
