Don’t judge Tuchel on ‘nonsense’ qualifiers – Rooney

According to Wayne Rooney, England manager Thomas Tuchel shouldn’t be let down by “nonsense” World Cup qualifiers.

In Group K over the next five days, The Three Lions will host Andorra and travel to Serbia.

In Tuchel’s first three competitive games, England defeated Albania 2-0, Latvia 3-0, and Andorra 1-0.

On his BBC podcast, The Wayne Rooney Show, Rooney claimed, “I think he’s a top manager.”

“He might have a little bit of stick about how England played,” he said. Those games are utter nonsense.

You arrive, and you are certain that England will prevail. You have to break down the 10 men who are seated behind the ball, which is difficult when playing against any team.

Between 2003 and 2018, Rooney has won 120 goals in his country.

“I grew to enjoy playing for England.” You know England will win, but watching them win some games can be a little boring. You enjoy it the most when you enter the tournament, he said, “of course.”

“The last few games were against Andorra or something similar.” It caused pain.

Thomas Tuchel probably wants a respectable game where he can show off his skills because I feel sorry for him. Really, it’s a no-win situation.

Tuchel’s England contract runs until the United States, Canada, and Mexico’s 2026 World Cup is over.

With three qualifiers to spare, they would be on the verge of clinching their place there with two victories in the following week.

Rooney continued, “You want to see England having to sit back and defend and tactically break down teams,” according to Thomas Tuchel.

That chance [will be] given to the better teams. I believe that he will perform exceptionally well for England. You don’t know whether they will win the World Cup, but I believe he has a chance, doesn’t he?
