Thomas Tuchel wants England substitutes to channel anger into World Cup victory

Thomas Tuchel is seeking a key advantage from England's substitutes in order to fuel their passion and anger into achieving victory at the 2026 World Cup. The Chelsea manager has made a conscious effort to create an atmosphere where his team members channel their frustration if they are not chosen to start, thereby making the impact with every opportunity.

For Tuchel, the most effective teams often perform well when coming off the bench and maintaining momentum until late in the match. He attributes this success to having a cohesive brotherhood within the squad, which drives them to be proactive and positive despite being on the sidelines.

Tuchel's experience from winning the Champions League with Chelsea can help him implement his philosophy into the World Cup final. The German coach expressed frustration at leaving players out of the starting lineup due to the high stakes of international football, which he believes would lead some players to become disheartened and less effective when not chosen.

However, Tuchel is confident that England's substitutes will thrive in the event. He emphasizes the importance of clarity on roles within the team and encourages players to take responsibility for adapting to their parts. The Germany manager acknowledges that his focus may be misunderstood if Jude Bellingham, who has recently started gaining prominence due to recent performances, was substituted out during the match.

Tuchel explained how he used Morgan Rogers in a crucial role against Serbia but recognized the potential disconnection between front and backline when using substitutes in critical positions. When asked about singing the national anthem before matches like Germany's team song, Tuchel expressed his willingness to consider it for future events.
 
I dont get why they need all that emotional stuff to win a world cup final 🤔... cant just pick the best 11 players and be done with it?
 
I'm loving Tuchel's approach to bringing out the best from his subs 🤩! It's all about creating a positive vibe within the squad and making each player feel valued, even if they're not starting 🌟. I mean, who doesn't love a good bench-clearing performance 💪? It's like he's saying, "Hey guys, we've got this! We're gonna fuel that fire and make it happen!" 🔥 And with his experience in the Champions League, I'm sure he'll bring some serious know-how to the World Cup final 🏆. Let's hope Jude Bellingham's subs spot doesn't get him down 😬, but Tuchel seems like a top coach who knows what works 💡!
 
idk why ppl keep thinkin england's subs r just gonna magically come in & make a difference 🤷‍♂️ coach tuchel's tryin out this whole "foster anger" thing tho, but i'm not sure if it's more than just motivation 💁‍♂️ maybe its true? like, havin a solid squad dynamic can lift u up when u're sittin on the bench 🤝 but idk about judge bellingham bein substituted out... seems like tuchel's still figuring that one out 😐
 
OMG, like is this even real? 🤣 England's subs are gonna be the game changers in the 2026 WC?! It sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me... I mean, who needs all that drama and emotional mess on the pitch? Can't they just focus on scoring goals already?! 😂 And what's with Tuchel being so extra about Jude Bellingham's playing time? 🙄 Like, calm down dude. It's just a game...
 
I feel Tuchel is onto something with this approach 🤔. It's all about creating a sense of belonging and responsibility within the squad. If players know what they need to do and can execute it when called upon, that's a winning formula. I'm curious to see how England will implement this strategy in the World Cup final. Will Jude Bellingham be able to bounce back from being substituted out? 🤞
 
🤔 I'm not sure if this is a genius move by Tuchel or just a bunch of hype 🤑. On one hand, it sounds like he's creating a toxic environment where players are fueled by anger and frustration, which could definitely work in their favor when coming off the bench 💥. But on the other hand, I worry that it might lead to some players getting pretty bitter and burnt out 🔥. And what about Jude Bellingham? Shouldn't he be starting over some of the older guys who have more experience under Tuchel's guidance 🤷‍♂️?
