England head coach Thomas Tuchel said Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden were competing for the same striker role. According to the words of the mentor, in this area, football itself demonstrates its greatest strengths, so one of them may lose his starting position in the upcoming matches in the selection for the 2026 Emergency against Albania and Serbia.

" One of my main points is to be smart in the end zone and score the balls that the attackers want to score,” Tuchel said.

At the same time, the coach emphasizes that Foden also opens up best in the center, and not on the flank. Tuchel predicted his game against Borussia Dortmund, when the Manchester City midfielder scored a double, playing in the role between the ninth and tenth number.

" I don't think I'm a winger anymore. We already discussed this with him - his place in the center of the field,” the mentor added.

Tuchel also recognized that, for consumption, offenses can be created in the victorious world - like the “hibni nine”, but not due to the obviousness of the main forward. Alternatives for this fall - Marcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon.
