00:00And now, defensively, what will Thomas Tuchel's defensive line be?
00:03And it's a real mess, let's not kid ourselves, I don't think Tuchel himself knows
00:07not exactly which line of 4 behind he will align,
00:10There are so many players who can play in so many positions, who have different levels of fitness,
00:14different roles, different tactical objectives,
00:17which don't correspond in the same way to the tactics that Tuchel will instill, no really it's a nice
00:21mess.
00:21For me, one of the players we're sure to see starting on the right is, of course, Rhys James.
00:25Chelsea's right-back is, of course, very well known to Thomas Tuchel; I remind you that the latter has
00:30coached Chelsea a few years ago,
00:31and that the two of them won the Champions League together.
00:33Tuchel said there was no doubt about his quality, that he was ready to play in a cup competition
00:37of the world
00:37So I think we'll see him starting on the right side of this England team.
00:41On the left I think we'll have O'Reilly, in fact for me beyond the player I think that
00:44if we have Rhys James on the right,
00:46We'll definitely have O'Reilly on the left; they're players who complement each other quite well.
00:49Don't forget that when Tuchel has the ball, he likes his full-backs to come into the middle.
00:53field
00:54We know that Rhys James can play in midfield.
00:57So I think O'Reilly will do the same thing, for the simple reason that he has been
01:01trained in midfield,
01:03It's Guardiola who puts him on the left, because he's not necessarily a pure left-back.
01:07Finally, O'Reilly is a very versatile player, capable of playing in midfield, who can...
01:10realign,
01:11He is capable of many things.
01:13In central defense, I think we'll have Gueye on the right.
01:16Lately he has taken Harry Maguire's place in the hierarchy.
01:19Maguire wasn't even called up for this World Cup; we'll come back to the absentees later.
01:23Gueye is a reliable player who has a good understanding of the game.
01:26who remains fairly calm even under pressure, who is quite mobile, that's also important,
01:29I think Tourelle needs his thing, he's mobile, we'll come back to that later.
01:33And that's the whole question, actually; I think we'll have Konza on the left.
01:37Finally, in the center left, and Stones, well, honestly I don't know, I honestly don't know.
01:42Tourelle said that Stones was physically fit,
01:45I think England can start the competition with Ezri Konza at left centre.
01:49But I still think Stones can come and take a place.
01:52I'm putting it in the middle, because honestly I don't know.
01:56Honestly, both will get playing time, but the same applies.
01:58We'll have to see how it's distributed.
01:59These are positions somewhat like Rashford and Gordon's.
02:02There are pros and cons.
02:03I think there are pros and cons and pros and pros and pros.
02:03and for
02:03It's not personal that one should practice law, but
