00:01Newcastle United's Dan Byrne was recently called up to the England squad to replace Mark Gahey.
00:07Thomas Tuchel was very impressed with the centre-back's performance.
00:11Here is what the manager had to say.
00:13Yeah, he came late into camp and Dan is just Dan.
00:18You know, he's like a fantastic guy to have and he's always a standard setter in training
00:25and always lives up to the highest standards in terms of how to socialise on and off the pitch,
00:34how to get things going, get training going and pushes everyone.
00:38So, yeah, we opted for him today.
00:41It was maybe a 51% decision for him and against Jared Brentswede
00:45because we had some changes in the back four and we knew that he played in this similar kind of
00:51style
00:51to go into opponent's half into a man-man with Newcastle and he played with Lewis Hall
00:58and Anthony Gordon on the side.
01:00So, they did it for Eddie Howe in Champions League and it was a bit of a similar approach.
01:06So, we thought it could help because we had some new faces and new partnerships in the back four.
01:13So, we went for him.
01:15We had a bit of an awkward moment now when we conceded the goal.
01:17Very unlikely him, but overall good performance, vocal, brave and dangerous for our set play.
01:29So, well done.
01:29So, we went to focus on.
