Tuchel says the ‘brotherhood’ England are building is ‘precious’ as World Cup preparations continue a year after Kane questioned some players’ commitment to the cause.“What we are trying is to build a strong bond, to build an energy, to build a group, to build a team, to build a brotherhood that everyone wants to join,” the England boss said.“And to also build a competition and to open up a competition that everyone knows, ‘If I pull out in the wrong moment, if I pull out from a 50-50 situation, the door can be closed because someone else takes my shirt, someone else takes my place’.“Not even as a threat, but the other way around – that everyone is keen to come, that everyone loves to come to camp, loves to perform for the country because it is an honour and this is the last step of elite football to represent a country like England in a World Cup qualifying game or in a World Cup itself.“It’s the pinnacle. This is how it should feel, so I think we are absolutely on the (right) way. Everyone wanted to be part of the camps, everyone is desperate to come.“No-one is giving us any signals that this may be a good time to rest because we have already qualified and we will also not accept it, so it’s an energy that feeds itself.”Asked how precious it was to retain that feeling, Tuchel said: “Very precious. It’s the absolute key for me, before tactics, before personnel and whatever.“That is the key – everyone loves to be in camp, loves to play for England and enjoys it.”Tuchel has been told to bring in some new faces to his squad ahead of the World CupAFPEngland rank first in UEFA World Cup qualifying for successful passes (4,061), average possession (75.8%), passes per sequence (6.4), average sequence time (17.8 seconds) and open play sequences with 10 or more passes (172).Aleksandar Mitrovic’s next appearance will put him joint-second on the all-time cap holders for Serbia (inc. games as Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro), level with Branislav Ivanovic and behind only Dušan Tadić (111).
