Ezri Konsa grabbed attention before he even spoke. The England defender arrived for media duties wearing bright red, slipper-like shoes covered in grooves and bumps — footwear the manufacturer claims can boost concentration by stimulating foot pressure points. Whether Konsa or manager Thomas Tuchel truly buy the science is a different question.
Tuchel laughed off the explanation: “They say it helps them focus. I haven’t had time to study it. But if they believe in it, that might be what counts.”
Belief, mindset and internal discipline have become key themes in England’s camp. Tuchel meditates daily, credits breathwork coach Suzanne Scott for helping players relax, and stresses the importance of looking inward now that World Cup qualification is already secured.
England’s remaining matches — Serbia and Albania — lack jeopardy, and even March friendlies won’t replicate tournament pressure. Real intensity will return only next summer in North America.
Still, Tuchel wants commitment. He has challenged his players to create the energy the Wembley crowd has lacked recently. “Just because the stakes are lower doesn’t mean we stop running or pressing,” he said.
This moment is about reinforcing England’s identity, not experimenting. Tuchel plans to stick to the 6-8-10 midfield structure, specialist wingers, and clear positional roles. The No.10 spot will rotate among Bellingham, Foden or Rogers; Kane will lead the line, but never with both Foden and Bellingham alongside him at once.
Tuchel wants to solidify chemistry, define hierarchies, and strengthen what he calls the squad’s “brotherhood.” Eight starters for the World Cup opener already seem certain — Pickford, James, Stones, Rice, Anderson, Saka, Bellingham and Kane — with battles ongoing at centre-back, left wing and especially at left-back.
Ultimately, Tuchel’s mantra is clear: focus on Plan A, trust the structure, and let inner motivation drive performance.
