As he joins Tuchel's squad for World Cup qualifiers, Trafford also finds comfort in the presence of fellow Cumbrian Dean Henderson, emphasizing their shared cultural background and camaraderie. His reflections highlight the influence of coaching styles on player development and team dynamics.
"They have an obsession with football. They don't really leave any stone unturned. They prepare you as well as you can, so when you go into the game, you know more or less exactly what you’re going to face."
"They're just so motivated, and they inspire you. When they speak, they've got such a way with how they speak that you just believe them so much and listen to everything they say."
